Decembers Top Tester Lisa Beedham tells us about Alfie’s Amber Teething Necklace.
Lisa (27) from Blackpool is Mum to Alfie (17 months). Alfie has previously struggled with teething troubles, after being advised by a friend to try using an Amber Teething Necklace Lisa decided to give it a go and ordered one online from http://www.amber-teething-necklaces.co.uk for £13.99
Amber is said to have healing properties, Amber Teething Necklaces are a traditional European remedy used to reduce teething pain. Amber has been used for centuries in Europe with successful results. Suitable for babies six weeks upwards, Amber teething necklaces are widely available online from a range of retailors.
Amber teething necklaces do n
ot come particularly cheap. However, Lisa explains that it was literally her last resort as nothing else seemed to help Alfie. Lisa says that she had already tried Baby Paracetamol, Teething Rings, Teething Powders, Teething Gels and none of these made any difference to Alfie’s pain.
Alfie has been wearing his Amber Teething Necklace for almost two months now, Alfie has recently had two large teeth appear at the top of his mouth and one tooth at the bottom. None of these teeth arriving seems to have bothered Alfie since wearing the Amber Teething Necklace. It seems the Amber does indeed have ‘healing powers!’.
Each bead upon the necklace is attached so that even if one bead breaks off it will not fall apart, only the bead which breaks would come off, therefore reducing worries upon children breaking the necklace and detaching the beads.
Lisa is unable to identify a single negative aspect to this product other than the high price. However, in comparison with the price of a child’s comfort and happiness it is ‘well worth paying’.
Hylands Teething Tablets give some Relief to Leanne.
Mums Baby Magazine is always on the look out for top tips upon teething to tell our readers. Teething seems to be a constant bug bare for infants which parents consistently battle. Leeanne, from Australia explains why Hylands Teething Relief Tablets are now an essential within her household.
My eleven month old daughter is in the throws of teething right now and is cutting both top and bottom teeth all at once, so my once happy girl is now miserable due to teething.
My little girl once had a fantastic sleeping schedule but thanks to teething that is now all over the place. My little girl is gnawing on anything and everything she can get hold of with gusto.
I’ve just recently been recommended Hylands Teething Relief Tablets by friends. They are a natural homeopathic product and are suitable for infants and children, so there is no need to worry about putting too many chemical products onto your child’s gums.
They are very small dissolvable tablets and are very easy for babies to take. You can either dissolve them using water on a spoon, or as I do, just pop them into your little ones mouth. My daughter happily takes these tablets and as soon as she sees them she opens her mouth ready. The bottle contains 125 tablets and is inexpensive thus ideal for Mums on a budget.
I’ve been giving my daughter Hylands Teething Relief Tablets for one week and I believe that they have made a difference to my daughters teething troubles. The first day that 
my little girl used these tablets she was so grizzly and clingy and now, only seven days later this has eased. My daughter’s sleeping (particularly her daytime naps) are almost back to her normal sleeping patterns, her grumpiness has eased and she’s generally her happy self again. I only wish I’d found this product sooner. I will now keep a bottle of these on hand at all times.
Hylands Teething Relief Tablets and Teething Relief Gel are both available within the UK however aren’t readily found in shops. The UK equivalent of this product is ‘New Era’ Teething Tablets and is found in Holland Barratt stores retailed at £5.05 for 450 tablets.
Mums Baby Magazine would recommend that you discuss any medication used with your infants with a health advisor/ GP.
Tame Teething Troubles
Originally made in 1961, The ‘Sophie the Giraffe Teething Toy; by Vulli (a company based in the French Alps) has been and still is one of the most popular teethers available in Europe for over forty years. The reason for its popularity isn’t due to media coverage but simply the fact that this product provides infants with a durable teether which is easy to grip, soft when chewed upon, has a range of textures according to which part of her body the baby decides to chew upon and finally squeaks for added entertainment.
Animal prints such as giraffe spots, zebra stripes, cow splodges and tiger stripes are all popular with infants as they are patterns without hard edges. Infants are fascinated by contrast differences which spots, stripes and splodges feature.
‘Sophie the Giraffe’ is made from natural rubber and painted with non-toxic paint. The ‘Sophie the Giraffe Toy’ is available from www.amazon.co.uk for only £11.95.
