I got a beautiful Mum & Baby Amber Necklace set from http://www.wildsheep.co.uk. Everybody comments on how cute we look with matching necklaces lol I think it really helped reduce his drooling and gum inflammation. I was really desperate as he wasn't sleeping, I ordered the necklace just before 4pm and it arrived the next morning! very speedy delivery (and I only paid 50p for delivery!) so that was a bonus!

Amber is fossilized or partially fossilized tree resin, and various types contain up to ~8% succinic acid. Succinic acid is known to be biologically active. Whether or not enough succinic acid is transdermally absorbed to have an anti-inflammatory or analgesic effect is not known. xx

I'm with Taper. There is absolutely no evidence that these necklaces work. If your child is wearing them 24/7 then there is almost certainly an increased risk of strangulation / choking, albeit a small one.


As quoted earlier "...based on the complete lack of plausibility on any level of efficacy any potential for harm, however small, must tip the balance of this equation away from the use of this product.

....reading that back, I realise that it could sound OTT, to be clear any risk are so small as to be neglible. Of course, if you want to spend a small amount of money on a necklace for your child, then it's your choice. IMO though (any based on the absence of any evidence or plausible theory of efficacy), it's extremely unlikely to have any health benefits.

    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
    • Hate to admit it but I'm a absolute sex machine🤩
    • Hello. Did you hear any further on this? Was there anyone at the council who was helpful to speak to? I am in a similar boat. 
    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.
