Amber teething necklaces and sleeping.

There are a couple of warning websites about this - one from the Office of Fair Trading, and another site, saying there are fake amber necklaces.

I only take DS's off for baths as I don't want the thread to weaken. If I remember to put it on again in the mayhem that is getting dressed for bed in our house, then he wears it to bed!

ETA - Coke!!!! Maybe say to her 'they only get one stomach!'

Well I decided to leave it on, and for night sleeps loop it through her first press stud on her suits (THANKYOU to whoever suggested that, genius!). I probably won't even worry about that soon, but seeing as she's going 7-10 hours overnight atm I just want to be sure she's cool with it. I bought one for myself too, I love it.

Thankyou sooooo much for your feedback ladies, it's what I needed to hear :)

Yup we did that too when DS2 was little! :hug:

The office of Fair trading have been cracking down on alternate methods for teething relief...I am guessing the companies that own Panadal and nuerofen maye be seeing a decline in theirs sales so kicked up a stink lol

We bought ours from Amberbebe which come with a authenticity certificate but mumma rocks is great too!

Yeah I bought ours from Amberbebe too :)

Lucinda has been wearing hers from around 4-6 weeks. It never comes off her.

PZ- didnt mean to upset you if I did at all on your FB..

Was just giving my opinion. I must admit Im extremely paranoid myself about necklaces and hate wearing them myself in my sleep, makes me feel strangled (but again thats my issue due to a past incident) which also impacted on my decision to take off at night and naps.

I do how ever think that the stud snap idea is fantastic.

Glad you are happy with your decision

I have asked people that use them and people that sell them and generally they are left on..

:rofl: Excellent comeback!

Thanks for this thread PZ, I've been wondering the same thing. Although ours didn't arrive in today's post, I have to wait all weekend :( I got/am getting mine from a site called Whiskers on Kittens. They have the authenticity thing too, and five tests you can do to confirm it's real amber.

No way Ness!! That's why I said in my OP, one person I wouldn't rake advice from and one BB lady I would (you) :) I love the stud idea too!

I would say PZ there are some not so good supposedly amber necklaces that do pose a hazard - that is why fair trading have that advice. The one I have been given as a gift has a good screw clasp, it is knotted, appears to be genuine on the website - but I don't think it is a genuine one.
