    Question How long does it take for amber to help with drooling?

    My 6 month DS has two bottom teeth which he never seemed to have any issues (pre-amber) with except that he dribbles like crazy.

    I bought an amber anklet for him and he has been wearing it almost constantly for over two weeks now but I have not seen any change. I have read in other places that some babies respond within a couple of days.

    I am now wondering whether the anklet is just not enough amber or whether it is not effective for everyone?

    Can anyone shed any light on how long is long enough to give the amber time to help reduce dribbling?

    What type of amber did you buy?
    I would also probably buy a necklace if the ankle isn't working.

    I didn't realise it did anything for dribbling - thought it just had an analgesic effect.

    It is Baltic Amber from a company that was recommended to me by Essential Moves (Baby Sensory) and two Mums I have met.

    I know it is an analgesic as the main purpose but lots of feedback on websites & Mummy's I have spoken to say that it helps to cut dribbling by at least half if not more. I was hoping it would help us as DS is a fabulous dribbler!

    I just found this on the site I bought it from....

    Amber reduces red inflamed cheeks and stimulates the thyroid glands to reduce drooling.

    I've had one on DS for about a week now and i have seen a slight reduction in dribbling, i actually went bib-less today where normally i go through 4-5 bibs a day (not including ones for meals!). At around 5pm though he all of a sudden completely soaked his top with drool, so not sure what that was all about, seems to work some times but not others?

    Try a necklace and see if it works, but its effects on individuals will be different, and may not be strong enough to help your DS.
    Also, look up the cleansing rituals for Baltic Amber, it may need to be cleaned and charged.

    we've had an amber necklace here for about 10 months & i haven't noticed any change in DS' dribbling. i'm not entirely sure it's helped a great deal with his teeth either - his first ones were fine but the molars & eye teeth were pretty bad.
