These necklaces claim to be great for teething babies, and allegedly the babies don't realise they're teething.

Naturally I'm a bit sceptical and am wandering if these are similar to the power band bracelets that were the rage a couple of years ago, but proven to be nothing more than a placebo.
Can stuff like this have a placebo affect on babies?


That WCH teething gel is an elixir, as others have mentioned.

Have you tried soft classical music in the background?

Are you sure that teething is really the issue though? (At 6 months, the sharp teeth are the first through and in my own experience, these were straightforward. Wait until you have to deal with molars coming through.....That's why I wonder if teething is all of the problem here)...there might be other issues, like lactose intolerance, ear infection(s), wind, or if he/she has just started solids, the bowels may be adjusting to the need to absorb new foodstuffs and not just milk. Sometimes, (sadly), a combination of all these things is just what every parent dreads!

Wear them. I only came across them today, and for 20 bucks I'm seriously considering trying it. I just don't get how or why they work.
Might bite the bullet then do a report in the test dummies thread! :lol:
Sounds like more "Naturopathic" nuttery to me.
If you can't absorb something from it it can't do anything - there are no natural healing fields or vibrations in things like that.
It is a bit like the old Pyramid scam.

Although a pearl necklace is a good way of avoiding having more children.
