The clasp is made so that if the baby gets the necklace caught on something and falls, the clasp will pop open (break) and prevent strangulation. All the moms I know who use that one that I bought say their LO will pull on it but not hard enough to trigger the clasp to break.<br /> I'm more concerned about it being a total waste of money. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-296066 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:38:31 +0000 Clementine 296066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i so want to buy it but i def am worried about choking altho everyone seems to be saying the beads are super secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-295628 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:16:13 +0000 pastemoo 295628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: yay! I hope it helps my LO with drooling, too. That would rock! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-295595 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:54:50 +0000 runsyellowlites 295595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has been wearing hers since Monday (a necaklace that we keep around her wrist wrapped 3x &amp; and anklet) and I think I'm starting to see a difference. This is the first day in a week I haven't had to give her tylenol b/c she was so fussy and clearly hurting (she was ferociously trying to rub her gums &amp; kept grabbing her jaw/cheek it was terrible to see) She's also drooling ALOT less!</p> <p>I hope that the longer she wears it the better her symptoms get! And that is MAY even help her tummy issues since it supposedly helps inflammation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-295586 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:47:54 +0000 pastemoo 295586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one I got has no choking hazard because the beads are way too small.<br /> I just got it today and I don't know what I think yet (it is cute though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-275598 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 04:04:08 +0000 looch 275598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The amber is supposed to secrete a substance that dulls pain, so take that with a grain of salt. The beads aren't meant to be chewed on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-275582 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 01:28:47 +0000 MsMini 275582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one for Sawyer (my SIL who is a naturopath bought it for us). I feel like it is a strangulation risk, so he wears it around his ankle (double wrapped). I can't say if it makes any difference though.</p> <p>@Mrsdaredevil: They just need to be worn, in fact they should fit quite snugly so they can't pull it into their mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-275572 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 23:06:36 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 275572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question about this....do they help just by the baby wearing them or by the baby chewing on them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-275570 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 22:52:27 +0000 lemondrop 275570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love ours, he wears it all the time. We had some really awful weeks in early teething, he was so grumpy, drooling like crazy, and had several nursing strikes. He still can be cranky at times, but nothing like before- I can't say 100% that it is the necklace because I am too afraid to take it off and find the little monster back again! No side effects that I have seen other than a happy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274530 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:34:40 +0000 purrpletulips 274530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know of any negatives. If you get it from a reputable company then the string should be knotted between each bead so that if it were to break then only that one bead would come off. I haven't used one on DD but do have one for myself which I thought would help my headaches (not migraines but still pretty bad when I get them) and didn't see any big change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274528 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:30:12 +0000 mamimami 274528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try it... but keep in mind amber CAN break -- it's not a super hard stone. I have had amber jewelry break. In fact, many people say it breaks when it's around bad vibes LOL. So just to keep in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274498 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 11:03:30 +0000 pelikila 274498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard of any side effects or negatives. We keep one on my son almost constantly. I don't swear by them, but I do think it helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274443 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:31:58 +0000 anonysquire 274443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just love how a lot of celebrities have them for their babies... so that is the only reason I would get one lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274437 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:29:39 +0000 JennyD 274437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one on my LO all the time, for about the past 4 months. It came off for a few days after she puked on it, and in those few days she was SO fussy and bit me several times while nursing. I washed it and put it back on, and on it has stayed. I'm convinced. She plays with it and pulls on it and chews on it, and I don't think it's at risk for breaking. She has several friends who also wear theirs all the time. I don't think there are any side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274064 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:19:22 +0000 Rubies 274064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used mine a few times with LO. I just wasn't persistent but I don't know of any other side effects... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baltic-amber-teething-necklaces#post-274046 Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:08:22 +0000 creativemomma15 274046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have definitely seen a lot of information about people loving baltic amber for relieving teething pain with their LOs. I know I have seen that there is no medical proof supporting the use for teething pain. </p> <p>I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are any "side effects" or negative things about using baltic amber teething necklaces (other than the possible choking risk if a bead would come off). </p>
