Becoming a parent is one of the most amazing, memorable times of our lives. Watching them smile and laugh for the first time brings great joy but when your baby is in pain and suffering from the effects of teething it can be an emotional experience for all.

Teething is one of your babies significant milestones. It is common to see signs from as early as three months old but you may not see a tooth for many months later. The signs and symptoms are different for each child but some of the most common symptoms are red cheeks, drooling, biting and gnawing on what ever bub can get their hands onto and irritablility.

As parents we have so many questions - which teeth will come through first? When should I expect my babies first tooth?, and the most common question - how can I help my baby through teething?

With very little relief on the market it can make you feel helpless. Whilst teething gels and paracetamol are effective it is not recommended to use these products long term or too often. Lucky for mums and dads, there is a natural product available - an Amber teething necklace.

An Amber teething necklace is a completely natural non toxic teething remedy designed to be worn by babies and toddlers. The baltic amber beads are known to have therapeudic and anti-inflamitory properies including as analgesic known to help relieve teething aches and pains, drooling and soothe inflamed gums.

A Baltic amber teething necklace is a popular choice of natural remedy in Australia and are available at many leading chemists. Parents are raving about them and they are fast becoming a popular accessory for both boy and girl babies. They have been used for centuries in places like Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

When deciding on which amber necklace to buy it is important to buy a genuine Baltic amber teething necklace. Balitc Amber means the amber was mined from places surrounding the Baltic Sea such as Poland and Lithuania. These counties produce more than 90% of the worlds Baltic Amber.

Every Baltic amber teething necklace should come with a certified Certificate of Authenticity to ensure it is real Baltic Amber. It is most imporant that the amber beads are individually knotted so that in the unlikely case the necklace breaks only one bead may fall off and they will not be scattered. These days many of the Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces for babies come fitted with different style clasps that join the necklace together. The safest clasp is the â??pull apartâ?? clasp which has recently been approved for itâ??s ability to pull apart under pressure. Only few retailers stock this clasp including Mile Stones Amber - www.milestonesamber.com.au.

Buying the real thing.....

Although uncommon in Australia there are imitation amber teething necklaces being sold on the commercial market. There are a few simple things you can do to ensure that what you are buying real amber. Baltic amber should not have any taste, should not be easy to scratch with just a fingernail and should give out a bluish glow when under an Ultraviolet light. If it doesn't do any of those things, it is likely to be Copal which is also made from tree resin but a completely different kind of tree to the one that produces amber.
