    I used one with DD and she always wore it. The few times it did come off I just found it in her clothes.

    It was just a little pompous, wasn't it? Sure it's not Tara Brown in disguise??

    I did think about this but then went "what the hell, that's why I have a monitor." We got onto this late, DD started at 14 months. DH actually got her up from her sleep this week and it had come off, she does like to chew on it atm. But no biggie, he just put it back on her.

    I don't even take them off for swimming sessions - on anecdotal assurance that it didn't harm the beads.

    I'm not worried about the chlorine damaging the beads - more the thread that it's on - if that makes sense

    I tend to leave it on DS (can't remember when he started wearing his) and I had to take it off when he was in the baby room at CC - they were worried about it; if I didn't take it off they would during the day. Now DS's in the toddler room it stays on (except for swimming and bath time). Mind you we're on our 3rd necklace - the first one broke at CC in the baby room even though it was individually knotted I think I lost a couple and the second one has a magnetic clasp - DS kept pulling it off. Th current one is one amber bead short now near the clasp as DS decided to chew on it while we were in driving around Qld last holidays - thought he was going to sleep but no he was chewing away at his beads . Now we keep more of an eye out for that (have a baby rear view mirror in our cars - didn't in the hire car we had) and remove it from his mouth when he starts that now. I think he was also bored at the time as we'd been in the car driving a lot

    I never took Nate's off either. Seemed pointless to build up the loading dose of the pain relief then take it off so it had to build up again. He started taking it off on his own at 14months but he already had 20 teeth then so I just left it off.

    DS got his at about 4 months. I used to put it on his ankle when he went to sleep, for maybe the first month then just left it on his neck. It doesn't even come off for baths. Like Skybie said, I think DS would look funny with out it now

    But it's really up to you what you feel comfortable with.
