Questions we have been asked as well as other information
·Are the necklaces safe to sleep in?
My daughter has been wearing hers since 4 months (Nov 07), initially it was taken off for the night sleep, but as we became comfortable with the product (as well as always forgetting to put it on in the morning) she now wears it 24/7. It stays on during sleep time, in the shower and she also has her swimming lessons with it on. I recommend that you do what you feel most comfortable doing with your child, however they are made to release or break if forced for safety.
Other little kids find them interesting, my daughter has had hers pulled out of interest, with no major affect.
·How do you clean them?
Warm water and sunlight. My daughter has worn hers without specialized cleaning and it is as good as new.
·Do they need activating?
The warmth of the skin is what triggers the resin to release its oils. Warm water and sunlight can also start this process.
·How long do they take to start working?
Our friends have a son who was going through a terrible time teething. He had bright red cheeks and was irritable. Within 30 minutes his parents noticed a difference in him, and his cheeks calmed down. Each child is different so the time it takes to work and the level of effectiveness will be different in all. My daughter has had hers since she first started to cut her teeth (at 4 months); she now has all her teeth, with the only symptoms being clingy to her Mum, and a little bit grumpy.
