Has anyone used these and were they helpful?
They seem to be quite "fashionable" at the moment, and I'm just wondering if they really make a difference. |

I was given one for my baby by a friend who bought 1 (get 1 free) off the internet. The Baltic Amber beads are a homeopathic remedy so its one of those grey areas when it comes to pain relief. Apparently people having been using amber for centuries?
Jaye got his first four teeth (all at once!) without a fuss. Its a different story with the two that are coming down now but he's still pretty good. Can't really put it down to the necklace though. He wears his necklace every day because I will give anything a go, its natural, and it also looks pretty cute! -------------

I have one and DS has just cut his first two teeth, I didn't notice them really, he has fussy days, but I think babies have fussy days.
He always has bright bright red cheeks, so people think he is teething, but he is perfectly happy. I don't take the necklace off - I have no idea if it works or not, but so far comparing in my ante natal group those wearing them against those not, those who do seem to be getting up for more random screaming. -------------

DS has worn one since he was 3 months.
I have definitely noticed a decrease in dribbling and random grizzlings. I take it off at night, maybe I will start to leave it on and see if he sleeps better. -------------

I used to have one and noticed no difference at all, it broke after about three weeks and I didn't bother buying a replacement, didn't seem worth it to me. A lot of people seem to have more luck with them than we did though! Lauren's generally very happy, and seems to have a high pain/tolerance threshold, so maybe thats why it didn't seem to help. ------------- ~Cassie~

Issy's definately works .. we lost it at one stage and she was a demon! We ended up buying another one. Thankfully we also found the first, so we now always have a spare on hand lol.

You have to make sure you get the genuine stuff.
There is a test that you can put the amber through. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Shellandbella, there are tons on trademe.
Jezsika apparently the lighter ones contain more succinic acid. I don't know if that makes them more effective though, maybe a little bit. -------------

I got mine from trademe - for $24.50 and its awesome!
After having 3-4 bad nights of Lily waking up 3-4 times a night with her first tooth - her second came through with no problems - just red cheeks! I only used bonjela once with her 2nd tooth! She doesn't dribble and I'm hoping that the necklace works just as well for the rest of her teeth! She wears it 24/7! I totally recommend them! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD#1 Sept 08 DD#2 Oct 09 |

The clasp is designed to pop apart if the necklace is pulled tight -------------

^^ thats good to know. Cause I would worry about leaving it on at night.
DD was fine when teething, she only really went off eating but wasn't grizzly or anything. Hoping for the same this time. How do you know you're getting the real thing if you purchase from Trademe? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have been doing some research. There is a trader called Stefi which has them on Trademe.
The lighter colour ie lemon one has more of the acid so should work better than the darker ones. When you get it heat up a pin & press this into it, should let off a woody smell. Wiki pedia has it all on there if you google Baltic Amber. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

On reading this conversation, I have ordered some amber teething beads frm steffi on TM. My youngest has terrible teething rash on cheeks and chest and NOTHING helps to ease it. I will take before and hopefully some impressive after photos and post (when I learn how!)
Would be interested to know how long before they are effective from anyone who has used them with good results

Miss L has been wearing her honey coloured amber necklace since she was 12 weeks. Her first tooth appeared a couple of weeks ago and we didn't even realise!
She has had very unsettled nights the last few weeks, but I always take her necklace off before bed. After reading this thread I'm going to keep it on and see if that helps. We don't use bonjela. Her cheeks sometimes redden and she is a lil bit dribbly but no apparent pain when she has it on. I highly recommend them  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Do you leave them on for day sleeps? I bought one for Lydia but am unsure about leaving it on when she sleeps, given that the instructions say not to... bought it from the TM person recommended on the previous page. |

I was also a bit worried about leaving a necklace on a baby overnight especially as my girl is such a wriggly, grabby eel, so I got her an anklet. Problem solved. She wears it 24/7 and I swear by it. I got mine from this woman http://chookmook.co.nz/ - http://chookmook.co.nz and have since brought 3 others for friends. |

yep I leave it on for day sleeps, as they're only 45min long if that!!
But will also try it overnight as she doesn't wriggle around at all, and we co-sleep. I've seen those anklets, wondered whether they'd work just the same. May get one of those too! Double the pain relief  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Amber is a natural anti inflammatory, it releases traces of succinic acid ( found in amber from the baltic region ) which is absorbed through the skin. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

| It works. I was even surprised with the way it worked. Though some people later told me it depends on where it is bought. I got mine from https://www.balticessentials.com/" rel="nofollow - https://www.balticessentials.com/ and it really worked like magic |
