The Stress Free Way to SURVIVE A Teething Baby, Naturally

As a new mama you hear all the horror stories of what your little might endure during teething - runny noses, drooling, inflammation, discomfort . We want to protect our little from any hardship they might endure but what are the options?

Most common recommendations include everything from teething toys / biscuits to chew on, ointment to rub on their gums, and frozen treats - all of these work and most have natural or organic options. But this busy homesteadin' mama needed round the clock relief with little effort!

So with a little research I knew the above options would only be temporary and I would end up with even less sleep than I was already getting- if that was even possible! Thinking about that, my research landed me on Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces.

A teething necklace?! YES, IT EXIST! Do they chew on it?! NOT AT ALL! Does it ACTUALLY work? I HAD to find out...

If I'm using it on the little, I'm trying it on myself first.

With a little more digging I found multiple daily issues that me and my SO suffer with that these baltic amber necklaces claim to help with so we decided to order one for each of us and put them to the test.

Since being pregnant I suffered major sciatic pain. I tried hot/cold therapy, chiropractors, massages, stretches, pressure exercises- NOTHING worked! Around this time my SO had started getting major migraines that would come out of nowhere.

According to my research, these baltic amber necklaces are a fossilized resin that is naturally occurring and when heated by the skin they release a substance called Succinic Acid. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and when worn anywhere on the body can provide a natural pain relief and a very slight sedative effect for anxiety.

Of course the bigger the body - the longer it takes for you to feel a difference. They say babies in as little as 30 minutes and adults as long as 5 days.

They make bracelets, anklets, and necklaces in many sizes as well as color and finish options. I wanted a more organic looking piece that would work for each of us and our causal lifestyles - so we opted for a cute family matching set in the unpolished dark cherry .

The amber pieces of the baby necklace are a bit smoother than ours and has each piece is individually knotted so incase it breaks there aren't a million pieces falling off becoming a choking hazard. The adult ones are not individually knotted.

As soon as they came in my SO and I put them to the test. A week later we had our results. My sciatica pain most days was unnoticed and his migraines became nonexistent! We have been wearing them daily for almost a year now. There have admittedly been times we have forgotten to put them back on after showering and boy could we both tell a difference.

Living life on the homestead is hard on the body but I hardly have soreness anymore and it's only been since I started wearing this necklace. I have never been into jewelry and definitely didn't think it had a place in my daily life but now I sing the praises of this wonderful little thing to anyone who will listen.

Most places recommend full supervision when baby is wearing it. Since there are obvious dangers to anything being around your childs' neck! Fortunately, my little doesn't even notice she's wearing it so we only take it off to bathe. It is great to have around the clock teething comfort for her. We haven't had ANY of the issues normally associated with teething and her nor I have lost any extra sleep!

I can still see the signs of teething since she enjoys gnawing on something from time to time. But not one time has she been in any discomfort that caused her schedule or mood to change!

As with any thing else - there are fakes so make sure what you get it 100% authentic baltic amber. There are many types of amber but I recommend Baltic so you get the most concentrated form of succinic acid!!
