What do you think of Amber Teething necklaces?

[sneakysparkle]

DD2 has been wearing hers for months. She has just cut her first two teeth and has been a bit grizzly but hasn't needed any Panadol or Bonjela. Like the others said, who knows if it works, it can't hurt! I never take DD's off, she wears it in the bath and the shower.

Someone mentioned nappy and dribble rash, I hadn't considered that. DD2 has the most amazing skin, people actually comment on it. Never had nappy rash, dribble rash or cradle cap. Maybe the necklace??

If nothing else, they are a great conversation starter... everywhere I go I end up telling people about them. My story goes like this, "It is pretty, it's actually an amber teething necklace. It's fossilized tree sap from a Lithuaniun pine tree. I'm quite sure it was harvested at midnight, by a flaxen haired virgin. It secretes an oil into her skin which is supposed to act as a natural analgesic and reduce excess salivation." At this point people look at me like I'm a surprising weed smokin', incense burnin', hemp wearin' hippie!!

love it!

JJ has been wearing his since he started teething and he is nearly 3! I can't take it off him, he looks so cute and we are so used to seeing it on him for so long! It's really hard to say whether it helps or not, because you don't know what they would have been like teething without it but I don't remember using bonjela with him at all and no sleepless nights etc. Whether it helped or not I don't know but I do know that he didn't seem to be bothered about them coming through and at one point he cut 4 at once! I think they are worth the investment!

I just bought one today so hoping it works for my DD as she's been having a bit of a rough time. Her gums are swollen and cheeks bright red (she looks like the vegemite kid) and has a nappy rash that comes and goes. Is it necessary that I take it off for swimming and baths or can I leave it on 24/7?

[Beach Mama]

Some people take them off for naps, baths etc. but we have always left it on 24/7 without any hassles.

I swear by ours! Both my sons have had no problem with teething whatsoever! But we do co sleep and feed on demand so I believe that also soothes babies when teething. But I am not taking them off the boys as I really do believe they have helped.
what harm can it be to try Oh and we leave them on the boys even for sleeping.

We do the same as Tan, it stays on 24/7. That said we bought ours on ebay & after two years we had a bead crack in half when little miss bit into it, so they might become a bit brittle from the water (and it was a cheap-ish one). We just bought another & it's been going strong now.

yeah have to say that i have never taken DD2s off...

I get comments all the time on how cute it looks & where did I get the necklace from. People are always interested. So apart from working it looks so darn cute.

DS2 has been wearing his 24/7 since about 4 months, I can't say it's made a difference as he didn't have teeth prior to wearing it but I can't remember buying a tube of teething gel yet!! and DS1 was a shocker, teething gel all the time. Also he's never dribbled heaps or had a rash on bottome or cheeks...but that could just be the way he is teething but I'm not taking it off to find out.

I'm now buying my second. Can't speak highly enough of them.

I also bought mine from amberbebe. Very good quality.

I got one for DD3 and she wor it for about a week when i couldnt find it and the I forgot about it. She has cut 4 teeth during that time and its been a nightmare, so I found it and have popped it back on. I'll l;et you know if it helps!

DS has never had one and we only used Panadol for his first two teeth (that came through at once at 4 months). I looked into it at one stage, but since teeth haven't really ever bothered him, there's been no need. I think, if you like the look of them, buy them for that reason, and if they work for teething, it's a bonus! As a pp said, you'll never really know if they teethe well if it's nature or the necklace, but, who cares?!
BTW, a lot of people have said to me, "I'm glad he doesn't wear one of those awful teething necklaces like a lot of babies do these days" - lol! Obviously they have no manners, but just wanted to say that not everyone thinks they're cute!

thanks for all your replies, it's great, I have had a look at the sites mentioned on here and I reckon for the sake of $40 or so I will give it a go, can't hurt and if it works then great .
Thanks again for taking the time to reply, I'll let you know how it goes

it didn't really do anything much for our DS but i definitely think it was worth a shot.

he wore his from about 5 months i think & we only took it off for swimming. it was a real conversation started though - so many people commented on it.

I have recently just got one for DD2. Last night was her 2nd night of wearing it and I finally got baby that slept for 10.5hrs!!! She has barely slept for the last 2 weeks, screamed all day/night. She is even back a sleep now. I don't know if it was the necklace or not.... Guess I will see over the next few nights but I would like to think so after spending $30.

Zee: we definitely noticed a connection with our chilled out bubba. she was alot more tense and generally unsettled when she didnt have it on. in the end we havent removed since that first week of trying it on!

[Zee]

Yes I def won't be removing DD's anytime soon, it's so good to see a smiling playfull bubba today.... It's been a while
