Hi,
My DD has an amber necklace, I have had a few comments from people in regards to safety (?choking?) I know the supplier recommended removing them for sleeping but otherwise do you think they are safe? Also, for those with any experiences, did you find they helped with teething?
I've never got around to getting one, but I've heard great things about them. I've also heard that pharmacies in some European countries stock them, and they're a recognised teething pain relief there.
The ones I've seen have had each bead individually strung (ie, a knot between each one), so if the necklace broke, they'd only get one bead...I don't know, the beads don't seem big enough to be a choking problem to me...
As Nelle said the necklaces that are especially made for babies are knotted between each bead and have safety clasp that will come undone when force is applied to the necklace, which will help stop it from breaking.
I would DEFINANTLY remove it when baby is in bed or when unsupervised (playing in cot alone etc..), babies should never be left unsupervised or asleep with anything around their neck.
Please let us know how it goes, I am interested in getting one for my DS.
We have been using a amber neckalce since DS was about 3 months! I really belive they work! If we forget to put it on he is a totally different baby! We had a few nights of pain with teeth, but he doesnt wear it to bed so I think this is why!
Will definately be getting them for furture children! Plus they look so cute!
a few of the online nappy shops sell them. I got mine from darlings downunder, but have seen them on other ones.
I've had one on Pip for a few months now, and I'm a bad mother, I leave it on 24/7. As discussed, it is knotted between each bead. We haven't had any bad teething times this set of teeth - the canines have all been coming out and moving around (the first of them broke through today!)
