Teething necklaces
Submitted by BeforeDreaming on Thu, 04/17/2008 - 3:35pm.
Jonah hasn't started teething yet, but I want to be ready.
Has anyone used an amber teething necklace? Many of the hip, natural, yoga mamas in my area use them. I posted about them on another mothering message board and was reprimanded for even hinting at them.
I am aware that they pose a hazard because they go around a childs neck. However, most are made with magnetic clasps for easy breakage and are taken off while the child is sleeping. The beads are knotted individually so if the necklace somehow breaks, the beads stay put.
I would imagine they require a certain degree of mindfulness/vigilance. But, if they alleviate teething pain, it might be worth looking into.
Any thoughts?

...Sounds pretty cool though. I'm sorry you got reprimanded. I wonder what that's like to wake up in the morning with all the answers on how to raise everyone else's kids...
I wouldn't be too worried about choking, they sound pretty safe. Try it and let us know how it goes!
