Pretty Mummy has a selection of Reminder Bracelets for breatfeeding mums. Using a reminder bracelet when breastfeeding helps mum remember what side next! It avoids writing notes to yourself (then loosing them if you're like me!) and best of all that boob juggle you do when you can't remember which side you fed from last!! Using a reminder bracelet guarantees that your baby gets a full feed and is happy and satisfied.
When breastfeeding, your baby first gets the 'fore milk' first, the drink which quenches their thirst, then comes the 'hind milk' which is the 'creme de la creme' packed full of goodness, and growth hormones. Its really important when breastfeeding, especially if you're doing both sides per feed to remember which side you're up to as you risk just giving your baby the 'fore milk' which will end up with one hungry grumpy baby!! It is also important that you drain one breast before offering the other - which has the added bonus of keeping up a good milk supply! Reminder bracelets give you the advantage of being able to remember by swapping over each time you feed.
As with our nursing necklaces, reminder bracelets are designed as an aid for you and not as a toy for your baby. Just as with any item which is not specifically designed as a toy they must be used under strict supervision of an alert and responsible adult and they are certainly not suitable for independent play.
