Hey
Not entirely sure how mumsnet works so apologies if this thread exists and I just can't find it.
My son is 4 months old. He was born with a full tooth so it's unknown if his teeth bother him as it's likely all he's ever known. However, he has been chewing everything in sight, dribbling etc... so I got him an amber anklet on the advice of friends who swore by it.
I put it on him 4 days ago. For the last 3 nights for about half an hour around 7.30/8 he's screamed uncontrollably. I've never heard anything like it. The first night he had diarrhoea. The 2nd night nothing seemed obviously wrong and he stopped himself and tonight he was sick. We've also noticed he's generally been more grumpy and unsettled during the day.
We've been very lucky with our son, he's not a sicky baby (could count on one hand how many times he's been sick) and he's generally quite settled so this screaming seems to have come out of nowhere.
I totally accept our bubble may just have burst and it could be caused by other factors.
Just because of the timing, I'm wondering if it could be connected to the anklet and if anyone else has experienced this. I can't find anything online about adverse side effects. This may be because they don't exist.
I've taken the anklet off and I suppose time will tell. But, if it's not that, I'd want to use the anklet! So, just looking to see if anyone else has had a similar experience?!
Thanks in advance
