Amber Teething Necklace

(Update on 3.22.13 about where to buy at the bottom of this blog post)


It was a rough few days in the Hillis household.  Our normally very happy little man was becoming increasingly irritable.  After four restless days and nights, we were desperate!  Teething hurts!  I really do not like giving Emerson medicine and prefer to take the natural route whenever possible.  My friend swears by the raw amber teething necklace.  I was a skeptic, but remember I was desperate.  On Tuesday when I finally got my uncomfortable little nug down for a nap I immediately took to the internet to rush order a raw amber teething necklace.  Desperate times call for desperate measures!  I was so excited when the necklace arrived on Wednesday.  We immediately opened the box and put the necklace on Emerson.  I have to say....these skeptics became believers!  We noticed a difference right away, and he slept amazing last night!  I wish I had bought one a year ago!!

Some notes when ordering your necklace:
Raw amber works the best because it has higher levels of succinic acid, which is the natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory found in amber.  Typically, the lighter the color the stronger the amber; however, too high amounts of succinic acid can irritate the skin.  Therefore, we chose a medium colored necklace.  (Emerson has sensitive skin).  The necklace is supposed to be worn against the skin (under clothes) and is not meant as a "teether" or to be chewed on by your teething infant.  The heat from the skin causes the acid to release.  It also works best if it is worn 24/7.  We co-sleep so it is easy for me to keep an eye on him while he wears it to sleep, but I can see how this would worry some parents whose children sleep in another room.  The necklace is only $19 and can be purchased via the link below.  I recommend this one because the beads are individually tied so if your little one breaks it beads do not go everywhere.
