What to know before putting earrings on your baby

As we have already seen, the time to perform the piercing of the baby's lobes can vary depending on the parents' decision, although there are some who decide to have them performed as soon as they are born and others who prefer to leave this for a little later, such as for before the baptism. In any case, you can consult with the pediatrician and follow his recommendations.

Once the decision has been made, the most important thing will be to go to an authorized healthcare professional to pierce the baby's ears. It is not useful to make the holes just anywhere; safety conditions and the use of appropriate material in the procedure must be ensured.

Subsequently, it is very important to follow the hygiene guidelines recommended by the professional, in order to avoid any type of infection or complication derived from the piercing. These guidelines will influence proper healing of the piercing. Still, you should pay special attention to signs of infection and see a medical professional if you suspect that there really is a problem.

How to choose baby earrings

There are some indications for choosing a baby's first earrings, but they are also applicable in case at some point you decide to change the baby's earrings for a different model.

1. Choose hypoallergenic materials. This will be one of the most important decisions, since the material is essential to avoid skin allergies. 18-karat gold is an ideal material for a baby's first earrings, as it is one of the purest and this will lower the risk of suffering an allergic reaction. Consult our catalog of gold earrings for babies and find the ones that best suit your requirements.
2. The shape of the earrings. Special attention must be paid to the comfort of babies, since they spend a lot of time sleeping in the first months and later physical activity increases. Therefore, it is necessary to choose earrings without pendants or other types of decorations that may interfere with the baby's comfort.
3. The size of the earrings. Another aspect to pay special attention to is also the size of the earrings, since they must be proportional to the surface of the baby's earlobe. An earring that is too large can be annoying and heavy, so it is necessary to choose the right size. Until the first year, they can use 3-4mm designs perfectly.
4. Check the closure. A baby's earrings should have a comfortable and secure closure. This will help avoid possible discomfort or movement of the piece that could cause loss of the jewelry or even possible choking.

Baby earrings Aftercare

Ideally, from time to time, the baby's earrings could be properly cleaned, as they may have accumulated dirt. Maintaining regular cleaning of the earrings and piercing will also help prevent infections.

Another recommendation is that when handling the baby's earrings, always do it with clean hands and, if changing the jewelry, do a prior disinfection.

These are some recommendations to keep in mind when choosing baby earrings. Remember that the main thing is to guarantee the comfort and health of the little ones. Don't forget to check out our children's jewelry catalog and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
