Amber Necklace

[lovemykidstoo]

That is pretty long. I would remove. Isn’t the point of them that they are supposed to be in contact with the skin? Can’t have that if it’s long enough to hang over her shirt.

I have a cousin in another state that swear by them. I never knew what they were even until I finally asked what that ugly necklace her daughter had on in every single picture was for.. that child is 5 now.

Yea i can almost lift it straight off her head without unhooking.

That's funny you almost asked what the ugly necklace was

"What are your thoughts?"

No.

Just no.

Hate these things! I indulged a mom once but had to remove it for sleep all the time. So annoying. If the child had been here every day I woukd say no way.

There is enough liability in child care as it is.
Why add more?

It bothers me that people either neglect their kids' real medical needs or add something unnecessary that's dangerous. Like, why should I have to check to see if you've strapped a cord around your child's neck?

I had one family who kept a pink salt lamp in their toddler's bedroom (he used it as a salt lick. . . it was all melted), and somebody told me that my kid's peanut allergy was due to vaccinating her and I should cure it with colloidal silver. Non-religious people call the "alternative" practices woo but I've just started calling it witchcraft for the shock value.

That's funny, that's almost exactly what my husband said about having a cord around the neck. I mean seriously what are people thinking? The thing is, if she truly thinks amber necklaces help, then why would you have it hanging on the outside of her shirt like a regular necklace? IMO that's just stupid.

I can't believe your story about the dcb that licked the salt lamp. Good God!!! Unbelievable.

Licensing doesn't allow them here.....

True but I'm legally licensed exempt...

I use two of them on myself, and they do work. But if you’re not comfortable with them, or your regs are against it, that’s fine too.

When my daughter outgrew the need I started wearing them as bracelets in the winter to help with my arthritis....and they totally work.

AMEN to this!

This is my dcg. See how long it is?

Oh hell no... none of mine are anywhere near that... in fact one wears an Amber bracelet on his ankle. Not one of my babes has ever played with theirs in all the years of done baby care

[lovemykidstoo]

Oh did I mention that this little darling is the one that her mother talked to my other dcg about her giving her a cold? Some may remember that post about parents blaming other children for their illness.

I would be fine with an anklet. I'm not so much worried about her choking on the beads, but rather this becoming a noose.

Did you notice the picture of her though I posted above? It's way too long and it's not even touching her skin. Doesn't it have to touch her skin to work?

Yes it does. I don’t allow them if they are big enough to put in their mouths while wearing.

I think that is the key.

You have to really believe they do work.

Same for essential oils.
Those that use them truly believe they work for them and they probably do.

Kind of like religion and prayer.
Those that believe prayer works, truly believe in it.

Our minds are very powerful....
