When I’m out and about with the bubba, people often comment on the necklace he’s wearing.
It’s a rather fetching piece of jewellery that was given to him at the Baby Show in February by a lady from a company called Tearless Teething.
Justine is passionate about her product which she insists is a cure-all for any number of problems from acid reflux and colic to bronchitis and of course, the dreaded teething pains.
The secret?
Hazelwood, a tree that has natural healing properties discovered by Native Americans who put chips on their babies’ necks to soothe teething troubles. The idea is that the wood helps neutralize acidity irregularity in the body, balancing your system and relieving any associated symptoms.
Tearless Teething all-natural, organic necklaces and bracelets are strands of hazelwood carefully threaded together with beads. And don’t worry about safety – there’s a special catch that means the necklace will simply snap off if it’s pulled too tight.
The effects of the necklace on babies are meant to last anywhere from three to six months. Jed has been wearing his for two months without ever taking it off (you only have to remove it if you go swimming).
I have to say up front that Jed is a naturally chilled out baby, even at the worst of times. His first teeth came through without too much fuss. But before we tried the necklace, he did have a couple of bad nights with raised temperature, ear pulling and crying we couldn’t soothe.
Since he’s had the necklace he’s cut more teeth including his molars on the right side. I can honestly say that it’s been a relatively painless process (well, at least for mama).
The necklace doesn’t stop him from grizzling occasionally or wanting to bite down hard on almost everything in sight. But he’s not had any excessive crying, feverish episodes, drooling, nappy rash or other symptoms that I’d attribute to teething.
All in all, Jed seems happy with his necklace and I think you’ll agree he looks extra handsome too.
**Special Offer**
If you’d like to give Tearless Teething a try to help your baby or child through teething, colic or other issues associated with excess acidity, you’re in luck.

Oh, Me, me, me! We have a terrible time with teething in this house, helped, admittedly by the Amber necklace Kyra wears, but still! I’d happily try anything – and will definitely help spread the word with anything natural!!
P.S. There’s a chocolate giveaway ending on my blog soon. Stop in if you’re interested!
what an attrsctively novel idea. some kids have such a hard time teething and anything would be an asset.
This looks so neat! I would love to put this on my daughter so she’ll stop crying. :-(
Hi Luschka, ooh a chocolate giveaway. I’ll be right over!
You’re right Shari. Thanks for feedback.
Welcome Elana, it just might help her out. Good luck!
What a CLEVER idea!!
We’d love it! *crosses fingers*
Hey Muthering Heights, it is a smart product. Good luck.
Hi Christa, thanks for taking part. Good luck :-)
I’d would love to try this, in fact will try anything to help him through this awful trial… Mother nature… what a rotter!!
Do you suppose they go through all this pain in order that they will love their teeth all the more at the end of the process, like giving birth?
Ha ha Georgina, who knows? It’s an interesting theory! Good luck :-)
I don’t care if that necklace was made out of baby crack, if it stops the teething trauma that we are currently enduring I’m down for it.
Found you via SITS
LOL Eclipsed, sorry you’re going through such pains. Good luck!
This is so clever. Hope it’s a great help with teething!
It’s amazing all the neat things that are out for babies these days!! I wanted to come by and say thanks for helping me celebrate my SITS day on Monday!!
What an interesting concept. Thanks for stopping by Sugar Tails. Happy SITS Saturday.
(And sorry I couldn’t include overseas guests in my giveaway.)
Hi Cecilia, thanks for coming by and good luck.
Hi Jen, you’re welcome and thanks for returning the visit.
Hi GlowinGirl, nice to have you over here and let us know when you do have a global giveaway! :-)
This sounds great! I’,m already wondering when the first tooth is going to come in and I’d like to be ready for it.
Hi Helen, first tooth looks sweet but feels painful! Good luck.
We are going through the terrible teething time too plus baby girl gets mild eczema on occasion so, this necklace would be a welcome win!
Hi Teresha, sounds like you need it. Good luck!
I have a friend that swears by these necklaces!
Hi Valerie, I think they’re great. Actually my son’s been wearing his for more than a year. It’s practically part of his body now. Think it’s time to get a replacement!
I have just found out about this necklace. I would love to try it on my little girl please. She gets very upset dummy’s, I’m thinking colic. :-( and has now started dribbling. She has screaming fits and all I want to do is soothe her. She was born with 3 kidneys so is on antibiotics since birth, these give her such a tummy ache I’d do anything to ease the pain.
Fingers crossed for me.
Hi Nicola, so sorry to hear about your little girl’s troubles. I’m afraid this competition is from last year, but since I’ve had a couple of other enquiries I’ll try and contact the makers and see if they’re interested in running another offer. Do let me know if you decide to fork out for the necklace – I don’t remember it being very expensive. My little one still wears his, it’s pretty much part of his neck by now! Good luck in your search and best wishes for your little girl.
