Aloha to Ohana Mama contributor, Heather from The Misadventures of a Blushing Mommy who has written this review of Inspired By Finn…
Inspired By Finn, Be Inspired
What is one of the most dreaded stages of infancy and toddlerhood? Teething! Teething poops, teething drool, and teething pain are all part of the awful spectrum. If you’re a mama who is eco-friendly or concerned with over medicating your kiddos this becomes an even bigger problem. How can you ease your baby’s pain without hurting the environment and pumping them full of over the counter meds? In my search of relief for my 10 month old son I was told about Inspired By Fin teething necklaces. They are made of Baltic amber beads that when placed against the skin and allowed to warm up release natural oils that are supposed to help soothe the teething pain. I was very sceptical that a necklace seeming to having nothing to do with my son’s mouth could make a difference in his level of discomfort, but I was willing to giving it a try.
I purchased my son’s necklace and upon receiving it in the mail, immediately put it on him. As I watched him play I paid close attention looking for any change in his demeanor. Within 10 minutes he was notably calmer, he was drooling less, and he seemed to be much more at ease than before. I couldn’t believe the remarkable difference I was noticing in such a short amount of time, but I was sold! My son has gotten some strange looks, and I’ve gotten some strange comments (“Are boys supposed to wear necklaces?!”) but this is working great for us.
Inspired By Finn has an entire line of baby, toddler, and mama Baltic amber jewelry. Apart from teething the jewelry also boasts relief of a number of other problems including joint pain, and headaches. They come in varying lengths, colors, and bead styles and they offer bracelets as well as necklaces. Next time around I’m buying a necklace for my 3 year old and mama is getting some bling too! Too bad these necklaces don’t help with those teething poops. Now THAT would be a product a mama could love!***NOTICE: These teething necklaces are not for your little one to actually bite on, but just to wear.***
In addition to fabulous Amber necklaces and bracelets, Inspired By Finn also carries organic Baby Legs and organic cotton toys. -Mahalo Heather for your awesome review!

Love the teething necklaces! I think I would get a black/green one for when Gav gets big enough. I’d go with cherry since we all have one (me, my 1 yr old and my 6 yr old) but I think my husband would think it was too girly for the little guy to match the girls. :)
I love the dark colored ones. But I heard that the lighter ones are better at relieving pain? So the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace in Cognac Round it is!
I BLOGGED! I will send my IRL friends over! So … second entry for the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace in Cognac Round! My baby has been needing one SO BAD!
I need a mama necklace to match my little guys, so I would love to get the 4 Different Round Nuggets 20′.
These are so fashionable, great find girl!
I love the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace – Light Green/Black Round Nuggets, the longer the better! :)

I’m loving the cognac round. Not only are these helpful but oh so pretty. My DD got lots of comments on her’s until it broke :(
These are a great idea! Nothing seems to help my little guy :(
I love the four different round nuggets necklace. In the smaller bead size.
I twittered about the giveaway and linked ohana mama! Woot woot for Ohana Mama.
I like the Baltic Amber necklace with smaller beads in Cognac!

I like the Baltic Amber teething necklace with 4 different round beads. What an interesting idea. This is the first time I’ve heard of this! Way cool!

Very interesting concept. My 6 month old has been up the last two nights and I think he’s getting his upper front teeth. I like the necklace with the 4 different round nuggets on it.
I have seen these before in another natural toy supplier online shop, but the ones at Inspired by Finn are FAR more beautiful than the ones I saw!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a necklace for both of my little boys. I think the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace – Dark Cherry Round Nuggets would look very manly on a 4 year old and a 1 year old (who IS teething, bless him! I have the bite marks to prove it!)
I’m so excited! This might start an addiction!

I've seen these and been seriously skeptical, but I keep hearing good things about them. I have yet to see them in any local stores, so winning one would be very exciting! I would choose the 'Baltic Amber Teething Necklace – Milk & Butter Round Nuggets' for my little guy. It's not as manly, but according to the site info should have the most beneficial properties. Great giveaway, thank you :)

Oh, and my favorite is the Dark Cherry Round nuggets necklace.
I like the honey round nuggets best.
I’m a fan of the light green and black round nuggets for my little guy. His teething is so bad, I wish I could do something more for it, this might be perfect.

As much as I would love to win this, I may need to just head over there and buy one. We are knee deep in teething right now and it is not fun! If I did win, I would pick the Baltic Amber – Dark Cherry Round Nuggets.

I like the amber cognac round necklace. We have been going through teething pains here and it has been nuts!
They are all so beautiful, but I think my favorite is the small round bead necklace in honey.
You are right – anything is worth a shot! And who says boys can’t wear necklaces? These look great, for boys or girls, and I would choose the Baltic Amber Teething Necklace – Dark Green/Black Round Nuggets. Thanks!!
