ChewBeads Review and Giveaway

Seeing as I am a "holistic" or "crunchy" mom as some say. I love to find all things to help my child with their issues without medicating them. When my son started to teethe, I first turned to Baltic Amber for the hard parts of teething, but Jack still needed something to chew on. I find that most all teethers out there were hard for him to get into his mouth and chew on, let along hold onto. I came across Chewbeads®. I was at first not to sure on how you can wear something like Chewbeads® and have it safe for my child. 

When I received mine in the mail I was taken by the actual product, it was and was not what I expected all at the same time. They felt so cool! When Jack got up from his nap I was sure to give them to him right away to see his reaction. He as a typical 9 month old(at the time) looked at them and then straight into his mouth they went. I loved them, Emma, his sister wanted to wear them as she assumed they were for her. Jack got a bit mean and actually whipped her with them...ooops. (she knew he was sorry of course) I loved that I could wear them anywhere and no one knew that it was meant for my son to actually chew on. During a weekly run to the store a woman actually became concerned that I was allowing him to chew on my necklace. I explained to her what they were and she was amazed, I pulled up the Chewbeads® site on my HTC phone so she could see! 

As of now Jack wont even let me wear them as he loves them so much! I love that he can just chew away, its easy for him and he seems happy with them :)
(information from Chewbeads® website in about)
The idea for Chewbeads began in 2009 shortly after the birth of my son. Like most babies, he loved to put everything in his mouth and my necklaces were a favorite. Like most moms, I didn't feel comfortable letting him chew on them, with concern that they might break or have unwanted chemicals. As a veteran of the fashion industry, I had an amazing collection of necklaces and bracelets, so with those as my inspiration, I set out to create soft, non-toxic jewelry, which was colorful, chic and, above all else safe. Hence, Chewbeads!
  • Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples)
  • Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth
  • Easily cleaned with dish soap & water, also dishwasher safe!
  • No BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Cadmium, or Lead
  • Necklaces have a breakaway clasp for added safety
  • Necklaces are a great sensory tool to help your baby focus while nursing
  • Bracelets are a colorful reminder of which side you've just nursed

I am friends with you on facebook, friends with chewbeads, but I don't know how to publicly follow on google connect you since I don't have a website. sorry about that. I would still love to be considered for the contest!

To help my 8 month old daughter with teething I rotate through about three different teething rings... They stay in the freezer and she LOVES them. When one gets warm another one is usually (hopefully) cold for her. These chew beads could really help with her teething since She doesn't have too many teething toys that aren't meant to be cold.

We use cold teething rings, washcloths, and lots of hyland's teething gel. I also have the baltic amber teething necklace! I think she would love chewbeads since she is always trying to chew any necklaces I wear.

I hate to use any type of medicine so we rely on the freezer teething rings and I have a vibrating teether that works great with the front teeth. For the side and back teeth, we discovered that a toothbrush is a perfect teether. All three of my kids used one.

My son has 4 teeth coming in now. I am trying the Orajel Naturals, but he doesn't like the taste (black licorice). I also have a teething pacifier that he is OK with. We have some Teething Bling (necklace and bangle) that he actually likes a lot.

OOPS I wrote my email wrong so I deleted my comment. Here is my last comment with the correct email.
To help my LO with teething I put a water teether in the fridge and offer it to her a few times a day. Another thing that helps is chilling her baby food before I feed her.

To help my first, I relied on Amber Teething Necklace and Hylands Teething tablets. That combo worked great on her.

For my second, I did the same, but I don't think it worked as well for her.

Now, my last babe just got her first tooth this week and she is really struggling. I would love to see if this helps her! Thanks! :)
