could it be the amber?


Sienna's teething became so bad at one point a few weeks go,
I had Danny in Walgreens in his pajamas in the middle of the night getting every remedy on the shelf.

He came home with a bag of stuff,
 hoping at least one of the items gave her some sort of relief...

Homeopathic teething gel, tablets, Camilia and Motrin.
We wanted the motrin to be a last resort if all else failed. I really try to avoid that stuff. I cant even tell you when the last time I took anything like Tylenol or Motrin myself. I would say its been years and years.

After a couple of nights of trying those things...we didnt notice any change
She still woke up literally every 10 minutes and seemed to be in discomfort, she didn't have a fever though she was pretty warm to the touch.

Someone suggested I put her amber teething necklace back on, I had her wear it when she was younger mostly only cuz I thought it looked cute to be honest...She was such a sweet baby back then I never thought teething bothered her since she never acted like it did and she popped 2 teeth no problem.

Running out of options, 
I decided put the necklace back on...leaving it on all day & night even for baths
and guess what?

She's been a different baby!! not drooling as much and not waking up every 10 mins anymore. Could be it just be a coincidence and the teething pains just passed? sure!

but I'm swearing by the amber

  1. I am telling you, Breanna has been so pleasant w. her teething and I swear its from her amber necklace...when her molars popped I had no idea cause she was barely fussy. Mind you she did have some cranky moments but not nearly as bad as I expected

  3. My daughter is 20 months old and wears her amber teething necklace 24/7 except for bath. We worship that thing and it's an added bonus that it looks super cute. Right now my little one is cutting all 4 eye teeth but sleeps a solid 13 hours at night ::knocks on wood:: Glad Sienna seems to be pain free :)

  7. I've never heard of this - hmm good to know! But this isn't a choking hazard (esp at night)?

    Max never had any issues with teething - I was so lucky! I'm in for it with Sadie I'm sure.
