Amber teething necklaces
Hi, has anyone used these for teething relief? I bought one which arrived yesterday and Hugo has been wearing it ever since and I'm just wondering how long it takes to start working? We have an added complication in that Hugo has a nasty cold and temperature at the moment which seems to be making everything worse.
If anyone has used the necklace, can you let me know how you got on and whether it worked for you.
Thanks

ps if you don't know what I'm talking about, here is a link with info. Clearly I'm not endorsing the product or the seller as I don't know if it works yet!!

I think I read that they take a couple of weeks to start working and thats with continuous wear as it takes that long for the amber to get into LO's system?? - Might have dreamt it though!

its definalty worth trying but make sure you get pure amber
Sorry to hijack your post peeptoe x
- make sure it's Baltic Amber
- avoid the chip style beads as these can dig into the skin and be uncomfortable
- check that there are knots between each bead (so if it breaks only one bead comes off
- check necklace will break if pulled too hard/has magnetic clasp
- don't let baby sleep in it for safety reason (can always double it over and put on their ankle under sleepsuit)
- advised to take off in bath as soap etc can adhere to the beads and reduce their efficacy
hope that helps

I kept it on him overnight as I figured that that is the time he needs help the most and he wore it in the birth as we don't use soap. He hasn't noticed he's even wearing it.
So I have to say, while I'm not totally convinced, he does seem a bit better today. Will keep it on for a week or so and see how he goes.
Mybutler, I got mine from an internet company so you should have no trouble finding one. Having googled it, they seem quite popular in the states and Europe.

I don't normally go in for this type of 'voodoo' but I actually think this is doing something!
