Succinic Acid: It is a natural occurring substance in Baltic Amber that is felt to have soothing effects and helps with pain. The beads are carefully knotted and the necklace is worn tight to the skin to avoid the baby putting it in his mouth and choking. I would think this should only be worn with supervision. The risk in this case would out way the benefit if it was my baby. All the best/interesting question.

Perhaps: There's anecdotal evidence that the succinct acid in the Amber is soothing to irritated ridges, but I have no knowledge of any scientific investigations to prove the point.
