Sleeping with Amber necklace on - Would you?

[Jewels06]

I just ordered an amber necklace for my DS who is almost 8 months and realized that it says not to let them sleep in it. I know I've heard of some Moms being okay letting their LO's sleep in them. I just wondered how horrible it would be to let him sleep in it, if it's right up near his neck. It seems like sleeping time is when his teeth bother him the most. TIA!

Cecilia sleeps in hers. However, she also sleeps swaddled, so she can't mess with it.

edit: She cosleeps too, and I wake up when she so much as squirms, so yeah, I really don't feel like it's going to be a problem. Might not have it on her at night anymore when she outgrows swaddling, though.

I always take my daughter's necklace off before bed, just to be safe. I think it's recommended that it should be worn under supervision. But if you want to keep it on him at night and are worried about safety, you could always put it on his ankle instead.

Both of mine have slept in theirs, but we co-sleep so I wasn't worried about them catching it on something and me not being right there.

My DD hasn't taken hers off since she was 6 months old. She's almost 4 now! She says it's special and she doesn't want to take it off ever.

Her's is designed to break if it gets caught on something and it's knotted around each bead. We co-sleep and there wasn't much it could possibly get hung on in our bed, so I've never worried about her sleeping in it. I do make her take off her longer, bulky play necklaces for sleeping though.

11 mo dd sleeps in hers and has since we got it (when she was 2 mo). We co-sleep, it feels safe to me.

Personally, I would not let my baby wear it to sleep in. I would worry about her getting her hands or something caught up in it.

My daughter is nearly one and hasn't had hers off since she was 4 months. We cosleep, so I don't really worry about it at night. They're generally made to break if they get really caught on something anyway, although you should check what the maker of yours says just to be sure.

I co-sleep to; I think I'm just paranoid!

My DD is 2.5 and has been wearing hers since she was 4mo. We co-sleep. Her necklace is knotted between each bead. It has rarely been off her neck. In our situation I don't see it as a really dangerous thing. Nothing in life is 100% risk free and I haven't seen anything during my DD's experience of wearing her necklace mostly 24/7/365 to make me concerned enough to take it off. If I felt it was dangerous I'd take it off immediately. To each their own, you have to decide if you are comfortable with it for your own child.

Both of my kids have gotten theirs around four moonths and they don't come off.
