I have an 18 month old who is cutting molars. I'm worried this won't fit around her neck?? But I really want to try!! Anyone have experience?

I put my sons necklace on my 4yo nephew once just to see if it would fit and it did with plenty of extra space.So it should definitely fit your 18mo.

It worked great for my now 2 1/2 year old. She has been wearing since she was 7 mo. She wears it by choice now.

Yes, I think so -- each "leg" is 1 5/6" long (the overall length is 4 1/4"), so I think the 1 5/6" will be sufficient for reaching molars. Warning: these do break apart (after repeated chewings), so my now 6.5 year-old starts with it full-length and then wears them down. Luckily for us, he doesn't swallow them but spits the pieces out, but you should be aware in case of any swallowing / choking concerns. My son wears his every day throughout the day (but not during sleep), and he goes through them a little more than one per month. Well, depending upon his sensory needs it can be even faster. He has significant developmental disabilities but is able to understand that these are for putting in his mouth. Best of luck!

My neck is a little over 13" and this collar fits me...you could over lap it and make it smaller, but I really don't know how comfortable that would be, especially to sleep in. My suggestion; inquire about a pediatric (child size) one.

Hello... I bought this pillow for my son when he was 4 months old to round out his head a bit and to avoid one of those terrible helmets. It worked!!! He sleeps with is every night and is now a bit over 1 year old. I too was a bit nervous but he LOVED it. A great pillow for the $. If you are nervous and I was too....use it the first couple of times at nap time and check up periodically. then if all goes well and it will use it at night time. Hope this helps you :-) If just for looks and cute, You should wait for 6 months. My baby had a flat head so it was really necessary... either way your baby will love it!! Hello...

I would be concerned about the remote possibility of choking. It should fit snugly so it doesn't slip out. I did not mold mine correctly the first time and it never did fit tightly. As an over cautious parent, I would not purchase this for a 12 year old.

I don't see why you could not cut the strap; just remember that you can't put it back once cut. Another reviewer said that they wished there were more velcro on the strap and collar so it could be fitted snugger. I agree. That way, the strap would not need to be cut. My neck is 16.5 to 17 inches and my strap is way too long, but I just leave it. It doesn't bother me.

I havent found any dentist reviews, but my daughter's pediatrician actually gave her the lamb one when he did her newborn exam in the hospital. I can only assume that with it being pediatrician recommended that it would not harm their palate. Also, the stuffed animal is really light, and much smaller than you anticipate based on the photos.

I have not, but I can't believe it could possibly hurt your child. It is just a natural stone. I wouldn't hesitate if it were me.

My daughter is 9 months old. But this wafer melted in her mouth, she didn't need to use her teeth just the pressure of her gums would have been enough. If your baby has the chewing motions down then it shouldn't be a problem.

my 6 month old granddaughter is wearing it, so I'm not exactly sure of the length, but I do know that it does NOT choke her and you can get maybe 2 fingers between her neck and the necklace. Most of the time it "rides" to the back, it doesn't "stay put" in the front. I'm assuming that's because she is just now starting to sit up on her own, so it will probably stay put in the front soon. She doesn't even seem to know it's on and my daughter keeps it on her 24/7. Not sure if it works, but we do know that she doesn't seem to slobber and not as whiny has her older sibling was when he was teething and NOT wearing a necklace. my 6 month old granddaughter is wearing it, so I'm not exactly sure of the length, but I do know that it does NOT choke her and you can get maybe 2 fingers between her neck and the necklace.

This Teether is perfect for back teeth and molars. The little "fingers" reach to the sides and back of their mouth. This one is a favorite for my 5 month old!

I do the same thing. My daughter loves this cups. She has 4 and every single one I cut a larger hole. It's a must!!! My friends son used these also but she never cut the spout. The doctor told her to stop using them because they were affecting the roof of his mouth! I'm guessing from sucking so hard.I've tried several times changing my daughter's cups but she wants these so I will continue cutting the spouts till she grows out of her obsession!

I bought this for the same reason for my 18 month old. It would work, if he didn't wake up and remove it every time I try to use it on him.

Yes, I would think so. My five year old is very intrigued by it every time I am using mine, but I don't think she is quite ready for one now. I will definitely get her one in a couple of years. The bristles are not to hard so no worries about the gum line. You know your child best, so you can better assess as to whether or not they are fit for a motorized toothbrush.

Mine sits sort of loosely, so when one went to chew it would come off I suspect. Many regions have dental assistance plans. Look around more widely you may find one? Good luck. This ain't the solution sadly.

Yes! This is one of the best teethers you can get for all stages of teething. The unique design makes it easy to chew on inside. My 15 month old is getting her molars in and she chews it like crazy! It's also very well made to with stand all the chewing.

Depending upon the age of your son I wouldn't as a safety (smothering/choking...) concern. I would recommend asking your pediatrician.
