As mrsmac said, we have one for Sam - he cut his first two teeth simultaneously during church one morning and the only clue we'd had that he was even teething at all was that he'd been off his food for the previous week. Didn't figure it out until later, though. He has had grizzles and pain when his teeth move around, but it appears that Sam takes after his mother and has a shocking time with teething, so anything that helps is good in my book.
What mrsmac didn't tell you is that I also wear one myself. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and figure that anything that's meant to help pain and inflammation is bound to help... I can tell you in absolute and definite certainty that they DO work, and damned well at that. Mine arrived when I was in the middle of a bad flare and I was experiencing pain relief within an hour of putting it on. I don't take mine off now - ever.
I have been wondering about these, too...I hadn't heard of them until recently. Is there a high risk of strangulation? That would be my main concern - having something constantly around bub's neck....
Kim my name is Kirstie and i was in your belly buddies group last year (recently changed my user name), i just wanted to say that i've just gotten a teething necklace for DS2 also and although i can't swear by it as yet (no teeth so far) i'm looking forward to seeing the effect it will have. It's reassuring to hear what the girls have said about them. I got my necklace from sunshine 'n' lollipops for $27 inc postage. There are a lot out there to choose from once you look and it can get quite confusing.
I put it on DS when i recieved it and haven't taken it off since.
Becs_bubs there are some out there that have a magnetic clasp so if caught will come off without any accidents happening.
Good luck with finding one and hopefully it'll help your little man with his gums.
