things we love: mama & little
**GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***
When my son was born, I remember my own mama telling me to say goodbye to wearing jewelry for a while, unless I wanted it pulled on, slobbered on, and generally in the way. I was resistant to this notion, as I love wearing jewelry and accessorizing my outfits to make them feel more finished. But eventually, I discovered she was right. Babies just have a natural magnetism towards articles dangling off of their mamas. And especially teething babies who just want to put everything in their mouth!
So when I discovered Mama & Little teething jewelry, I was totally stoked that I could add a little something to my outfit of the day that was both baby friendly and stylish! In fact I find it so cute, that I even wear it on the rare occasions when I am not with my babe. And I don’t even feel bad about it. I’ve actually received many complements from unsuspecting strangers on how cute it is!
My daughter is now nearly twenty months and still loves to chew on these beads when she gets a chance. And even my four-year-old son is fascinated by my Mama & Little jewelry collection (although he’s not chewing on them – usually).
on me: the audrey necklace and finley bangle from mama & little // gold cuff is from my most recent rocksbox // spaghetti strap maternity dress by rachel pally // on baby A: mabel playsuit by mabo kids // rose gold gladiators by mini moxie.
Yet another reason to love this teething jewelry is it’s so easy to clean! I’m sort of a germ freak [although I have become much less crazy about it after baby #2]. When we are out an about, I use a baby wipe to keep the germs at bay and then when we get home, I just throw it all in the top rack of our dishwasher to kill any lingering yuckies.
And as you can see from the main image, I found the Mama & Little muslin drawstring bag handy while we were traveling not only to hold my Mama & Little jewelry, but also to hold some of mine and my girl’s other accessories and fun beach finds all in one handy place.
Now, for the reason you are here! If you want to win your own Mama & Little teething jewelry in the form of a $50 SHOP CREDIT, all you have to do is tell me in the comments below when your babe’s first tooth came in [or if it’s on the way now]! Contest begins now, Thursday, July 16, 2015 and ends at 5:00 pm PST on Sunday, July 19th. I will chose a random winner from the comments below within 24 hours of the contest closing. Winner will be contacted by email address provided. GOOD LUCK!

I am the first to enter! 😉 Vivi has a couple teeth on the way, and I love this jewelry! Much cuter than other ones I have seen around! Xo
July 16, 2015 @ 7:06 AM
I am so in love with this jewelry! I’ve never tried it with my other children, but I have a 7 week old baby girl so teething is inevitably in our future. I would LOVE to win this so I can add a little style to our fun times ahead with teething 🙂
July 16, 2015 @ 7:25 AM
My son had 3 teeth by 5 months and it looks like my daughter will be the same. She is drooling and chewing something fierce at 3 months!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:04 AM
Love this idea! Would love to win and be able to wear some functional jewlery again. Haha
Baby boys teeth are on the way anyway now
July 16, 2015 @ 10:06 AM
My baby is due this Sunday, July 19th! And we don’t know if it’s a boy or girl and I am so excited to meet our little one! I’ve been eyeing these necklaces and would love to win to buy my own and be ready for when those pearly whites come in. 🙂
July 16, 2015 @ 10:07 AM
My first baby is due January 2016, so I’m far from his or her first teeth but I share your love for assesories! A few have already told me about ditching my long necklaces and earrings, so I’ve been on the hunt for baby friendly jewelry. I have already ordered a Mama & Little Grace necklace which I’m tempted to wear now! I’d love the store credit so I can build a collection that both my baby and I will love! Thank you for the opportunity!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:13 AM
Well my first baby a son is due any day now from now until August 11th so he doesn’t have any teeth that I know of yet, but I’ve heard of some babies being born with teeth! Yikes! I truly love this company and the style of her jewelry and cannot wait for my son to be born and start playing with it while I nurse him but also teethe on it!! I would love to win but am not sure I qualify but hey it’s worth a shot! Love you blog as well! Thank you for partnering with Mama + Little!!!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:14 AM
