HeartString Baby's CompanionTM is a versatile accessory used by breastfeeding moms and infant caregivers. Initially conceived to be a purposeful distraction while breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or holding a baby, the HeartString Companion has also been designed to support bonding, ease caregiver transfers and include a male figure. With the infant in mind, the HeartString Companion is safe, non-toxic and unbreakable, acting as a tactile and visual aid to soothe baby and to encourage cognitive development.
Function...
- Helps keep nursing baby's attention at the breast, specifically in social or public settings.
- Wonderful for baby-carrying parents (Dad too) out for a stroll.
- The pendant’s form with its dips, thumbprint and embossed dot are designed to be soothing, stimulating and to become familiar to the touch.
- Helps with transfer of infant from Mom to Dad or other caregiver. (example: 3am feeding and tired Mom passes fussing baby to Dad. HeartString feels like Mom)
- HeartString Baby's Companion supports and encourages breastfeeding and provides an alternative to nursing covers (focus aid). LOVE, comes from the parents :)
Safe...
Much care was taken in selecting non-toxic, medical-grade polymer plastics with suitable textures. The pendant is also durable, pliable, dishwasher safe and can be sterilized a number of times. They do NOT contain BPA, Phalates, PVC, Lead or Latex. HeartString has two interesting textures and fun colour contrasts and are more environmentally friendly than many other products. Silicone is not used to assure more detail, a rigid core (cannot bend to get lodged in mouth) and a pliable smooth outer shape.
The organic cotton lanyard is also non-toxic, washable and soft to the baby’s touch. Cotton, with low tendency to cause allergic reactions, allows caregivers to sleep while wearing the pendant and baby's to be safe from dyes and colour processing chemicals.
Though the product is designed to fit adults and to attach like a necklace, it will also detach by use of specialized safety connectors in the unlikely event that a child becomes tangled or pulls sharply. This measured safety feature may also widen the market to children with specials needs.
Since the HeartString products are developed for infant use, strict quality control is used and extensively researched for FDA approved, North American made and socially responsible materials. ASTM standards are followed and the product has passed the new CPSIA 3rd party testing for small parts.
HeartString Baby's Companion provides a breastfeeding and parenting aid that is a safe, effective and fashionable alternative to jewelry, "made-in-China" pacifiers, traditional teethers, those dirty car keys, grandma's glasses, and other items potentially harmful to your child.
