Alleviate Your Baby's Agony With Teething Necklace
by Kevin Aiken
Teething is the most awful, without a doubt. Normally, the teething necklace had been an epic failure in soothing the symptoms of teething. Regrettably, so has nearly every other gadget good manufacturers have sought to offer restless, sad babies, and their equally fussy, unhappy parents.
It is usually very hard to figure out when a child is teething since the symptoms include fever, runny nose, ear, and jaw pain. Usually, we had to eliminate other, more severe ailments before we felt comfortable settling on the point that the kids were "just teething"; an enormous understatement, as it can be quite distressing, and might take months to produce a single tooth. I don't know of any parent that isn't flipped out to provide alleviation for a child's pain, specially when they're helpless to have any actual impact in alleviating discomfort. We tried every method conceivable, mostly to no avail given that many of the supposed cure-alls were nothing more than a bunch of buzz, pure hooey, or both. A few lucky children show few symptoms, if any at all.
The latest fad for desperate parents is teething jewelry or bling. I think the difference in labeling is dependent mainly on how many of the well known popularly diva personality traits parents like to instill in their child from the outset. Teething bling is available in several designs, but is most often a donut shaped stone hung on a simple cord that is certainly not representative of the diamond studded, showy assortment peddled to adults.
Apparently, one of the main purposes for the bling version is to grant babies their own necklaces to tug on, rather than Mom's, which I doubt has much effect in stopping babies from grabbing showy jewelry. The teething necklace for mom, as well as the silver teething necklace, also given in an assortment of shapes, and sizes, may very well be more successful as it is worn by the mother, instead of the baby. Apparently, this version, and the normally soft, crocheted nursing necklace "justifies" moms' causes for wearing necklaces of any kind in a way that is "safe." Really? I wasn't mindful that moms had better have a darn good reason for desiring to get gussied up a bit to do the transition from feeling like a stain riddled, worn out, over-used dish rag, into regaining a little of the humanity (and slumber) we all lose when looking after a newborn. I've been on the receiving end of an unexpected grab for jewelry. I could say without hesitation that the safety of my intact earlobes as well as capacity to breathe were in far more jeopardy than my ability to thwart any ominous, evil plans my accessories may have had to destroy my children's well-being. However, of all the teething necklace options, this might be the best in that babies are more likely to use it because of their desire to taste test everything within reach.
All babies has strong preferences for what is comforting to them, and what is not, however I have never known a child who preferred necklace style teething relief. My son liked Otter pops. He could hold the long plastic wrapper in a towel by himself, they taste really good, and the cold made his gums feel much better; I wanted the minimal amount of mess created when he ate one. My youngest son loathed them. My eldest disliked the frozen teething wrings; my youngest did, too. I can't really accuse them since no one enjoys grasping what amounts to an ice cube in their plain hands.
