With Leah I took it off for baths or swimming but the clasp broke after about 6 months. They replaced it fine but with a longer one so I ended up giving it to a friend with a bigger baby.

Joels has been on since 3.5months, never come off at all. I was talking to a lady who sells them the other day and she said most people leave them on for baths now.

I made sure when I bought Joels one that it was the shortest length I could get and he never touches it or plays with it.

So now its worn full time except at bath time. ]]> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:13:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=873254&title=teething-beads-safe#873254 <![CDATA[teething beads - safe? : Thats a good idea Jess ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=873103&title=teething-beads-safe#873103 Author: Shezamumof3

The amber contains a natural analgesic (succinic acid) which is released into the skin and bloodstream whilst worn. It has been used for centuries for pain relief etc

Sirius wears his all the time. I just take it off before his bath as water can cause the silk to rot.

DS is in his all the time - since we got them about three weeks ago. I figure that if it breaks, only one bead will come off and 1) DS hasn't mastered the pincer grasp yet so couldn't pick up a bead if it came off [or the whole necklace - especially not lying down] and 2) the bead is so small that it can't be choked on.

The only concern I have is if it snaps off in his hands and then he tries to put the whole necklace in his mouth but at the moment he doesn't even know he's wearing it so....]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:43:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=872590&title=teething-beads-safe#872590 <![CDATA[teething beads - safe? : Flutterby wrote:I&#039;m in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=872567&title=teething-beads-safe#872567 Author: Shezamumof3

we dont take it off either. I figured it was night time when he was worst with his teething so what was the point of not wearing it then. I did hear that you can wrap it round their ankle at night and still get an effect....but my boy was too generously proportioned there. ]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2009 18:15:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=872506&title=teething-beads-safe#872506 <![CDATA[teething beads - safe? : DS lives in his. i was paranoid...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30540&PID=872500&title=teething-beads-safe#872500 Author: monikah

Are amber teething beads safe to sleep in?
