Is an "Amber Necklace" effective for helping with teething?
My daughter seems to be starting to teethe. She's 7 weeks old and hasn't quite figured out teething toys and we don't want to start with drugs or other medications. We've had numerous friends suggest to us getting an amber necklace/bracelet for my daughter to wear. I'm feeling somewhat sceptical about the whole succinic acid thing. Wondering if anyone here has had any experience with them or links to any science/studies behind them.
Thanks!

These necklaces do not work to help teething. Skeptics.SE had an identical question and it was determined that there is no reliable evidence backing the claim.
I've read and seen on T.V., information that says they definitely do not work.
The anaesthetic properties in the amber do not come into effect until the amber becomes super heated, and that's not going to happen in your child's mouth!
I would also be very concerned about the choking hazard they present, and the risk of strangulation they cause.
But that's just my 2 cents...
