The teething period of every child is perhaps the most exciting and yet the most painful and stressful period for both the parents and the child. The drooling, fussing, and the sheer pain and discomfort of the child are something that increases the nightmare of any caring parent. They get ready to move heaven and earth to find some relief for their precious darling and themselves. Amber necklace has emerged as one of the most effective solutions to their problem.

What is an amber teething necklace?

Babies wear amber necklaces against their skin. Ambar is obtained when the resin of the coniferous trees gets fossilized. It is most commonly obtained in the bead form. Ambar has a high percentage of succinic acid which is responsible for its therapeutic properties. Ambar gets heated by the natural body heat of the child and releases succinic acid as an oil. This oil gets absorbed into the skin and brings relief to the child.

Tips on selecting the right amber necklace

Now that you know how effective an amber necklace is; you would naturally want it for your child. But selecting the right amber necklace for your delicate baby is no mean task. Keep these following tips in mind to make the job easier and perfect for you.

·        Foremost, it is very important to choose a safe amber necklace for your child. The child can easily put the amber bead in his mouth, and this increases the risk of choking. The inhalation of the bead can also put the child in danger. Thus, you need to select a necklace which has a fastener as well as has a hand-knot between each bead. This structure makes the necklace sturdier against any pulling and yanking. Even if the bead breaks loose; just a single bead comes out.

·        The fastening clasp is also important if you need to prevent suffocation and choking. A necklace with magnetic closure or screw clasp is safest.

·        The length of the necklace should be such that the child is comfortable with it and is not exposed to the temptation of taking it in his mouth for chewing. Generally, an amber necklace of length 12 to 15 inches is considered ideal for any child. Still, you can always measure the child’s neck before purchasing the necklace for him.

·        The thread that runs through the amber necklace should always be multi-thread. A double or triple strung thread preferably of cotton gives maximum strength and durability. The thread does tend to get weak over a period of time. Thus, you can actually have the thread changed periodically.

·        You must be extra careful in choosing the genuine amber necklace. Baltic amber is best as it has the highest amount of succinic acid. Thus, you must opt for amber necklaces made from amber from countries like Sweden, Poland, Russia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Estonia, and Finland. Always purchase from reliable and trustworthy vendors who can offer you quality and authenticity at the right pricing.

With these tips, you can get the right amber necklace for your baby and bring a beautiful smile on his face during a difficult period.
