They are under safety review due to small parts, necklace risk, etc... however everyone I know loves them. My only comment is get one fast, they may be banned for sale in the EU...

Amber Pumpkin, Amazon, Ebay ...just do a google search ...

Though Amber pumpkin is by far the favorite

where is a good place to purchase one of these please?

They do work wonders.... I lost the first ankle one for a few days and our poor little one cried and cried during the night.

I have now bought on the internet a neckless in a lemon colour for our little boys as I thought it will look softer on his skin

good luck we couldn;t survive the molars coming through without it

The amber anklet that I got my son is brilliant. I agree these do work , maybe even better in conjuction with other stuff but in general it tends to keep my LO happier and calmer.

My little one has been wearing his since shortly after my original post. I can confirm that the drooling stopped immediately, and his teeth have come through with minimal fuss. I took it off last week as an experiement to see if anything would change. Not sure if it was a terrible coincidence, but he got the worst nappy rash he's ever had. I felt so guilty, and the necklace is permanently back on!

My little boy has had one since about 8 months and pretty much all of his teeth - 12 and counting, have come through without much fuss.
They work because amber is a natural anti inflammatory which when worn around the neck heats up and releases its properties and therefore works in conjunction with the bodies own anti inflammatory system. I keep it on day and night and like pp have said, each bead is individually knotted they are not a choking risk.

I had a babysitter who took it off one night and the next morning he was grumpy and dribbling. When put back on he was back to his normal self - coincidence, maybe but I'm not going to take it off til he's stopped teething!!

yes they do work wonders, my little boy lost it for 2 days and cried without it, put them back on and really helped to ease the big molar coming out.
I have also used camomile granules in combination, very efficient if you ask me.

Ah, just read the last post about anklets - guess that answers my question! Der....

This might be a really thick question, but my friend just bought one for my youngest and neither of us know if they work from them just wearing it, or, as a 'teething' necklace, do they actually chew on it too? My daughter wears it for the moment and I have to say she hasn't had any teething problems, but I'm rather confused as to how they actually work!

Amber Pumpkin do anklets for boys. My 6 month old has one, he has worn it since he was 3 months on the advice of friends who swore by them. No teeth as yet but I'm hoping the anklet will help.

I believe that they work.
Even if they don't, there's no harm in trying it.

I have always used them and have found that none of my charges have suffered with teething problems at all!

No idea if they work but i can highly recommend the hoeopathic medicine Calmonilla - its what the nelsons teething granules are based on but my local pharmacy sells stronger granules and they have worked wonders all week and she has had 2 molars through!

Amber teething necklaces are a God-send! They make the biggest difference in my LO's ability to cope with teething. I actually got mine from my dentist. I was lamenting the issue to him while I was getting my teeth cleaned and he actually sold the amber teething necklaces in his office because it's such a common issue. I just wish the dental insurance covered the necklace, too!

our friends who have 2 boys swear by them 100% so...............
