What do you think of Amber Teething necklaces?

Hi All
Just after some opinions on amber teething necklaces? Do they work, do you like them, and if so where do I buy one?
DD is teething at the moment and very unhappy, and am wanting somethin natural to relieve her discomfort.
Thanks :)

we have one for DD2 and have found it to be what we wanted. she has 5 teeth now and not once has she seemed bothered/swollen etc etc. whereas DD1 would down panadol or bonjela, we just havent had to use it or even think of it.

i got hers from an independent baby store near my place (was $35)

i swear by them- DS2 has gotten through teething without a mumble with his teething necklace on. I actually notice it when i take it off rather than when he has it on. It is also ace to help with nappy rash and that dribble rash they get around their mouths.

Love love love them. Miss 3 has gotten a mouth full of teeth with no medicinal pain relief at all & has been wearing one since she was around 4 months old. I understand she might just be an easy teether but I didn't want to take the risk & remove her necklace. Plus she loves it so that's a bonus ;)

I think they're very pretty....but they didn't do anything to help with teething here. HTH.

My DD2 has been wearing one since 4 months old & teething has been no probs at all. We only take it off for bath/swimming. Got ours from bambeado :)

I reckon you should give them a go, what's the harm really! I have heard for some babies they work and others they don't so I guess you won't know until you try!

I got mine on eBay. Just check out the listings and feedback and see which one you feel most comfortable with as most of the sellers have authenticity tags that come with them (to be 100% it's genuine amber).

Good luck & I hope it works for your bub!

I think they work hun. DS has been wearing one since about 7 months old (late teether) but he's been hardly needing panadol/nurofen with it on and he's currently getting his big molars. I got mine from amberbabe. I only take it off for bath & swimming.

Love them! Dd just got her first 2 teeth and it was nowhere near as bad as I expected. I got it from Mumma Rocks! Baby safe products for the modern mum.

i have used one for ds3 and ds4 ds3 wore his from 4months till 18months 24/7 till i had to take it off for preschool and he never had panadol/bonjella it worked wonders with him
ds4 has been wearing his since 4months (1 next week) and has cut 5 teeth and hasnt had panadol/bonjella yet

Would love to think that they worked, but can't say I found it much help with DS.

Ds has been wearing one since about 5 months, cut 10 teeth (including two molars) and we haven't had any issues, no pain relief etc

As sarah said, he might be an easy teether but I'm not willing to risk taking it off

I used one for DS and will for this bub too.
He had his on from birth until 13months (when he already had 20 teeth) He didn't have a single tooth until 9months either and our lives were never significantly interrupted.
However saying that i had never heard of them when DD was small and she went through a patch when she got 11 teeth in a fortnight and I :redface: never even noticed.

They look better than they function, as far as I am concerned!.... mind you every child is different ;)

Just put ours back on him again as 2nd year molars are rearing their ugly heads. Got mine from amberbebe. When you go ontotheir website they list all their suppliers so hopefully there would be one near you. Even if they don't work they don't do any harm and look pretty cool too IMHO.

Well I got DDs after she got about 10 teeth in a couple of months - think I missed the boat with that one!! She since has had four molars come through with no problems, but she was older so I'm not sure whether she coped better because if age or the necklace. She's over two now and still wears it, is very proud of it although kids at playgroup love to grab and pull it so just be a bit careful with that. So yeah I'm not sure whether it did anything BUT I will get one for the new baby before his/ her teeth come through, can't hurt and might help!

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!!!! DD2 had 16 teeth by her first birthday and never had any medication to help with pain because she didnt need it!! And she's never been a dribbler either, i didnt realise the necklace helped with that! thanks nickle
