Amber Teething Necklaces

Baltic amber teething necklaces are used around the world to help soothe the inflammation and crankiness that often comes with the teething stage. At Sweetbottoms we carry a range of styles– from translucent yellows to milky oranges to the darkest browns. Some say one shade is better than another, but it’s been our experience that they all work well!

Here’s what a few SBB Moms said about their experience:

“We use one and only once have I noticed him having teething pain–I think. I like that I can avoid all sorts of Oragel-like products. We got the unpolished kind because I thought it looked more manly. He hasn’t even noticed that he is wearing it yet!” {Jessica}

“It’s helped with drooling since day one! Anytime it’s off, there’s a puddle on her shirt. And since drooling made her reflux worse when she was little, this was a huge bonus for us! We have the Multi Colored Raw one.” {Erika}

“I got the polished one for Claire when she first starting getting her 2 year molars. She was a mess and within 24 hours of having the necklace on she was back to normal. The rest of the molars came in and she never experienced the discomfort she had before the necklace. I only wish I got it for her sooner. I’m a believer!” {Christy}

So how do they work? Real Baltic Amber is actually fossilized tree resin, not a stone or rock. It contains high levels of Succinic Acid, which are released when it is worn next to the warmth of your skin. Succinic Acid is beneficial for humans because of it’s ability to reduce pain and inflammation and boost energy and wellness. In the case of teething, the necklace (or some people choose bracelets or anklets) should be touching the baby’s skin. It should be long enough that the baby feels comfortable, but not so long that it can be put in the mouth. We sell a variety of sizes from 10-10.5″ and up. If you stop in the store, we can try them on to get a perfect fit.

Did you know we now carry an expanded selection of adult amber necklaces as well? They aren’t just for teething!

Many adults wear amber for neck and jaw pain, headaches, or general health issues. They can help with braces, too!

All the necklaces and the infant/child-sized bracelets have the same closure system. (The adult bracelets are stretchy with no closure.) The small plastic piece screws in to ensure a secure hold. It’s also easily replaced if it becomes loose or comes out.

I don’t think a day goes by that I’m at the store and at least one customer comes in for some amber. Stop in and check out our selection!
