   Caden has one I reckon it works. He dribbles less and doesnt seem as fussy when he wears it,
and they look cool, he looks like a lil surfy dud with it on!!

   I remember with Leahs one they told me when I bought it to take it off for bathing so I did, but the catch broke after about 6 months, and even tho they replaced it the necklace was longer and she could get it in her mouth so I stopped putting it on her and gave it to someone who had a chubby baby!! She never really had red cheeks and no dribbling at all, most of the time we would just find another tooth when she got up in the morning!!! Don't know if thats what would have happened tho if she didn't have it on. With Joels one, I put it one about 3 weeks ago and haven't taken it off yet, keep forgetting at bath time and nothing on the info that came with it says to take it off so on it stays . I also have a breastfeeding bracelet that gets swapped from arm to arm but other than that I leave it on all the time, I would never remember to put it back on otherwise. And yup, Sheza is right, they do look cool with them on |

   Sam started wearing hers at about 6 months - it would have been sooner but I didn't know about them before that   I have always taken it off her at night just to be safe.

   i like the idea of having it round the ankle during bed time...would it still work do you think???
also did it help Sam during teething?
 With my first he got a very sore bum to the point that it blistered and bled every time he was teething and he would be a bit feverish and dribble heaps.

   I always take Cadens off at night to be on the safe side. He only wears it on his bad days. I forget to put it on him half the time lol

   they are amber teething necklaces they release amber into the body to help with the symptoms of teething..i just wish they had more boy looking ones..but i guess amber doesn't come in too many colours:)

   I would swear by these now!  For Samantha it was a god send. The first set of teeth were an absolute nightmare.  Since we have had the necklace, it has been much, much better.
We got ours from off TM, from a trader called stefi in Northland.
