I have a class in 30 minutes, so I apologize for the post and run, but I'll check back in with y'all this evening!  Thanks in advance!!

Anyone have experience with amber teething necklaces/bracelets/anklets?  Good, bad, not helpful/not hurtful?  

I think DS might be working on his second year molars (yes, he's only 19 months, but he's always been an early teether) and he's been totally miserable the last few days.  He's also been sick with one thing or another since mid-December, switched rooms at daycare two weeks ago, and seems to have developed a particularly wicked case of separation anxiety from mommy, but I also get the sense that he's in pain.  So, even though the scientist in me is a huge skeptic about the supposed utility of amber, I'm willing to try it if it might help him.  I also have some concerns about putting a string around his neck, so I'm much more inclined to try the anklet version.  Any experiences with this specifically  vs. the necklace? 

Thanks for any insights ladies!!

    A has worn an amber necklace since she was 6 months. Her first tooth was s total surprise to us. Her first 4 teeth came in in pairs, the rest all came in 4 at a time. She was great, hardly fussy, never lost sleep.

    My cousin swore by it for her two boys and several ladies here have given them great reviews.

    An ankle version may help, but it's supposed to be worn as close to the site of discomfort as possible.

    I got mine from https://hyenacart.com/stores/inspiredbyfinn/
