Listen here.
I was the biggest skeptic of these necklaces there was. I jokingly called them VooDoo necklaces (still do, as a joke). I thought they were some sort of weird hippie thing, but for those who wanted to use them, more power to 'em.
After two weeks of up all night, I became desperate. I was sick of pumping Motrin into my baby and sick of not sleeping.
I ordered a hippie VooDoo necklace.
We received it in the mail on Monday and I immediately put it on. I thought it looked so cute on DD that I didn't care if it didn't work, lol. I was excited at the thought of her feeling better and tried to keep an open mind. I keep it on her 24/7, wrapping it around her ankle at night.
Well, friends, I have TWO nights of 8 straight FREAKIN' hours of sleep under my belt. No Ibuprofen, no Orajel, no waking up shrieking in the middle of the night, and no more dark circles under my eyes. I feel like super woman.
So go, my sleep-deprived mommas. Go get a hippie VooDoo necklace and enjoy the bliss of well-restedness while I completely eat my words.
The end.

I'm thinking about this too....

I ordered from Inspired By Finn. I got the Polished Sunshine one. I did a lot of research and read that the lighter the bead color, the more effective it is, so go with the lighter beads! I got the 10"-11" size and it is perfect for DD. I didn't want it to be too long because I didn't want her to chew on it.
I went out and bought hippy beads at the first sign of teething. I even bought a necklace for myself. I was very excited about the whole thing. Yeah, I didn't notice a difference in either of us whether or not we wore the necklaces. Bummer!
I'm glad they worked for you, though! I think it's just not for everyone. Ah well, LO and I have cute matching necklaces at least.
