Not many people talk about teething, and the remedies that are available. It seems to be the forgotten stage of development. That’s probably because it’s a nightmare, and no one really want to remember it.
Teething is a natural developmental stage. It’s when the teeth emerge from the gums for the first time. Since the gums are basically virgins to teeth, it can be painful to babies. Just imagine something shark piercing through flesh and that’s what teething is, and I’m sure you can almost feel what babies may be going through.
Some doctors say that babies don’t feel the pain, but I doubt that, especially when my baby screamed for a week straight until her first tooth poked through. Every time I called her doctor, he just said that I needed to give her teething toys and lots of Motrin and Tylenol.
I wasn’t too keen on giving drugs to my helpful little baby girl, so I searched for an alternative, which is when I found amber teething necklaces.
Many mothers use amber teething necklaces to help their babies cope with the pain of teething. It’s the most natural remedy you can find.
The amber that is used for the teething necklaces has succinic acid in it. This is what helps with the pain. Europeans and Middle Easterners have been using amber for centuries to treat many ailments, such as fever, inflammation, arthritis, colds, the flu, and much more.
When a baby wear the amber teething necklace against the skin, the body heats the amber, and then the succinic acid seeps out onto the skin.The skin absorbs it and then it enters the bloodstream. This is when it starts to work. The succinic acid needs to build up in the body though, which is why it’s best that the user wears it every day.
When I bought my amber teething necklace, I decided to go with Baltic Wonder. They have the highest quality amber teething necklaces made out of Baltic amber. They source the amber from Lithuania, which is the place where they cultivate the best amber. In other words, the amber has the highest concentration of succinic acid in it.
It only took a couple of days because I saw a different in my baby when I used the teething necklace. I decided to put it on her wrist because that way I didn’t have to worry about strangulation. It worked just great. On the second morning after putting it on her, she woke up without the nagging fever she had before, and she was interested in eating, which was something she wasn’t too interested in ever since the teething started. Throughout the day, I realized she was as fussy and she slept pretty well during her naps. It was great!
I decided to leave the necklace turned wristlet on her to see if it was just a fluke, but I must say that it’s been a year, and we’ve never had another horrible teething episode. She almost has a full set of teeth, too.
If you’re looking for a natural alternative to teething remedies, try out an amber teething necklace. I recommend the Baltic ones since they are the best you can get, and it’s what worked for me.
