What are your thoughts on baby jewellery?

athome - 77 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Depends on what you mean by "baby" under thae age of 1, just Dangerous and unnesessary TBH. I did give each of my bubs a bracelet for their 1st birthday but they dont actually wear them yet they are more of an heirloom piece.

Melanie07 - 77 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) With both my girls I waited and am waiting till they are old enough to ask for pierced ears. I think it should be their choice. I do put bracelets and necklaces on my youngest. She loves being girly. I did the same with my oldest.

XONORA5 - 78 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Personally, earrings are never a problem, unless the baby is an ear tugger or puller. I can only give opinion on girls, since I have no boys (not yet but TTC him). I had one of my girls pierced at 7 days and other at about 10 days after being born. They both have worn a chain with a religious medallion since they were baptised (one at 3 mons and other at 5 months) and both received their name bracelets (that are baby proof...need a pointy item to open clasp) since about the same time. I think that it just depends on the child...only a mom knows their children. My sister just had a girl (almost 8 wks) and was told not to put earrings until after her shots, but then she will after that. Nothing about other jewelry. As for boys, I would say the chain and bracelet should work the same, but I personally don't want him to wear any earrings, at least until he chooses to do so when older. :)

lady26 - 78 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I think earrings and bangles are fine. If I have a girl I will probable pierce her ears at 6 months. Rings I am not sure because they can probable swallow the rings.

nich-vegas-mommy2be - 78 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My mom had gotten all of us kids a baby ring when we were born - I am not really sure of the purpose, but she still has them, lol :) I think pierced ears do look cute on baby girls, but I can't say that it would be something I would do just because I think I would want my daughter to have that choice as she got older. I haven't really heard of any other kind of baby jewelry...

mrscolegrove - 78 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i think babies shouldnt have jewlery they are already going to get attention from everyone and in a previous experiance grandma picked up my niece and her earing got ripped out from a snag on a button its easier and safer to just wait

ColtensMom2006 - 78 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If I have a girl, I will get her ears pierced as soon as they will allow. If I have a boy I probably won't buy him any jewlery...I didn't for my first son.

karenc - 78 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) in general, baby jewelry is fine but I have come to prefer it on a special occasion basis only. babies are so beautiful just as they are every day! of course, earrings are a different story b/c they stay in all the time. for some reason, i've come to prefer ear piercing after age 1 -- I had my ears pierced at age 3.

Baby3OnWay - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My daughter had a ring when she was born.. my popo got it for me when I was a baby! its hard though cause they like to suck on their hands and fingers so I eventually took it off as I was afraid she was giong to chock on it. I got her ears peirced at 4 months and she got a nice gold braclet that was "baby proff" for her first bday but she only wears it on special occasions... just be careful and keep an eye. Otherwise I think it looks so cute!

brandi j. - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I just think that it would be uncomfortable. Yeah, it is very cute, but a baby can not maneuver the bracelet, ring, etc. like we can if it gets uncomfortable. If it doesn't seem to bother your baby, then I say go for it. A necklace is never a good idea though, I would not think a ring would be either, both are a choking hazard.

ashleyandcaleb - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think its really cute.i always see people who find little bracelets and rings for infants i think its so precious.I wanna get my little girl's ears pierced.

Cindie - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If I ever have a girl I'll get her ears pierced at 1yr. old or so, with my boy, I'll give him a bracelet to wear.

agonzales - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I never put any jewelry on my oldest. With my youngest baby girl I never did either but she does have a bracelet her grandmother gave her when she was just a couple months old but she has never worn it. She is 2 1/2 years now and she still doesnt wear it and they both dont even have their ears pierced. I thought about it but felt bad cause I knew they would cry. So I'll leave that up to them when they are a little older.

mommytobe29 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) when i was a baby (a few months old) my mom got my ears pierced. not only does it heal faster.. but since i conciously always felt it there ever since i can remember.. i've never screwed around with my earring or anything.

