Today’s post is very special to me! I have been blogging for over a year now, and have only had a handful of cool opportunities like this, so I am super excited to share!

When I started breastfeeding Holden I discovered breastmilk jewelry due to frequently scrolling Instagram while camped out on the couch with a nursing babe attached to me. I instantly became obsessed. I’m not a huge jewelry person, but the thought of having a commemorative piece of jewelry marking this important season of my life seemed right up my alley. I knew I wanted a piece of breastmilk jewelry, but always put off purchasing one because of money and time (actually going to the post office to send my milk in never made it to the top of my priority list.)

Then I saw a call for bloggers from Precious Mammaries to do a breastmilk necklace review and jumped at the opportunity to apply. Low and behold – I was chosen! The process was simple- just send an ounce of breastmilk in a sealed plastic container via priority shipping to Precious Mammaries and your breastmilk keepsake piece will be sent back to you in no time. I am now the proud owner of my very own necklace made from my very own breastmilk.

I’m obsessed! It’s gorgeous and simple, plus it comes with a sweet little certificate with both of my boy’s names on it. Opening it brought tears to my eyes because of all that the necklace represents to me. The significance of breastfeeding in our lives, the bond we share because of it, the accomplishment that is 14 months of breastfeeding Holden, donating milk, breastfeeding through half of my second pregnancy, pumping at work, and going on 6 months of exclusive breastmilk for Waylon. This necklace represents hard work and sacrifice and the love I have for my babies. It may look like a regular piece of jewelry to everyone who sees it, but it stands as a reminder to me of what I now know I’m capable of.

Breastmilk jewelry is available in many forms: rings, bracelets, earrings. You can also get pieces made with ashes, locks of hair, or placenta. Even breastmilk soap, which is next on my list. Breastmilk is not only a magical super food, but is also amazing for treating various skin issues. If your baby has sensitive skin, cradle cap, or eczema you may want to try milk baths or breastmilk soap.

Since the holidays are just around the corner you can utilize my discount code themightymomma for 10% off of your purchase! Precious Mammaries pieces are hand made here in the United States, and is a small business run by a fellow mighty Momma, so supporting her is a plus when you purchase your own breastmilk (or placenta/ ashes/etc) jewelry. All jewelry is made from stainless steel, is hypoallergenic, and the turn around time is so fast. You won’t be kept waiting for your keepsake piece.

I am not sure how long my breastfeeding journey will last, or how many babies I will be feeding along the way, but I know that I will always be thankful to have such a special and beautiful keepsake to represent it all. When I am old and my children are grown, and my breastfeeding days are long behind me, I know I will still cherish this necklace and will hopefully have a daughter to pass it on to.
