Amber Teething Necklace Review

068
I’ve been doing some research on the Amber Teething necklaces for a couple months now. I really wanted one for B, but didn’t really want to spend the money, just in case it didn’t work. My Secret Sister sent one as a gift, and I was so excited when I opened up the box. He’s been using it for about a month now, so I can give you a review on it so far. Here is a little info about Amber and what it does:
When ballistic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acids and absorbed into the skin. (This was copied from Inspired By Finn click here to visit there site)
Baby B received his necklace from Inspired By Finn and it’s consider the 4 different round, which comes in 5 different lengths for youth. He’s been wearing the necklace every day. I remove it at bath time, then don’t put it back on him until he wakes up in the morning. The necklace is close to his neck, so when it’s on, he doesn’t even realize it’s on. I thought he would try to pull it, and play with it, but he hasn’t. The first day he wore it, he seemed to drool a lot less. He has yet to cut any teeth, but tends to have signs of teething at times. He is always mouthing and drooling, so I was happy to see that the drooling was less. I have had to give him Tylenol twice this month, because he was really fussy and crying. I will say I haven’t seen any drastic changes since wearing the necklace. But we also haven’t had any teeth cut. I’m going to have him continue to wear it, because even if it doesn’t work, he looks so stinkin’ cute!

Eating like a champ!

We have been eating solids for a full month and it's going great! I'm probably one of pickiest eaters you'll ever meet. So I've been making an effort to offer B everything, even if I think it's gross! I started doing all the purees myself, and love it. To me, it seems like it's way more cost effective then buying baby food. We skipped over rice cereal, due to the fact that it's not a nutritional as fruits and veggies. So far we have had squash, sweet potato, carrots, bananas, peas, pears, plums, and green beans. I've found green beans and peas to be the hardest to make. The consistency tends to be a little more chunky because of the skins. I make a batch of 1 or 2 different fruits or veggies. Each batch is 1 full ice cube tray frozen, then stored in freezer bags. I've found so much helpful information on www.wholesomebabyfood.com. They tell you everything you need to know about making, storing, and feeding your baby.
 Today I was at Target and I was strolling down the baby aisle, and I stopped and was checking out the Ella's Kitchen organic baby food. They had so many wonderful fruit and veggie combinations. I decided to try 2 since I had some trouble getting the right consistency with some of my purees. I picked up spinach, apple, rutabaga, which Bobby loved, and broccoli, pears, peas. They were a little pricey, about $1.79 each, but perfect to stick in your diaper bag, or to give your little one different flavors to try.
