Nursing Braclet


This is my new favorite baby shower gift. I got the idea from Nanny Goat. It has the hours 1-12 and three beads between each number, representing fifteen minutes, you just move the clip to the time you last nursed. I think it is a cute idea! You can also use it to keep track of how many diapers your baby goes through a day or last time you gave them medicine, if they are sick. It was really easy to make just get memory wire, number beads, beads, a clip and charm. The hard thing for me to find was the number beads. I had to get them in Indianapolis (50 miles away). But you can probably find them online too, Alpha Beads makes them. All my supplies coast $12 and I was able to make four before I ran out of number 1 beads. You can also buy them on Ebay but they sell for $15-$20. Plus it's more fun to make your own.

Actually etsy is much cheaper. It's for handmade items. You set your price and it's only 20 cents per listing for three months.
