Ben's Magic Beads
Well, they're not magic but they sure work like it! A while ago I came across a website that was talking about "baby teething necklaces". I thought it was something that they chewed on to help their teeth... I read further and found that it is actually a necklace made from Baltic Amber - it HAS to be Baltic Amber from the Baltic Sea for it to work. It has a natural component called "succinic acid" in it that when worn against baby's skin releases a natural calming agent. It is all natural and safe and can be used for teething, colic and acid reflux (in adults too). I thought it was a bit gimmicky as I am not too into "natural" and "homeopathic" remedies, but for $26, I thought "what would it hurt to try".
It came in the mail today - and just at the right time. My poor little man has 5 or 6 teeth coming in at once - Yikes! I put it on him this afternoon, and by this evening I realized that he had not drooled or fussed once since it was on. We were at my mom's today visiting and he did not stop with the drooling - as soon as he was wearing his necklace, he was happy and drool free! All I have to say is... MAGIC! We will try it again tomorrow and see how it works! Its kinda cute - I told Dave that he reminds me of Bam-Bam from the Flinstones :)

This is the back of it. The clasp is two plastic pieces that you have to screw together. If it is pulled on with enough force, it will break away for safety, but the individual Amber pieces will not fall off because they are tied on individually.
