Teething Remedies: Amber Necklaces


Let's talk about teething.. I hear horror stories of drooling, fussiness, fevers, swollen gums.. Non-stop crying when teething starts. It's a bitch! 

Around 4 months Landon started seriously teething. We wanted to utilize the "homeopathic" route. We wanted to avoid giving medicine and after talking to multiple mamas and our pediatrician, they recommended we try an Amber necklace. 

Our ped suggested that we use the necklace around his ankle to avoid strangling and choking. 

He encouraged us to try it out and let us know that teething starts around 3-4 months but the teeth actually pops through within a 72 hour window. Around then, if Landon needs Tylenol, I can give him some to ease his pain. (Which totally did when necessary)

So at first, my husband was super against this necklace. But after spending 6-7 hours alone with Landon without the necklace, I came home to my husband and son quietly sitting on the couch with his necklace on. :) that's how much we love this thing.. It has helped is survive 8 teeth & 2 molars!

I'm a huge fan of these necklace. I even wear one on my wrist. I recommend buying raw amber, unpolished necklaces in either harvest or lemonade.

Teething Pacifier Pops



We have a teething baby... He is going nuts! Sometimes our amber necklace can only go so far, so a few months ago, I decided to make him some popsicles!

He loves this! It keeps him super busy for about 15-20 minutes, soothes his gums and super nutritious.

So wether or not you're using breastmilk or formula.. or a fruit smoothie, this is super easy to make.



I fill his bottle cap with some milk, throw in a pacifier and pop it in the freezer over night.

once you're ready to use one, run it under some water for a few seconds to loosen the ice cube.. pop it out and it looks like this:



hand it to your teething babe and let him enjoy!


he loves it! he gets super excited when frees his pacifier!


this cube makes about 1oz of breast milk so its a great snack! 



Enjoy!
