Breast Feeding Reminder Pin
Safety Pins
Assorted Beads
Plastic Dummy
My friend was complaining about forgetting which was due for the next feed which done when Breastfeeding.
So I decided to make a little pin for her to wear.
I found the dummy trinkets at my craft store, but you could easily find flat back trinkets from scrapbooking shops which would work just as well.
Just thread the beads onto the pin, or for larger pins, thread the beads onto smaller safety pins and then thread those onto the larger pin.
Take a look at the different examples below.
These would make great gifts for new mums and could be pinned onto a handmade baby card.
Note: You can add whatever trinkets you can get your hands on. Please do not e-mail me asking me why there is a bottle if it is for Breastfeeding. It is a Reminder pin of which side to use next when breastfeeding. The pin itself does not represent Breastfeeding.

I had the same problem with my first born. I made a bracelet to switch from wrist to wrist to remind me who's turn it was, lol. It works as long as you remember to switch the bracelet/pin.
Such a cute idea! I am due with number 2 and will make myself one of these adorable reminder pin. Thanks!
Cute idea! I'm defiantly making one now that I'm having another baby. It'll sure be easier to look down and see which side I've already fed on last instead of "feeling up" a boobie (esp. in public) to see which side was last. He he!
So cute! What a great idea!
My daughter has the same problem, I plan to make these to also sell to the hospital gift shops. And, I have all the supplies already that I happened to come upon at a yard sale.
This is one of the most wonderful and thoughtful ideas I've seen here! My daughter will love this.
The pin itself does not represent Breastfeeding. People can put whatever they like on it, for goodness sake its only a reminder! People with tacky remarks should not visit craft sites to put critsice other peoples hard work!
I'm a nurse...sounds like a great idea and something "crafty" nurses could pass out to their patients....a great gift idea....who doesn't like jewelry !!!!
This is perfect for my cousins new babies'. One cousin is having a boy, and my other cousin is having 2 twin girls.
I like this idea! Quick, easy and practical
This is a lovely idea. Also if you can't find a plastic dummy you could make one out of beads!
Practical & pretty Idea; artane14- think before you type!
very cute!
why do people critisize these ideas?? I think that they're very creative, and a neat solution to a problem some mother's may have. I think people should only write POSITIVE comments on the comeboard, so feelings don't get hurt. Neat idea though
What a fantastic idea. As a new mum I would love somthing like this it is thoughtful unusual and v practical
WHICH 1 SHALL I USE ? LEFT OR RIGHT
BREASTFEEDING REMINDER PIN THATS A GOOD 1 LOL
Why do both of your Breastfeeding reminder pins have objects on them that mothers are not encouraged to use when breastfeeding?
