Every mother knows that teething children will stick just about anything in their mouths, so it’s only fitting that moms came up with a stylish solution — for themselves and their tykes.

More and more mom-owned companies are creating child-friendly jewelry that babies can suck or teeth on safely.

“It’s pretty cool,” says Chandra Turner, executive editor of Parents magazine. “It’s getting a lot of buzz on the mommy blogs. My son actually pulled my entire necklace off and all the little beads scurried along the floor. This is a nice alternative.”

• Amy Maurer of Silver Spring, Md., partnered with fellow mom Kendra LaDuca and created Smart Mom in 2002. It took them four years of product testing and development before they put their silicone pieces on the market.

“We did everything ourselves. We were two stay-at-moms looking for an idea,” Maurer says. “We really wanted it to look like real gemstone. We didn’t want it to look like you were wearing a teething ring around your neck.”

But Christina Vercelletto, senior editor of Parenting magazine, warns that jewelry that encourages babies to teeth might serve as a green light that all of mom’s accessories are for sucking.

“It could start a habit that is hard to break,” she says, adding the child-friendly pieces are safe. “If it saves your sanity … this is something that you might want to look into.”

•Becky Durham, co-owner of the jewelry company Sonny and Reed, says the beads on her company’s chewable jewelry is made with extra nubs for teething. They’re enlarged to make sure they’re not a choking hazard.

• Another company, Dr. Bloom’s Chewable Jewels, boasts various styles of translucent pendant necklaces, bracelets and key chains made from silicone approved by the FDA. All pigments used for the colors are also FDA-approved and include emerald and topaz.

• Then there’s Oh Plah!, which was launched with a cuff bracelet made of medical grade, antimicrobial thermal plastic. It comes in six colors, from deep purple to green, and is priced at $19.99.