My son got his first tooth about 8 months!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:24 AM
My beautiful baby girl is 4 months and she has been a sweet slobbery mess 🙂 she love grabbing my necklaces and trying to put them in her mouth! This would be perfect for her!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:27 AM
My daughter’s first tooth came around 4/5 months. She’s three years old now. 🙂 And my son is working on one now at 4 1/2 months. I keep thinking surely it’s going to break through soon! We have one M&L which I LOVE, and I’ve had my eye on one more so I’ll be set for my whole wardrobe! 🙂 Plus, I think my son’s little hands would prefer something like the Zoey. We have a Teresa now. Thanks for the fun giveaway!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:32 AM
My little got his first tooth the day he turned 7 months. I remember him being pretty cranky and I didn’t realize why until the next day
July 16, 2015 @ 10:33 AM
My little one, Violet was in the ER last week with an unexpected fever at 2 months old. After much testing, we discovered that she is TEETHING ALREADY, and that the fever was probably a result of the teething. We have a big few months ahead of us 🙂 love your sweet pics!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:42 AM
My daughters first tooth came at 40 weeks 🙂 she was a late one!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:48 AM
My daughter Aspen (now 12mos…Wow!) got her first tooth at 7 months old in February 😀
July 16, 2015 @ 10:50 AM
She cut her first two teeth at the same time (last week of February 2015). She is working on 3 more at the moment and is biting me like crazy!! She’s been biting me so hard that she is leaving little bruises on me once the bite mark disappears.
Those necklaces look gorgeous!!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:52 AM
My little babe is almost 4 months, so no teeth yet! But, she is drooling a LOT and daddy is a dentist, so we are checking all the time! ☺️
July 16, 2015 @ 10:59 AM
My daughter got hers around 6 months. My son is now 2 months, so I am curious to see when his pop up 🙂
July 16, 2015 @ 11:34 AM
My baby boy doesn’t have any teeth yet but everything goes in his mouth. I have a mama & little bracelet and necklace, he loves gnawing on them both. He really enjoys tugging on the necklace when I hold him. I get so many compliments about the jewelry i can’t wait to buy more. I hope I win!
Thank you!
July 16, 2015 @ 11:56 AM
My daughters first TWO teeth came in at 8 months.
July 16, 2015 @ 12:20 PM
My baby girl is 3 mos old and she’s been chomping away on her hands. So it seems that her teeth may just be coming in!! She would love to have a necklace and or bracelet to munch on! And mama & little’s jewelry are lovely to dress up in!
July 16, 2015 @ 12:37 PM
My little one isn’t even here yet! But I’m due with my first August 18 🙂 hope I still qualify!
July 16, 2015 @ 12:39 PM
My little one is only 6 weeks old, so no teeth just yet, but I’m starting my collection of Mama&Little jewelry early so I can be extra stylish when her pearly whites make their appearance!
July 16, 2015 @ 1:10 PM
My son started teething at around 4 months (he’s 5 y.o. now) and I have a little girl on the way (due any day now) so it would be fun to have some fab teething jewelry for me and my girl.
July 16, 2015 @ 7:14 PM
First tooth came in around 6 months. I’d love to win for my currently teething little guy.
July 16, 2015 @ 8:10 PM
My baby girl will be 7 months old on Sunday and has been working so hard on popping that first tooth! It’s so close to coming through, hopefully any day now!
July 16, 2015 @ 9:08 PM
My son had his first two bottom teeth by 6months. He is now 8 months and has three more on top and is cutting one more on top as we speak. A total of 6 at 8 months! He sometimes bites on me while nursing so these necklaces have come in handy!
July 16, 2015 @ 9:35 PM
My son is 10 months and his first two teeth popped up just a month ago! Two teeth at the same was brutal. Now his top two are making their way. Fingers crossed for some Mama & Little jewelry to help us both!
