Who is using an amber teething necklace?

[ruby412]

V is still working on all 4 of her top teeth and a couple people IRL recommended getting one.

I heard raw and light colored is the best... so I'm thinking this one?

Which one did you get and do you like it?

[TrudyCampbell]

They are quite popular in Park Slope!

Does V have one??

[TrudyCampbell]

We don't have one but I'd get one if I was desperate. They sell them everywhere. I think Dorothy uses one?

[katfco]

We have one that looks similar to that, but I have no idea what brand it was. We just picked it up at one of those granola-mom baby stores. I like it. We have it wrapped around his ankle because I just don't like the idea of anything being wrapped around his neck. I think it helps. At least, the few nights he hasn't worn it, he's been really restless.

We have one and love it. I didn't notice for a while she was cutting four at once.

[ruby412]

Do you guys leave it on all the time? Do you take it off for sleeping? I feel like I'd be nervous letting her sleep in a necklace. What length did you get?

[TrudyCampbell]

I've seen people put it around their ankle.

E wears one, and it honestly seems to help. He never pulls on the necklace or acts like him even knows it's on. Daycare won't let him wear it, but when he's not there he wears it. I take it off for bath and lotion, but that's it. He also sleeps in it.

I ordered from a small shop that one of DH's fraternity brothers wife owns. I got the one she recommended. I will look up the website and link in a separate post.

My 4 year old wears one. It was meant for the baby but DS1 claimed it.  It's a real fashion statement for him and everyone asks him about it.

Star! I totally thought about you tonight! We watched the tsunami movie and the family had a blonde mom, sons and they were vacationing in Thailand. I think the British accents helped too... yes, I know British and Australian accents are different, but still.

Ok , I'm dumb and can't figure out how to lunk on my tablet...

The website is WWW.momsmilkboutique.com and under the Baltic amber jewelry section, I ordered the butterscotch necklace.

That looks similar with the light coloring. I think yours is polished and I might go with raw. I'm glad the babies don't mind them being on. I feel like she is going to be obsessed with pulling on it.
 
Also, lol at "lunk"!

Oh yeah!  I watched that on the plane going TO Thailand.  Wise move eh!  That's Naomi Watts, and she's an aussie so you're not far off

Laney does! It's from Inspired by Finn- I feel that it does help. Her's is mostly light with some brown beads. I'm sure there's a picture on FB that you can see it in

[EmmieB1025]

And, I can't spell on this thing either...or maybe it's the wine...

Yes, I've seen Laney's! Hers is really cute. Did you go with the regular sized beads or the smaller beads?

I don't remember an option for bead size... But it was labeled as an infant necklace so maybe there's only one size for that?

Hmm, not sure. I'm guessing you have a regular sized one.

That's a pretty one! We just got one today actually. I don't know if I believe in the hippy crap (said by a half hippie) but why the f not - I am Russian and love amber, it's beautiful... although more people will probably think that Max is a girl now  If it actually works for teething - then sweet, bonus points  

At the baby store I went to today (where I also got a new carrier, yay!) they recommended an 11" necklace. It is snug enough that he doesn't even know it's on (but has some room so that hes not choking) and won't snag on anything. I threw away the tag and can't find this specific one online but it has polished amber stones and is light at the back and gets darker towards the front (like an ombre effect) and is almost a dark brown in the front - it's pretty!

I love Naomi Watts. Can't bear to watch that movie though

 I'll let you know if he is less fussy w/ teething!  

[teamhayes]

We use one and keep it on all the time. He wears it on hos neck. People always comment on it.

[jaime183]

we used it for awhile. I used it on his ankle because I thought it looked girly.
Now we have a hazelwood-amber one for his eczema... it looks more surfer like so he wears it on his neck. It has amber beads for teething but mostly is for his face.
We take it off at night even though I know you don't need to.

i'm sure he will be fine. they tell you to leave it on because it needs to be against the skin

Yeah, I can't see how he would choke since its so snug but not too snug :/

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Butterbaby has one; I got it at a drug store here. I can't tell you if it really helps or not, but I am not about to take it off to find out!

[nls0412]

I got one for Gavin. And maybe one for myself as well. I got him the 12 inch one from hazelaid and once I got it on him, he quickly forgot it was even there and hasn't touched it since. I think it helps and since he's been wearing it the rough red patches on his cheeks have cleared up as well. I love it.
