I got ours from this lady in Dunedin.... http://chookmook.co.nz/baltic-amber-teething-necklace/ - http://chookmook.co.nz/baltic-amber-teething-necklace/ and I am really happy with it. The key things to look for are: knotted between each bead, so that if it breaks there is no risk of swallowing multiple beads correct length - bubs shouldnt be able to get it into their mouth no plastic or glued clasp

I got Sam's off Trade Me from a lady in Kaitaia. It was only $28 and came with a certificate of authenticity plus was knotted between each bead etc.
And, i have to add, it has most definitley done what it said it should. Before it Sam was a terrible teether! She has recently popped through all 4 molars in a very short space of time with not one single restless night or screaming! Yay!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We got ours from www.picopico.co.nz
We got the multi coloured one and it screws together with a clasp made out of the beads. Each bead is knotted on. I have found it to be very good when I rememeber to put it on her as I take it off at night for sleeping! It was $40. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

The trade me sellers name was 'stefi'. Lovely lady and loads of different colours. I meant to say that the beads on Samantha's are nicely rounded as well.

Thanks Sterryn! I just ordered one from her. Ella's not having the prettiest time with her 2yr molars, and a friend swore by her daughter's one. ------------- Andie |

I bought one from Nature Baby as I decided I needed one urgently and didn't want to wait for postage by ordering a cheaper one. They have 3 different colours to choose from, are good quality, was $60.
Was a bit keen on my part though, should have bought a cheaper one and waited a few days as turns out it wasn't teeth causing DD to be irritable, but the start of a cold! |

Well mine arrived today, and it's lovely - will just have to wait and see if it works on wee Ella. I re-made part of it because it was long enough for Ella to chew on, so I used one of the beads I'd removed to test the amber using that link that you put up somewhere, Deb (thanks!) and it passed 3/3 tests! So whaddaya know, real amber by the looks of it, not copal. ------------- Andie |

apparently amber has analgesic properties and actually feels warm against the skin, and it is the warmth of the skin that releases its healing properties... ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

...and they're not for chewing on, hence Ella's being drastically shortened! ------------- Andie |

ohh I see!
I thought the kids chewed on them! That's why I never got one for Miss Jaws, she breaks anything and everything that goes in her mouth! 
I might look into these as Caitlin still has heaps of teeth to come through and doesn't do well with teething  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I do have a wee question regarding the use of teething necklaces. I have a 14month old, and have just ordered a necklace for him. Do you recommend leaving it on while he sleeps - as this is when teething seems to affect him most - or is it general practice that it is taken off while sleeping and bathing? I have found different information on varying websites...
Would appreciate the tips! Thanks in advance! |

My girl wears hers all day, during all her naps. If my DP remembers, he takes it off at night (he is supposed to but is a tad forgetful). We've never had any problems with it. Ours is designed to "break" at the clasp if it's pulled on, so sometimes when we get her up in the morning it's in her bodysuit instead of around her neck, it also ends up in her clothes during the day if she plays with it. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

My understanding is they should be taken off for sleeps because they can make their way into mouths (by way of little hands) and become a choking hazard if a bead comes off. Apparently Starship has had an increase in incidents from teething necklaces.
ETA: We have a picopico one and it works fantastically. -------------

It would also depend if they have a breakaway link because Livvy has pulled hers off a few times and if she did that while in bed I know it would eventually end up in her mouth. We've never let her sleep in hers overnight for that reason.
Even so, I still prefer the breakaway clasp just so as that it doesn't become a choking hazard when she's playing. -------------

So is it better to buy a light or dark one? Sounds like the dark ones are stronger, is that better? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hmm, so is it best to spend a bit more money (like $35 or more) or is a $20 going to do the same job? I've heard of them before, but never took much notice ... now my girl is really teething and it's time to ACT!! Also, is it better to buy them from a baby store (online cos it's hard to get out), or is TM ok?? I guess what I'm asking is, are there teething necklaces and teething necklaces or are they much of a muchness? Thanx!!

We sell http://www.birthpower.co.nz/Products.html - amber teething necklaces . A lot of the ones you find on trademe are the chipped type with sharp edges hence the reason they are cheaper.
Our ones are rounded and polished which give better skin contact and are comfortable for baby. We currently use one on our 4 month old daughter and it makes a huge difference. Feedback from our customer also backs this up. There are variety of colours to choose from Feel free to ask any questions

| Hi Tweedle - since you sell them, you're probably best to answer this for me - are there teething necklaces and teething necklaces or are they much of a muchness? I see some have commented about the sharp edges, but is that the only difference? Are some from different origins better than others? Thanks so much! SarahR |

Sarah - I think you just need to be careful they are the real deal and buy from a reputable retailer. Also be sure the necklace is knotted between each piece of amber.
Sharp vs rounded edges really is a peference. Best of luck ------------- Mum to Ellie, Dylan & Lauren |

Majority of Amber is manufactured in Poland and Lithuania - i would advice to buy directly from there cause there is lots of Fake amber now. If you want to go local way - you SHOULD ask for amber certificate, you can't differ real from fake your self. My friend owns http://www.amberforbabies.com/ - Amber For Babies and sells them in US, he says close to 30% of amber teething necklaces are fake.