July 16, 2015 @ 10:18 PM
My son cut his first tooth around 7 months after months of teething without any results. I never wore jewelry with him as there wasn’t any baby safe jewelry on the market then, and if I wore anything it immediately went in his mouth. I have a little girl on the way and I would love to have something beautiful to wear that she can enjoy as well.
July 17, 2015 @ 3:38 PM
My little man’s first tooth came through just as he turned 6 months. He is 8 months now and has both bottom teeth and we believe the top two are working their way through, lots of drool!
July 18, 2015 @ 10:16 PM
Our little guy is only 6 weeks old so no teeth yet but we are getting a head start on buying things for him so we are prepared when it happens!
July 19, 2015 @ 2:53 PM
Addie’s first tooth came in when she turned 10 months! But this jewelry would be lovely to have for Emery when she starts teething!!
July 19, 2015 @ 2:54 PM
Hello! My little one is on the way! November can’t come fast enough ☺️ Little teefers are the best and me and my husband can’t wait to experience this with our first little!
July 19, 2015 @ 2:55 PM
My babe hasn’t had her first tooth yet, but she loves to chew on everything!!! I have a mama And little necklace and take it everywhere and Rowan loves it! I even sometimes put it around her neck and she’ll grab it and play with it and chew on it.
July 19, 2015 @ 2:55 PM
This would be fantastic! My sweet Lily is 10 months old with 8 teeth! She started teething at four months old and it has definitely been a challenge. Her first tooth broke through at about five months and boy we would use these and use them well! Thank you for your consideration and for sharing!
July 19, 2015 @ 2:56 PM
No teeth yet but they seem to be in process. My son wants to suck and chew on everything in sight! And he’s always grabbing at me when I hold him. I need a teething necklace! 😉
July 19, 2015 @ 2:57 PM
My little angel is 4 months and showing signs of teething. With this being our first we could use all the help and advice we can get! You’re so sweet to do this giveaway! Thank you
July 19, 2015 @ 2:59 PM
When my first son first started teething it was constant chewing on my jewelry. I always tried to wear something chunky and even made some of my own on kid friendly strings. Thinking about it now I don’t know HOW that was comfy on those tiny gums. Little boy #2 should be getting some teeth in soon and I am convinced that Mama and Little jewelry is sent from heaven. SO cute (much cuter than other teething jewelry, imo) and such gum friendly design. I’m in love! And I can wear them without my LO
July 19, 2015 @ 3:04 PM
We’re in full on teething mode now at almost 5 months… Waiting for the first one to pop!
July 19, 2015 @ 3:06 PM
My little one is only 10 weeks old and already teething! I love mama and little jewelry! 🙂
July 19, 2015 @ 3:10 PM
My lil ones teeth are coming in already!! I’m obsessed with these necklaces and absolutely love every design!! Thank you for creating such a gorgeous jewelry that basically goes with all my outfits!
July 19, 2015 @ 3:18 PM
What a great idea! I have (almost) 4 month old boy/girl twins, they don’t have any teeth yet… But I’m sure they are coming sooner than later 😉
July 19, 2015 @ 3:32 PM
My little girl Olivia is one now her first tooth came in at 4 1/2 months!!! She has been such a joy even when teething, but my first one was not at all like that he was a little monster. I bet your mom was pretty happy you found pretty jewelry to wear with your babes:) thanks for the tip on how to clean them- they sure have some beautiful necklaces and bracelets.
Thanks!
July 19, 2015 @ 4:40 PM
i love this! my baby recently starting teething. this would be perfect!
July 19, 2015 @ 4:41 PM
my baby teethed at 4 months. I love all your necklaces!!
July 19, 2015 @ 8:02 PM
My daughter Charlotte is 5 months now and is starting to teeth like crazy. Every toy, blanket, thumb, toe has been put into her mouth. She lives chewing on whatever she can find!
July 19, 2015 @ 8:11 PM
My baby’s first tooth cut through when he turened 7 month. That was our big day and we were soooo exited!!!
