Wearing Baltic amber close to ones skin will help calm a baby without resorting to drugs. Natural anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties of Baltic amber are perfect to soothe teething, or colicky babies. In Europe, amber, a natural analgesic, is commonly worn by babies and young children to help with teething difficulties. The amber is said to reduce inflammation caused by teething when worn close to the skin and promote a stronger immunity to common infection as well as assisting general well-being.These necklaces are meant to be worn and not chewed, please use caution if child is putting this in his mouth. 

The approximate length of amber baby necklaces is 12.6 inches or 32 centimeters. The string is knotted between each bead so should the necklace break (which it should if necessary), all of the beads will not be scattered.
