What is it about babies and amber?

In some parts of Europe and overseas, it's not unusual to see babies wearing small amber necklaces. To those unfamiliar, it might seem like a cute accessory – but for many parents, it’s more than that.

It’s NOT just a fashion statement

Amber has been used for centuries – not just for its beauty, but for its believed healing properties. In Northern countries, amber was seen as a protector – a gift from nature.

Today, some parents turn to amber again, especially when baby teeth are on the way.

😣 The Teething Phase

Teething can be tough – not just for babies, but for the whole family.

Drooling. Crying. Restless nights.
While modern medicine offers gels and remedies, some parents seek more gentle, natural alternatives.

✨ Why amber?

Baltic amber contains a natural compound called succinic acid – believed to have anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.

When worn against the skin, body warmth may help release trace amounts of this substance.

Some child chiropractors and holistic practitioners recommend amber as a complementary tool during the teething phase – not as a miracle cure, but as part of a calm, sensory routine.

💬 A personal choice

At Ravgaard, we believe in emotional durability – choosing products that carry meaning, that are passed on, and that create stories.

For many families, the baby’s amber necklace becomes a keepsake – a small reminder of those intense but beautiful early years.

⚠️ A note on safety

Amber necklaces are not toys.

Please never let your child sleep with them or be left unattended while wearing one.

We always recommend removing the necklace during naps and nighttime.
