Teething is the most horrible, without a doubt. Historically, the teething necklace have been an epic failure in soothing the symptoms of teething. Sadly, so has just about every other gadget good manufacturers have desired to give fussy, miserable babies, and their similarly restless, miserable parents. It can be very difficult to find out when a child is teething since the symptoms include fever, runny nose, ear, and jaw pain. Often, we had to eliminate other, more serious ailments before we felt comfortable settling on the fact that the kids were "just teething"; a huge understatement, because it can be quite unpleasant, and may take months to make a single tooth. I don't know of any parent that isn't flipped out to provide alleviation for a child's pain, particularly when they're helpless to have any actual impact in relieving discomfort. We tried every method conceivable, mostly to no avail since many of the supposed cure-alls were nothing more than a bunch of hype, pure hooey, or both. Several lucky children exhibit few symptoms, if any at all. The most recent fad for desperate parents is teething jewelry or bling. I presume the difference in labeling is dependent mainly on how many of the increasingly popular diva personality traits parents like to instill in their child from the outset. Teething bling is available in several designs, but is quite often a donut shaped stone hung on a simple cord that is absolutely not representative of the diamond studded, gaudy assortment peddled to adults. Evidently, one of the main purposes for the bling version is to provide babies their own necklaces to tug on, and not Mom's, which I doubt has much effect in preventing babies from grabbing flashy jewelry. The teething necklace for mom, including the silver teething necklace, also offered in an assortment of shapes, and sizes, is likely to be more successful as it is worn by the mother, instead of the baby. Supposedly, this version, and the usually soft, crocheted nursing necklace "justifies" moms' reasons for wearing necklaces of any kind in a manner that is "safe." Really? I wasn't aware that moms had better have a darn good reason for desiring to get gussied up a bit to make the transition from feeling like a stain riddled, worn out, over-used dish rag, into getting back a little of the humanity (and slumber) we all lose when looking after a newborn. I've been on the receiving end of an unexpected grab for jewelry. I can say straightaway that the safety of my intact earlobes as well as capacity to breathe were in far more jeopardy than my capability to thwart any ominous, evil plans my accessories might have had to destroy my children's well-being. But, of all the teething necklace options, this might be the best in that babies are more likely to use it because of their need to taste test everything within reach. All babies has strong preferences for what is comforting to them, and what is not, however I have never known a child who desired necklace style teething relief. My son liked Otter pops. He could hold the lengthy plastic wrapper in a towel by himself, they taste really good, and the cold made his gums feel much better; I liked the small amount of mess created when he ate one. My youngest son despised them. My eldest disliked the frozen teething wrings; my youngest did, too. I can't really blame them since no one enjoys holding what amounts to an ice cube in their bare hands.
