Teething Necklaces

I've had Evan wearing one since he was about 2 months old (when he started having some teething symptoms). I bought mine locally though (at a boutique in Vegas), but there are plenty of online sources. As for sizing, Evan's is 12 inches long--it still fits him very well at age 2. It's got 3 different shades of amber on it, so I don't know if one shade has been more effective than another. When you buy one, make sure each bead has its own knot-that way, if it breaks, only one bead is loose (limiting the amount of beads that could be swallowed)--Evan's has never broken or caught on anything in the 2 yrs he's worn it.

As for pros and cons:
Pros--I really felt like it worked for Evan-on a few occasions I forgot to put it on him and he really seemed more irritable when he wasn't wearing it. It's also stinking cute:)

Cons-Once Evan turned 1, I felt like the necklace didn't help as much-could be /i need to clean it somehow? The random comments from strangers about a boy wearing a necklace:)

What is it for? Just wearing it helps with the teething or? I've not known anyone to use them so curious!

Katie- It's for teething--the amber resin supposedly soaks into their skin and relieves pain. I think that amber is supposed to boost immunity to, but am not sure.