Rebekahs-mama - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think it's cute! I made my daughter and I matching bracelets after she was born. It's made of wire that takes 18lbs to break, so the likelihood of it breaking and her choking on it is small. But I am still very careful and she only wears it to church for now. I never put her to bed with it just to be safe!

Mommyof2boys - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would wait until putting anything on them until they get a little older, that way its much safer and they don't rip it off or lose it.

slg3233 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't think jewelry for babies are safe unless you keep it for them until they get a little older. That's my opinion!

sarahann - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Even if your baby doesn't wear any jewellery, I think it's nice to have a baby bracelet or name brooch or something special that they can keep and say "I've had that since I was born / was a baby".

MelissaJoanne - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think that earrings on babies are pretty silly, if that is what you are asking about. One she or he is old enough to decide they would like an ear piercing or two, I'm all for it. It can be an important rite of passage in a young person's life. Other jewelry such as a bracelet would probably be unsafe for a newborn baby, as it will probably end up in their mouth. A slightly older baby would be able to wear one.

heather4185 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) hate it. Jewellery on babies just looks tacky and chav like, its also not very safe

niki - 79 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I got a sterling silver braclet with initals on it from a family member when my baby was born, at the time it was too big but now that it fits everything goes in her mouth - good job there are extra links for it as it wont be on her for a while. As far as jewellery goes i think its best until your child is at an age where they can decide - i hate to wear a watch and therefore i would hate someone to make me wear one. But its up to the individual.

Debra - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) looks terrible. IF you don't believe in circumcision b/c of the pain, i have to ask why put earrings on a baby girl- when they don't have a choice in the matter and is done without pain control. I still remember getting earrings when I was 12. It was special to me and was VERY painful. But it was something that I asked for and it made me proud to think that I was entering into a special world for women. Charms and necklaces can also be a FANTASTIC choking hazard.

2xmom - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Not a big fan of earings in babies. To me there is enough to worry about in the care and well being of a baby, I wouldn't want to add any unnecessary pain or possible infection. Everything goes in their mouths, if they would ingest something..... My daughter however, has a keepsake charm bracelet that she was given as an infant, she only wore it a couple of times, it always went in her mouth. It's a nice keepsake. These are all very personal choices.

Godispeace - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think it depends on the gender, you have to be careful that you don't put a ring or bracelet on a newborn because when they're too young they tend to put everything in their mouth. I think a charm with a necklace will be good only when you go out not to sleep because you don't want it to get wrapped too tight on their neck or get caught in a blanket. It's very difficult to buy a newborn jewelry other than earrings if it's a girl.

gr8scottswife - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It's great when they are very small because even if the baby is wearing blue, people say "She is so cute." Earrings are especially helpful in helping people recognize the sex of the baby.

smilebig27 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I love it and i got my son ear pierced when he was 6 months ols and wouldn't change it for a thing. He also have a necklace and a ring, so I love it.If you like and want your child to have it then go for it, it's your child.

christina1984 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i wont get my daughters ears pierced until kindergarden. i dont think its safe for a small baby to have any jewelry at all in case they choke

RandiLee - 79 days ago haha...."bling" that made me laugh. "baby bling" hahah.

lizzie287 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I personally don't agree with ear piercing when they're babies and things like that, but to each their own. I think I agree with Michaela about that being a personal choice for the child to make when they grow up. Pierced ears are not a necessary pain for a baby to go through. As for other jewellery, I'm extremely paranoid and probably wouldn't want to put too much on a baby for fear that they'd somehow choke on it or hurt themselves otherwise.

kimmarie - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Personally, I like it....

michaela - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) If you mean ear piercing i don't agree with it, especially on boys. I think it is a milestone of growing up to get your ears pierced. I remember my mum taking me on my 9th birthday to get them done, it was my choice and your child should make that decision. My daughter wears a silver bangle we got her for her first christmas, thats as much bling as i like on a baby.

monica9 - 79 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I will get my daughters ear's pierced when she is about 6 months old.
