When did you start using the Baltic Amber Teething necklace if you have one? I've read it can help with drooling, and while K is still too young for teething, she is a drool dribbler! Did anyone have god luck with that? She's going through bibs like crazy!
I bought 2 necklaces and actually think they're cute too. So wondering when I can start using them on her. I tried once a couple weeks ago, but it still seemed too big, like she could get it caught in her mouth, so I took it off right away.

I put one on Jax when he was about 13 weeks. He was soaking shirts with drool and even going through bibs. He even got a little rash from being wet, even though I thought I was on top of it. It stopped the drooling almost completely until his teeth started to actually cut through and then only lasts for a couple days.
He never really noticed he even had it on, since it sat under his clothes most of the time. It's only been recently (11 months) that he has grabbed it here or there, but I just distract him from it, and he forgets about it all over again.

Another mama was telling me they should wear them months before they even teethe because of some acid that needs to build up in their systems to combat the pain.

I started using one on DS at around 6.5 months. It cut down on drool and spit-up.

@junebugmama: yes! She will get little red bumps in her neck crease since she can't support her own head fully yet! Maybe I'll give it a try in a couple of weeks.
@sloaneandpuffy: that makes sense! But how early?

@shopaholic: I don't know, maybe 2-3 months? Total guess. I'm going to ask her next time I see her!

After reading this post the other day I was inspired to get out L's amber necklace but I also thought it was a little too long for me to just leave on her right now, especially when we're out and I can't reach her in the car seat. I think for maximum effect you're supposed to leave it on while they sleep too - I don't think I can ever do that! It is so cute though!
@hilsy85: Ours was a gift, but I think the pouch said Art of the Cure

@sloaneandpuffy: thanks!
@hilsy85: I know a lot of bees got theirs from Inspired By Finn. I bought 2 when I saw them on BabySteals by Mon Petit Mardi. Both have websites and there are a bunch on Etsy. You just want the ones that are Baltic Amber. And I read, unpolished has more of the acid.
@JerricaBenton: I've read people wrap it around an ankle and put it under the sleeper or a sock while sleeping.

My mom got one for us from Amazon after his second nursing strike when he was around 20 weeks old. No more nursing strikes and it greatly reduced drooling. We had no issues with teething until he got to all four molars coming in at once. I can't say 100% that it works, because I'm afraid to take it off, and he is super easy going- but comparing him with babies at similar stages, I think it's working.
