Rattles Baby
When was the first baby rattle used?
Or can you give me any information about the development of the baby rattle through time, or any websites that give this information?
According to sources, the rattle is closely associated
with the baby pacifier as their background in history
coincides with each other….
The exact history cannot be dated for the rattle as there
is evidence that it was even used by primitive man in
rituals and ceremonies … it’s possible that the rattle was
handed down to babies and small children as a means
not only to pacify them and to keep them amused,
but as a way to ward off evil spirits:
a baby pacifier could also be used for the same purpose…
” Coral was one of the most effective materials thought
to protect children from spirits as well as witchcraft,
enchantment, and epilepsy. Coral necklaces were given
to babies at birth for this reason. (In some cultures a coral
necklace is still an appropriate baby gift.) It did not take
long to combine the coral and rattling bells into a single
baby toy that was often referred to as coral and bells.
These devices had a branch of coral at one end and a metal
shank with bells attached at the other end. The coral was
sucked on, and being fairly soft and knobby, could soothe
the baby and rub against sore gums as the bells sounded
and warded off evil spirits. Fairly expensive coral and bells
were generally crafted by silver or goldsmiths and offered for
sale in the Colonies by 1700. Sticks of cane sugar or candy
were given to babies to suck upon as well. Less expensive
rattles used for sucking included gum sticks of wood with
small vegetable gourds or wicker or willow rattles that could
be put into the mouth. ”
