Safety is our #1 priority at BalticEssentials.com. While amber necklaces offer natural teething support, they must be used with care. Here are the top safety guidelines every parent should follow.
1. Supervise At All Times: Never leave a baby unattended while wearing the necklace. Always remove it during naps and sleep.
2. Use the Correct Size: Our necklaces are sized for babies, typically 11-12 inches. They should fit snugly but not tight, and should never reach the babyβs mouth.
3. Knotting Between Beads: Each bead on our necklaces is individually knotted. This prevents all beads from coming loose if the strand breaks.
4. Breakaway Clasp: Our necklaces use pop clasps that release with pressure, preventing choking or strangulation. Most of our necklace come in the screw clasp option, unless specified as POP. Please verify before purchasing.
5. Never Chew the Necklace: Amber is not meant to be chewed. It works through skin contact. If your child chews jewelry, consider an amber anklet instead.
6. Inspect Regularly: Check the necklace for signs of wear or damage. Replace it if the string frays or beads crack.
With the right precautions, amber necklaces are a safe, soothing option for teething discomfort. For added peace of mind, consider using them only during supervised daytime play.
