Amber necklace all the way!! Oskar was a great teether, so I never had any need for anything more than a bit of gel or panadol on the odd occasion, and I'm talking RARELY. Elijah, was a whole different story! Nightmare first 2 teeth. Got that necklace so fast after that and oh yeah, different little kiddy! I've had to use panadol about 2 or 3 times since and he's got 12 teeth now.
