I met with a lactation consultant this morning and she brought up teething strategies and gave me some information about a lady that sells the amber necklaces locally. I've done a little reading on them but not enough to make an informed decision yet. Just curious what you ladies think about them. Has anyone ever tried them before?

I have a girlfriend who swears by them, but they make me uncomfortable. She lets her daughter sleep in hers, which seems like a dangerous move due to choking hazards. I am not convinced they work, but I am less crunchy than my friend.

I'm still pretty skeptical, but I guess it can't hurt. I may try an ankle bracelet or something on DS. I'm just not sure if I'm comfortable with it being around his neck.
Big choking hazard if put on baby. I've seem them sold as jewelry for mom. IMO- baby gnawed on everything (regular necklaces, shoulders, baby ice/gel teethers, my fingers). Save the $$$
I have a few cousins that us them. They really make me nervous though. I don't see how they could be so much better than anything else used for teething that doesn't go around their neck.

They're not for them to actually teeth on. They are said to have a medicinal property that is released into the skin that naturally soothes the teething pain.
I lucked out with DS and teething has never bothered him so the necklace did nothing obviously. I'm hoping I'm lucky enough with DD and she won't be bothered either. FX.
I have a few friends that swear by them and I was given one for DD. One friend of mine puts hers around her sons ankle underneath his sleeper or socks. If I use it this is how I will do it since I would worry about a choking hazard also.
