Necklaces on babies can be quite fetching and sometimes have sentimental value. Since ancient times, many people have believed jewelry made of amber alleviates teething pain.
Necklaces can snag on furniture, become twisted in clothing or other objects in a baby's environment, and cause severe injury or death due to strangulation or hanging.
Babies can wear necklaces at any age provided it is under direct adult supervision. The necklace should be short to prevent it getting into the mouth. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs in New Zealand suggests that beaded necklaces have knots tied between each bead to prevent all the beads from slipping off if the string breaks. Even teething necklace retailers, such as Nickolas Jewellery in the United Kingdom, advise caregivers to remove a baby's necklace for sleeping or any time the child will be unattended, regardless of how quickly the caregiver anticipates returning to the room.
