Penelope has been wearing an amber teething necklace since she was 4.5 months old. Its suppossed to help with teething pain. How much it is helping I don't really know. We rely heavily on Hyland's Teething Tablets and Tylenol on the worst days. Apparently, the lighter the shade of amber, the more healing properties it has, so I am thinking about getting her another one. Because after last night and Miss P, crying unconsably from 2-4a, we need to bring out the big guns. Maybe I will start having her wear her necklace AND this anklet! How freaking cute are these?!?
Want to get in shape after baby? If you are local Tallahasseean there is a new workout series in town at Good Friends Fitness. It looks awesome, check it out!
Did you know that even organic canned foods have BPA in them (including organic formula cans!) I learned this from Sarah, at the Healthy Home Economist blog. I love this blog! I feel like I have something from hers in my Link Love every week. Save me some effort, and go ahead a subscribe, its so worth it!
Here is another great blog post of hers about giving babies cod liver oil. See what I mean? She will blow your mind with the information on her blog. If you think you eat healthy, and your baby eats healthy, you might want to think again and check out her site!!
This week I ordered some sippy cups (BPA free of course) for Penelope as part of our game plan for the Big Switch. This is the kind I ended up ordering. Hope they get here soon!
This is a cup I want to get when Penelope is older. I LOVE that you can use an 8 oz canning jar with the lid and sleeve. Genius!
P.S. If you are in need of sippy cups and like these, please buy through these links and send a few pennies my way!
My cousin-in-law swears by the amber teething necklaces! Good luck
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the anklet. The necklace is a nuisance while nursing her. Hylands has been our BFF too.

Is the sippy one with a valve? We've not had any luck with those but my almost-11 month old LOVES my water bottle that has a soft straw.
ReplyDeleteHoping your yoga classes go well. As far as I could tell, they were all during hours that us 9 to 5'ers are at work? Maybe someday!
I wish I had known about the lighter the color the better..guess we'll have to get another :) Do people say the anklets work as well as the necklace?
ReplyDeleteCarolyn...I don't actually know! I want to say it doesn't have one. It STILL hasn't gotten here, but when it does, I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, no weekend or evening classes. So sorry! When I had the studio, and had teachers on staff, I always accommodated the working outside the home mama's. but with just me, its too difficult. Anyway you could come on your lunch break?
Ali..I haven't heard anything, but I would think they would, because it works by the amber touching the skin and the oils of the amber seeping into the skin, so I don't see why it wouldn't work just as good, but can't speak from experience...yet, anyway! I want one!
ReplyDeleteStephanie,
ReplyDeleteI ordered one from Amazon (following your link, BTW - usually I follow Kellymom but I wanted to give you some change!). I might have ruined Graham to all straw cups with valves bc he drinks out of my water bottle with the soft straw all of the time and has gotten used to how easy it is. He won't work now! :)
I can't push it with my lunch hour....the University is already flexible with my arrival and departure times. Sigh. Someday.
Best,
Carolyn
Day one with the new cup went great. Day 2 and this morning, not as much. Sigh. Every day is a new world. Someday. Hope P loves her new sippy.
ReplyDeleteHazelwood is also supposed to help ease the pain of teething. My sweet babe, who BTW has the same birthday as yours, has a Hazelwood necklace which is adorable. Worth a try...
ReplyDeleteNever heard of hazelwood helping before, good to know, thanks!
ReplyDeleteand how cool an another 11.11 birthday!
