The Baltic Amber Teething Necklace

That all powerful, best ever, cure-all awesome teething necklace. Hmmm.

 

James has had one since he was 3 months old. Leah was an early teether, and actually quite an amazing teether without an amber necklace may i add. But there was huge hype over this magical necklace that could take away or ease babies pain while those mean teeth came through. And to be honest with you? They looked pretty darn cute too.

 

I was so set on getting one for James. I told my skeptic husband about them and he thought it was a waste of money. But because he gets me pretty much whatever i ask... he let me buy one. And he immediately thought it was the cutest thing and weather it was hocus pocus or not he liked it. Ha!

 

 

Now let me just be clear here. I bought this necklace from a well known, well liked, reputable little store in the big city. I researched and read reviews. All were positive and pleasantly pleased. Even now, i research on "the baltic amber teething necklace" and no one has anything negative to say. Which is why I'm sure some people won't like what I'm about to say, since 95% of people swear by them. Actually, i bet most people won't like it. However, I'm saying it anyways, because i would of appreciated a review such as this.

 

Here it is: some babies are better teethers than others. Period. Is that so hard to believe? Some babies can grow those mean teeth like little champions. Other babies? Not so much. They aren't as tough. Or they're more vocal and emotional about their discomforts. Thats understandable isnt is? No?

 

Okay, okay, get this. My sister is a teenager. She's one of the biggest and i mean biggest whiney-pants EVER. I whine too. But definitely nowhere near as much as that girl can. You see? People are different. So are babies. Bam.

 

I honestly think these necklaces are another money-making fad. And they are cute as heck, so that's a bonus. I have talked to other mom's at play groups or at the library or school or whatever and you know what? There are other people out there who think the same as me. I'm not alone!
So, in the end, not a total waste of money, 'cause it's cute. That's all. Nothing magical, or really helpful at all.
