I had a few friends ask some questions about the amber necklaces after my last post on them. One of them wanted to know if we keep them on all the time. The answer is: Yes, we do! With Maia, we kept it on through baths, never took it off once. This time around though, I learned you are not supposed to get it wet and try to keep lotions off it because it will mess with the natural oils of the necklace. So now we're taking it off at bathtime and putting it back on when skin's dry. This is no big deal since we do baths every other night.
That leads me to the next question - do we let them sleep in them? And again, yep, we do! I'm comfortable with this for a few reasons. Since my children are so chubby, it tucks under their fat rolls, so they can't grab it easily. If they did grab it, and happen to pull on it, each bead is individually knotted so if it broke, the beads would not scatter everywhere. Also, because we put it on them at a young age, it sort of becomes "part of them" - they're just used to it!
Do you have any more questions about amber necklaces? Let me know! P.S. Isn't Maia silly? That's how she's been taking pictures lately!
Kieran and my Asher have matching necklaces! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh! I didn't know I'm not supposed to get it wet. Good to know!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I've had my baltic amber necklace for just under a week now. I ordered it because three months ago I was in a really bad accident (high speed), and got level 3 whiplash. Basically, I tore all the ligaments in my neck, but didn't get permanent injury.
I've been caring for the injury well (regular chiropractic, massage, medication, stretches, muscle relaxants, a TENS unit, etc.), but I've still had a lot of stiffness and occasional pain. Since I've been wearing the necklace, though, the pain is gone and the stiffness has been greatly reduced. I can wake up and be stiff every where else in my spine and hips, but my neck will be moving just fine.
And it's pretty, too!!
He is so adorable Brittany! Looking more and more like Josh and Maia, I just love her. She is such a sweetie!! We got our necklace in the mail the other day and I am so excited about it, thanks for sharing the post and all the information about it...you are such a good mama!
