Danny has two teeth broke through. He's a miniature satan atm does anyone know if Amber necklaces work?

I have one but we're trying to clear up a drool rash on his neck before I start using it.

DS is wearing one right now. Not sure if it is really "working" though. His teething pains haven't seemed too bad yet.

[seamonster]

How is the amber necklace supposed to work? When I first heard of them I thought they were for babies to chew while their mothers held them.

[mommadozer]

seamonster apparently amber releases a natural type of pain relief due to the warmth from being around the baby's neck.
I bought one because I found it on amazon's Black Friday and it was only $10. DS is a drooling machine and I was desperate to find anything that could possibly help in the event he was teething. A couple of my friends swear up and down about these necklaces.

Two little teeth at the bottom. Done with teething for now. Time to stock up on some hard liqour.

[WittyLittle]

Jake his one of the bottom ones and the 2nd bottom tooth is now making an entrance. Luckily he's semi ok about it. The first day he screamed, but now it's just a sad little cry that breaks my heart. (un)fortunately the most effective thing seems to be chewing on my finger- so I pop that in his mouth during all.those.wake.ups. And brushing 3 or 4 times a day seems to be doing good. Poor little guy!

We are working on our 4th! Bottom tooth. None on the top yet. We've added an extra wakeup in which apparently only mommy can comfort him sending daddy leads to even louder screams. Yay.

[seamonster]

Bottom tooth number 3 has arrived. No top teeth yet.

MH asked me if DS had a 3rd tooth coming in and I said no because I'd just looked in his mouth. And yet there was a tooth poking out next the 2nd bottom tooth. No wonder he'd had such bad nights and wanted to comfort nurse all night long. He's sleeping better now that it's made it's appearance. Only 2 wakeup now.

[seamonster]

Jinxed myself. Number 4 is rearing it's painful head.

Okay people this is not a drill! The two bottom teeth are on their way. The gums are really thinning out. I keep trying to snap a picture to show DH bc he doesn't believe me. Listen pal, I've been looking at these gums for the last two months. I know what's what!

[kerrigrooves]

We broke 3 and 4 this week and I think 5 & 6 on top are coming too. We broke the first one before his 5 mo mark and the Dr was surprised. I am too, DD wasnt this early.

The first 4 didnt seem too bad for him but the last two days he's been really unhappy and waking up crying pretty hard. Somethings up. He's drooling lots and chomping.

I use chew beads - he really likes them

That's what I kept saying! Lo and behold I saw the first one today and that little sucker is sharp!

Lol they are! I was finally able to tell DH that he didn't need to believe me bc he could feel it for himself!

[seamonster]

Tooth number 4 and the first top tooth has broken through. DS is a mess at night. I feel like the first bottom was the worst and this first top one is worse than bottom 2 and 3.

He's started biting again and teeth on both sides hurts so much worse. I'm still unlatching and telling him no and ending the session if I have to, but it's hard when he's hungry and in pain to say no nursing. Hopefully he learns quicker this time not to bite me.

[Deleted]

Ugh, seamonster the biting! DD has been biting a lot the past couple days and my nipples are really feeling it. I'm doing the same thing as you, but I don't know that she's catching on. Ow!

Not sure if they work or not, but... Babygirl has been wearing one since she was six weeks (someone told me to start it early, that way she just thinks of it as part of her body and won't mess with it. Not sure how that works, since she is alllll about messing with all the parts of her body. But she does ignore the necklace, so there's that.)

I just realized tonight that she's cut her first tooth. We didn't have any of the major drooling, etc. She's been chewing her hands a little more than usual this past week. Last night she was whining/whimpering in her sleep. I couldn't figure out what was wrong, and actually took her pajamas off because I decided they must be bothering her. Stupid mommy. Finally gave up and just put her in bed with us so I could at least have her close if I ever got to the bottom of the problem. 

So, long story shortish--the amber necklace might be working. I sure hope so.

Overachievers our children's teeth are.

Baby is crying. Mommy and daddy are crying. No one sleeps anymore.

Dd is cutting her very first tooth - eek! She seems ok, even at night, so I am thankful for that. Sorry if this has been asked, but how long did it take you lo's tooth to actually cut through?

Curious as well because I've been able to see 2 teeth through DS's gums for a week now and I thought it would have happened already.

In case anyone is still experimenting with solutions: lots to try here.

I've found success with celery sticks, cucumbers, and frozen peaches in the feeder for daytime fussiness. Also, nursing seems to help (although she isn't having it with the bottles lately). Tried this stuff last night when she was starting to cry and gnaw her fingers at bedtime. She woke up once and found her pacifier and went straight back to sleep until around 6. So either it totally works or God just loves me and it's a coincidence. Chiropractor also seemed to help...
