Ahhh sarcasm, lowest form of wit.


Whether you believe in it or not, amber has been used for centuries in Europe, it is pretty much the norm to see teething babies and toddlers wearing amber teething necklaces in Europe so whether you liken it to snake oil or not, there must be something in it judging by how popular and widespread it is in certain countries.


I find it does not alone stop my little one's teething pain but it certainly does decrease the dribbling and red cheeks. So I use that along with Ashtons and Parsons granules.

I'd be less worried about the possiblity of strangulation and more worried about the corrosive effects of succinic acid, which is the 'amber oil' that is supposedly released. Although as the amber has to be heated to an awful lot higher than body temperature to release the oil, you're probably ok.


But they look pretty and make mums feel like they're doing something, which may be worth whatever the charla... oops, vendors charge for them.


There's lots of stuff that popular and widespread in certain countries that's still a load of rubbish. The french swear by hepatitic protectors and chloronics to maintain their health. Doesn't mean they have any effect at all, though.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
