A guide for moms who want to feel like themselves again
My first nursing necklace was a gift. I didn't choose it. It was light gray with beige. It wasn't colorful, it didn't have high contrast... and yet, Elisa started grabbing it before she was 4 months old. As if the color didn't matter as much to her as the shared moment.
And it's true that we often think it has to be very colorful to really serve its purpose... But the nursing necklace is not a toy. The necklace is for you. It's that little reminder that you are also here, in this story. That your body, your tastes, your style, and your energy also matter.
The necklace is for you (and yes, it also stimulates your baby)
Of course, your baby will interact with the necklace, especially from 4 months old when their vision improves, their grasp evolves, and their curiosity about the world grows. But the one wearing it is you. And for that reason, the most important thing is that you feel good with it.
At VazART, we believe that the nursing necklace should be, above all, a way to reconnect with yourself. To reconcile with your femininity while empowering yourself in your motherhood. To look in the mirror and say: “I like myself, I recognize myself, this is mine.”
And the baby? Of course, they also benefit. It stimulates their sight, their hands, their mouth. But that is a beautiful consequence, not the starting point. For sensory stimulation, there are products designed exclusively for that, such as our baby-friendly accessories: pacifier clips, hand teethers, multipurpose garlands, wind kites... or if you prefer something that integrates color, sound, and lights, there's always Fisher Price.
The necklace is a bond. It is presence. It is part of your motherhood. A reminder of everything you are holding (and you are doing it incredibly).
Your color also speaks of you (and how you feel as a mom)
There are days when you want to go unnoticed. Other days when you need the world to see you. And there are days when you just get dressed to survive. I experienced it. That's why I know that the color you choose for your necklace can be an extension of how you are feeling today.
- Earth tones: tranquility, connection, containment.
- Pastels: sweetness, tenderness, softness.
- Vibrant colors: energy, joy, inner strength.
- Strong contrasts: focus, movement, visual stimulation.
You are not just choosing an accessory. You are choosing how you want to feel every time you wear it. You are embracing your femininity at a time when we often put it aside.
Choosing a color is also a way to acknowledge yourself
Sometimes, motherhood feels like a whirlwind where you get left behind. Your body changes, your routine changes, your priorities too. Choosing a necklace and the color that represents it may seem like a minimal decision, but it's not. It's a pause. It's a reminder that you are also going through a profound process.
The color you choose can be a way of telling yourself: “this is who I am today.” It can connect with your desire for calm or your need for energy. It can help you recover a bit of your style, your essence, of what you were (and still are), even if you now combine it with dark circles and diapers.
And that's why at VazART we don't believe there is an “ideal color” for the baby. Because the necklace is for you. The best color is the one that makes you feel good when you wear it.
And if you can't find one that represents you, write to us. We'll create yours together, with the colors that speak of you, of your process, of what you are experiencing.
Choosing your color, choosing yourself
When you are pregnant or have just given birth, it's easy to feel like everything revolves around the baby. But you are also being born as a mother. You also deserve details that celebrate you.
That's why our necklaces are also the perfect baby shower gift. Because there is no better detail than telling a woman: “You also matter.”
So yes: choosing the color of your necklace is much more than an aesthetic choice. It is a symbolic decision. It is a way to return to yourself.
And you? What color represents your motherhood today?
