Help and support

A feeding necklace, also called a breastfeeding necklace or nursing necklace, is worn by a parent during feeding to give babies something safe to hold and focus on instead of pinching, scratching, or pulling.

Yes — many parents find feeding necklaces help keep babies calm and focused during feeds by giving their hands something to do.

This is a normal developmental stage. As babies grow, they explore using their hands and often pinch, pull, or fidget during feeds.

Giving your baby something safe to hold, like a feeding necklace, can help redirect this behaviour and make feeding more comfortable.

No. Feeding necklaces are designed for holding and sensory engagement during feeding — they are not teething toys.

They are most useful from around 8–12 weeks, when babies begin grabbing and becoming more aware during feeds.

No — they are helpful for breastfed, bottle-fed and tube-fed babies.

Teething toys are designed for babies to chew on safely to help soothe sore gums during teething.

Yes — Yummirings are designed with teething babies in mind. Their smooth, cool stainless steel surface can feel soothing on sore gums, while the shape and movement make them easy for little hands to hold, explore and chew. Many parents find they’re a great alternative to traditional plastic teething toys.

The best teething toys are safe, non-toxic, durable, easy to clean, and easy for babies to hold.

Most babies start needing teething toys from around 3 months, when they begin putting things in their mouths and may start showing early signs of teething. Our YummiRings are suitable from around 3 months through to toddlerhood.

Yes — Yummikeys and YummiRings are designed for babies who explore by mouthing and are safety tested for this use under supervision.

Yes. Stainless steel is widely used in cutlery and medical environments because it is strong, hygienic, and non-porous.

Real keys can have sharp edges, may carry dirt, and may contain materials not suitable for babies. Yummikeys are designed to offer a similar feel but in a baby-safe way.

Yes — they are tested to relevant safety standards and made from non-toxic materials.

As babies grow, they become more aware of their surroundings and can lose focus during feeds.

Many babies become more distracted as they grow and become more aware of the world around them. Reducing distractions can help, but many parents also find that giving their baby something safe to hold, like a YummiNecklace feeding necklace, helps create a calmer and more focused feeding experience.

This is often due to distraction or developmental changes rather than a feeding issue.

Many parents find that giving babies something safe to hold helps create a calmer feeding experience. Our YummiNecklace feeding necklace gives busy little hands a gentle focus, which can help reduce fidgeting, pinching and constant unlatching during feeds.
