The mum-of-two’s latest post caused quite the controversy online.

Former TOWIE star Billie Faiers shared a picture of her son Arthur over the weekend and one item the boy was wearing grabbed followers attention.

The five-month-old was spotted wearing an amber beads anklet as he posed next to his three-year-old sister.


The post has caused somewhat of a debate among parents in the comments, as many shared their thoughts on the product.

“I found the amber bracelets worked,” one follower wrote.

“I left it off my daughter’s ankle after bathing her and forgot to put it back on. She was kicking off all day until I put it back on and she stopped.”

However, many parents disagreed and called the product dangerous.

“I think they are total b*****ks and potentially dangerous as they are beady.

“Why would you put small swallowable beads on your baby?”

Parents were warned about the dangers of amber teething bracelets a few years ago, with experts calling them a “choking hazard”.
