Best Teething Necklace Of 2020

When it comes to watching your child go through teething, you wish there was something you could do to help. You cannot do much to ease his/her discomfort. It is a battle they have to go through on their own.One of the ways you can help however is by giving your baby the best teething necklace you can find.

Why a teething necklace?

Teething necklaces can offer a sanitary option to handheld teethers, and that can be a time-saver for mothers. What happens with a teething ring is – when you give your child a teething ring, and he drops it on the floor in a few seconds. Then you need to wash it before you can give it back to him. It can become a never-ending game for your child – he drops it and expects you to pick up after him.That is the best part about a teething necklace. Since you wear it around your neck, your baby cannot drop it, and you will not have to worry about how much bacteria he is eating when he chews on it. Also, you never have to scramble about to find your baby’s teether. When you are wearing it around your neck, it is always easy to locate.

The hazards of letting babies wear teething necklaces

There are two types of teething necklaces – those for babies to wear, and those for moms to wear.Avoid those that made babies wear. They may look cute, but you may endanger your child’s life with them. They can cause strangulation or choking.To minimize the risk of letting your child wear a teething necklace, you can:

• Take off the necklace when your baby is sleeping
• Always check the cord of the necklace to make sure it is not fraying. You do not want it to break and have your baby choking on the beads.
• Keep a close eye on your child when he is wearing the necklace.

The other kind of teething necklaces is for mothers to wear while their babies chew on them. This removes the risk of strangulation. You still need to be vigilant while your baby chews on the necklace.

What you look for when buying a teething necklace:

What the material is made of

There are different kinds of materials used to make teething necklaces, for instance, amber, wood, plastic, and silicone. Sometimes you buy what you think is an amber necklace only to find it is either glass or plastic.

If the material is safe enough for you to be comfortable using it

Some teething necklaces are made of materials such as wood, used in one way or another for centuries. If you are buying a wooden necklace, makes sure it is untreated or unfinished wood for extra safety. Not all materials used in teething necklaces have proven safe for babies, so you need to use your judgment when buying a teething necklace.

Effectiveness

Be sure the claims people make about teething necklaces and their materials are true. Amber beads, for example, have not proven to help babies more than any other material.

Alternative ways to soothe your baby’s sore gums

If you have decided teething necklaces are not right for you and your baby, you can always get fabric for the baby to chew on, use ice for short periods on baby’s gums, or give pain relief medicine.

Conclusion

Necklaces that use wood products are a clear winner. People have used wood for centuries, and it is a better alternative to using synthetic materials like plastic and rubber – in part because those substances are used to make baby products like pacifiers.

In light of this, the winner of this review goes to the Barvinok Teething necklace because of the beaded variety, and the fact that the wooden necklace can withstand chewing from your child when the gums are sore.
