Hi, I haven't tried the necklaces, but when mine were babies Ashton & Parsons Teething Powders worked wonders! HTH

Nelsons homeopathic teething powders too

The A&P ones gave my dd really putrid wind ...Hadn't heard of Nelsons though.

My Ds wears one. He's 6.5mths, and has 2 teeth. As he's my first, I can't definitely say that it's working, as I don't know what babies teething are normally like. But if they're normally constantly whingey, chewie and beside themselves with teething, then it definitely works .

If he's very crotchety (rarely) and I've ruled out hunger/tired/bored/etc... then I use the boots homeopathic powders on him. He gets excited when he sees the pack, so they must work too.

look nice, VERY much doubt they work. But we used them.

I guess it's worth a try, then you can report back if it's worked, and then we'll all know

not outrageously expensive either - let us know if it works!

H'mm ... tempting. Are they meant to be just worn though (as Mrs B's advert seems to suggest), or chewed? My friends dd chews hers.

anything you put near a teething baby wil get chewed - I reckon they're designed for it

Hope so - don't want her swallowing the beads. Right then, I'm going for it! Thanks all.
