Teething for most children (and parents) can be a rough time and our son's first tooth was no exception. Since Hyland's teething tablets had been taken off the market; we were forced to find other ways to sooth our son's teething pain. Many of our friends are into "natural" parenting and a lot of them suggested that we try a Baltic Amber Teething Necklace from Inspired by Finn. After many nights of being up until 1 a.m. with an inconsolable child and after doing everything we could think of to ease his discomfort we decided to give it a try. What could it hurt, right?
Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin. When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin's warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin acting as a natural pain reliever. You can read more about Baltic amber here.
We've been using this baltic amber teething necklace over the past 6 months and can honestly say that we think there is some validity here. After experiencing the roughness of that first tooth we haven't had anything even close to it since using the necklace. If molars really are supposed to be the worse part of teething we haven't even noticed them coming, in fact one cut through before we knew it. 3 months ago our little man cut three teeth all at once. During this time he was more cuddly than usual but was no where near as fussy as with that first tooth.
We will be purchasing necklaces for each of our future children and are currently debating on getting them for Mom and Dad to help with headaches. Two thumbs up from us!
We were not paid by Inspired By Finn to perform this review. Other children may react differently to this necklace and teething presents differently with each child and from tooth to tooth. We do not claim our findings to be fact or proof of the healing power of Baltic Amber. Try it yourself to see.

I wear one for headaches and have to say it works wonders. There have been a few times I have forgotten to put it back on after a trip to the pool and have paid for it. It minimizes the severity of my headaches as well as the frequency that I get them. Although I do still have the occasional headache they are not nearly as bad as they used to be. I truly encourage you to try one yourself!
