I have amber on both my boys aged almost 3 and 10 months, never had any comments although my 10mo does get mistaken for a girl quite often - but he is rather pretty looking and only ever in a nappy and singlet so yer maybe a bit hard to tell and ppl might assume because of the necklace. Maybe because their 6ft 3 daddy also wears adult amber they don't comment negatively HAHA i dare them to have a go at him. Just state the facts, you have a baby boy is getting the best natural start in life minus chemical filled teething gels and other nasty pharmcueticals pfft to them!
