I'm not sure if Graby is teething yet. However, he does seem to enjoy putting everything in his mouth, chewing on it and covering it with slobber.
Here are two of his favorite chew toys:
Mouser the cat.
Buttin the daddy.
Before little cub was born, I did a bunch of cloth diaper research (What does this have to do with teething you might ask? - I'll get there) and as you might imagine some of the cloth diaper using mamas are into other "natural" things. I ran across a lot of message board posts about amber teething necklaces and their help with teething.
Amber is also known to reduce inflammation of the throat, ear and stomach and to fight irritation, infections and respiratory disease as it dramatically improves the body’s immunity. Natural amber beaded necklaces are a completely non-invasive remedy for side effects associated with teething, such as lack of appetite, upset tummies, ear ache, fevers and colds. Baltic amber is also a natural analgesic that will calm your child and is recognized by allopathic medicine specialists as antispasmodic and anti-fever. Many adults report improvement of arthritis discomfort in their hands when wearing amber on the wrists.
Well, I thought it was worth trying (even though little cub isn't moody or feverish and doesn't seem to have any of the other teething symptoms - except the chewing and slobbering) so I bought one for Graby and we got it in the mail today.
Here's my conversation with Buttin when he got home from work:
Buttin: He looks like a caveman.
Me: No, it's cute. One of the other mamas in my group has one for her son.
Buttin: Is she a wizard?
Me: No. (For the record, Heather is an accountant.)
Buttin: When do we start buying him crystals?
That's my Buttin, the funny smart-ass.
Here's Graby modeling his necklace, I'm not quite sure how much he likes it.

For the love of everything holy please take that necklace off of Cash. Do I have to do everything around here?
ReplyDeleteAmber is incredible and unmatched in its natural healing powers - and not just for children. People have used amber for centuries for arthritis, respiratory infections including chronic asthma, as a stress reliever that interacts with the body's nervous system and much, much more. Researchers and scientists have expounded on the exceptional ability of Baltic Amber to thwart infection and enhance immunity. Today, everyone is turning more toward homeopathic medicines - Amber is at the top of the list in it's healing abilities. Do you own research and you will amazed at what Baltic Amber can do.
ReplyDeleteIf you take it off of Cash, can I have it? It matches some of my clothes. Plus I have arthritis in my hands - help!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I have to agree with your hubby...the necklace does make him look like a cave baby. And those pics of Cash using him as a teething toy may actually be Cash giving kisses! That's how Garrison gives kisses :) Sooo sweet!
ReplyDeleteLooks like your anonymous reader is an amber salesperson. I love it when people say that "__ (fill in the blank with your choice of herb/crystal/natural remedy) has been used for centuries to cure ___ (fill in blank with your choice of ailment) because centuries ago people only lived to be about 30 years old so you have to wonder how useful any of their remedies were at that time.
ReplyDeleteWith that said an amber necklace seems pretty harmless to me but if you start bleeding that kid with leeches I am calling Social Services. Or YouTube. Oh, who am I kidding, if you put leeches on Cash I will be so grossed out that I won't be able to look at him again. Not his fault but that is the way I roll.
Love you!!
