Chewable necklace for toddlers

[daisylola11]

So after doing some reading and being frustrated with my 2.5 year olds obsession of having his fingers/toys in his mouth I'm thinking of getting one of these chewable necklaces.

His fingers get so raw and peel and he just keeps biting until they crack! He use to have a pacifier but was done with it shortly before turning two.

I even tried the gross tasting nail polish to get him to stop but that hasn't really worked as well. He only does this when sitting anywhere if he's playing and active it's no problem. It's watching a show, being in the stroller or car seat.

Anyone have experience like this? Wondering if it's worth ordering/trying it

I know someone who found it really useful for their school aged child. But the first thing they ordered ended up being huge....so maybe just investigate actual size before ordering?

A company called Ark makes chewable necklaces. My 5 year old is a chewer because of school stress.

I bought him one but it says 5+. They might have some for younger kids. It's helped him to stop ruining his shirts by chewing them.

I'd be nervous about a 2.5 year-old in a necklace.

I bought some spiky, slap-bracelet type things for my 4 year-old because he wouldn't stop picking at his face. I searched on amazon "fidget bracelet."

They have the snap so it just comes off if pulled on really, but I think I wouldn't leave it on him when he's playing, mostly when he's sitting, in the car or at home

You can also get chewelery that clips on their shirt like a pacifier clip and then the chain is chewable and it has a chew toy at the end too.

Oh that's a good idea I have seen those too, thanks for the suggestion
