    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 have have not taken DS2 off from the day he got it around 4months....for all the reasons already mentioned. He still has it on almost 2yrs old.

    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.

    DD's hasn't come off since she started wearing it at 5 months. Not for sleeping, not for bathing/swimming. The around the ankle for sleeping thing seemed a bit pointless/a PITA to me - and there's no way it would have wrapped around enough times to stay on comfortably.

    eta - the only time it has come off was when the string broke. Funny, it was the amberbebe one that broke, but the ebay job we replaced it with is still going strong.

    DS's had his since around 3 months. I think it was around a month after that I just left it on while sleeping (used to put it around his ankle), was a bit paranoid for a week or so but that wore off

    I was a bit paranoid with DD1 at first and put it around her ankle for sleeping but soon gave up on that because it was annoying. So now they just both stay on. With DD2 if she's wearing a wondersuit to be I will just put it through the top button to keep it down ITMS.

    I got a set (necklace and bracelet) for DD when she was 5-6 months old and I was worried initially about leaving it on her. She was wrapped though for her naps right up until 13 months old and considering there was nothing in her cot I could not understand HOW she could get it into a "dangerous" type situation ... it was always tucked snuggly under her clothes and there was nothing for it to snare on.

    I believe people who sell these types of products put a warning on, JIC there is an accidental death therefore protecting their business etc .... when I had my little hair clip business going I decided to pop a warning on my hair clip cards to protect myself ITMS?

    You need to decide what you are comfortable with and go with that.

    I plan on getting another one for this little tummybunny when she pops and will probably have her in it from 3 months of age without taking off her.

    Just quickly.

    DD got hers at 10 months, and I wished i'd got it earlier. It's never ever been taken off. We love them.
