Amber teething necklace

[Phoenix]

Hello all this is my first thread! :yipi

I bought a teething necklace for my second DS and as soon as B saw it and ripped it off his neck. B was adament that the necklace was his and made a big stink about me taking it off him.

So my question is, have you had this happen and do you have any tips for me. B was adament that the necklace was his and made a big stink about me taking it off him.

Thank you for reading.

Buy two, one for each boy. It will help B recover from his surgery coming up soon.

I want to get a rainbow one for Ash. Does anyone here sell them?

[Phoenix]

Well that would be common sense wouldn't it Kali. :oops

hmmmm - wow! we only have one bubba, so never had this issue. But wanted to say that the teething necklaces are SO effective IMO.

Anyway, this could be a little 'way out' for some, but I had an inspired thought that perhaps on some level, B is feeling some 'connection' with the necklace, more specifically the stones on the necklace. Crystal children in particular feel a very strong connection to rocks, crystals and other earth stones - but I believe all children are very intune with the earths elements and energies. He may really be feeling that it is somehow 'his' and that he has a connection to it. Sorry if this is way out of your beliefs, please just disregard my comments if so.

Anyway, whether you agree with my thoughts or not, perhaps you could obtain for B a special crystal or rock of his own (you could collect it in nature or spiritual stores have crystal pieces for $1 or so). Tell him a story that somehow depicts a similar scene - two animal friends or gnome friends - one has a necklace and the other thinks it is his. The friend who owns the necklace is confused, he doesn't know why his friend keeps taking his necklace. Then a fairy (or other elemental or character you are comfortable with) could appear and offer the item you have chosen to the friend, presenting it in a magical and special way. The little gnome or animal then feels quite special with his new gift and returns the necklace understanding that it belongs to his friend. At the end of the story, you could say to B that perhaps he would like to care for this special piece for the gnome? I'm sure you could work this to best fit the situation and your family, but just thought I would share this idea.

Hoping it all works out for you, it would be a challenging and frustrating situation xxx much love xxx

We bought Chilllis from Selkie designs. GREAT jewelry. I liked hers because they are on silk, individually knotted and have a metal jump ring clasp. Also, this was the big point, the stones are rounded and nicely smooth - many I saw were a little jagged in shape. Anyway, here is the link to her site... http://www.selkiedesigns.com.au/

That is a great idea.
B does have a love for all types of rocks and takes my crystals frequently. I put the necklace on him because I felt if he wanted it he could have it but he really didn't want to wear it. H is having a lot of problems with his teeth atm so I would love to keep it on him.

Yes yes yes yes yes! I bet that is why. I bet the little guy know he needs them to help him. Crystals are strong like that.

Your very wise Elke!

Well he didn't want to wear them, or does that not matter for them to be healing to him?

[indigomumma]

hmmmm - that part I am not sure on? But crystals (as far as I know) are an energy field (as everything is), so yes IMO I would think he does not need to be wearing them for them to be healing or positively influencing him. For example, people use crystals in rooms etc and they are not necessarily on them as such, and they are still very powerful....

Ok I am totally freakin out and I need some advice.
H had the necklace on while he was sleeping last night, I had no instructions with the necklace so I have no idea if I have done the wrong thing, he woke up during the night and had a v and d episode and high temps all night.

Could the necklace have caused these things, or should I never let him go to sleep with it on. ( I am wondering if the necklace could be a fake or something to make this happen ) BTW I have no idea, just have never seen my baby like that.

Thanks

i would say its a coincidence. I used to try to remove the necklace from my daughter as she slept ( she would often wake though and get upset about it) we now before bed ask her if she wants the horse ( a statue of a roman horse I have near my bed) to look after it for her, so she lets me take it off and gives it to the horse and thanks the horse in the mornign when she gets itback ( so cute)

there are ways of chekcing if amber is real, but it involves placing a red hot needle into it and seeing if the smell is pine smelli ng( real) or plastic smelling ( fake) so that can damage the bead, but its the only way to check ( sadly you cant just go doing that at the point of sale!!!)

I have been thinking about getting Aria an amber teething necklace, but kind of forgot about it - what a timely reminder! It seems that all her teeth are coming through at once (she didn't have any until a couple of mths ago @13mths) and she is beside herself, poor wee thing. Thanks for the reminder :) (I'm so forgetful these days :s)

I have had such an awful day.
I took H to the hospital and told them about the amber necklace and they said the same thing, it is a coincidence. They said if it was an illergic reaction he would have had big patches of rash instead of a tiny dotty rash all over his body. So they think it is viral.

I bought one for each other boys and one for myself when i got one for Brock. I have found it's helped me with my severer sleep deprivation. I find I struggle more on teh days I don't wear it than when I do.

I think it sounds like your little one was already fighting something and he developed a viral rash, both my boys get these.

[Phoenix]

I still think the necklace can work, I just got a bit worried that I had bought a fake and it had done some damage. I bought it over the net and I don't usually do this. B has claimed it now though. he he

I ended up buying Aria a necklace and it arrived a couple of days ago. It is just beautiful to hold - I want one for myself! Such a deeply soothing feel to it. I've kept it on her while in bed and we've had no problems - It definitely seems to have made a difference. I can tell she loves having it put on her - she has a similar reaction to when I'm stroking my fingers through her hair - she looks very peaceful. Thanks for recommending this site Elke! http://www.selkiedesigns.com.au/

I don't get that feeling from the one I bought and I have always had the feeling that it isn't real. I am really disappointed.

I am glad you got a beautiful teething necklace Melissa.

That's such a pity phoenix! If I were you, I'd definitely trust my intuition on this one. xx

I leave Sophie's necklace on her 24/7...
