Yeah we have it around their necks all the time. They're not very long, so I'm not worried about them catching on anything. If you're not comfortable with the idea though, then obviously don't do it.

Hey Maz
Sorry to hijack but
can you tell me how you use them for migranes and which type did you get
these damm migranes are driving me crazy!!
So I want to buy one for Jazz... what if she pulls on it? Will it break? And do the beads really stay on if it breaks? Is it ok to wear 24/7? Its the pain at night that I rally need it for! Are bracelets less effective?
Which ones do you recommend?
Leash...Jack has pulled on his accidently a couple of times and (the one I have) just pops off without breaking, you have to make sure it has a special "baby proof" clasp...it just comes undone instead of breaking. The beads are also individually knotted on so that if the necklace does happen to break only one bead will come off, and they not big enough to choke one.
The website recommends not wearing to bed, because of course anything around the neck is a strangulation risk...but I leave Jack's on 24/7..I am ok with that because it is not long enough to really get tangled, plus I know if there is any pressure (gets twisted etc) the clasp will just pop undone...of course that is a personal decision that every parent has to make for themselves.
ETA: Just wanted to add....if you get a bracelet, there is more chance that Jazz will play with it and pull on it as it is easier to see and get to.
I ended up going for the necklace because as Marlene said it's more likely to be played with, which Juliette has done with her Christening presents. The one I got has a screw clasp, but it says it will pop open if there's pressure applied, which I will be checking before I put it on Juliette for sure. There are other ones too that have a magnetic clasp if you'd prefer that.
Hoping mine arrives today.....
I was just wondering if the beads would be easy to get? I am thinking I might just make one.

I reccomend sunshine and lollipops. Sarah is lovely. She gets hers from Inspiredbyfinn, which is where I got mine from :) If you need links let me know. I got 2 from inspiredbyfinn and they were cheap! Including post it was $35ish. Aussie $.
I have chips because I thought they looked better for a boy :) Each chip is tied on individually, so if the necklace breaks it will not go everywhere and cause choking risk.
The clasp on the ones I mentioned above is a plastic screw one so if they pull it doesn't break. The boys have one too and they have yanked them and all and are yet to break them so I don't think Jazzy will break one, Ash certainly can't.
He wears his 24/7. He doesn't even notice it's there. I have never seen him play or touch it and it doesn't bother him.
Can't tell you if the bracelets are any different.
I so reccomend getting one hun!
Can someone send me a link to purchase a good one...
The beads are SO hard to get hold of! I spent such a long time looking for them but most genuine places will only sell to people holding a ABN, which just plain sucks! I got hold of some though :) but not much of a variety, but Im working on it.:

Id highly suggest a magentic clasp than any other one, the plastic screw ones are claimed to break, but in my experience with them, they dont.
You really need to do your research with these too, especially since you are talking about babies here. I know I have, but then I am setting up a business to sell them and I dont want to sell anything that can pose any risk to any body. I know I wouldnt sell anything for a baby with the screw clasps.
My DD was wearing a screw clasp one and it did get caught on something and it didnt come undone and it didnt break. I took it off her and pulled a lot to see if there was any chance it would break, and it didnt. So i restrung it and am happy with the magentic clasp.
Baltic Amber is the best thing ever!
I recommend sunshine and lollipops as well- I got mine from there very easily.
It does have a screw clasp, but he's had it on for several months with no problems. I would have probably preferred a magnetic clasp, but couldn't find one. I initially had a chip one, but I found it irritated his skin, so I got beads instead. He looks like a little surfer dude. Its very cool, and definately helps.
