My friend just had
a beautiful baby girl named Kira and, let me tell you, she is SO excited to get
Kira’s ears pierced! However, she’s hearing conflicting opinions about when the
“best” time is for piercing a baby’s ears. I totally get it because I have a
daughter too. It can be so hard to figure out when the right time to pierce a
baby’s ear.
Some parents believe
in waiting to pierce their baby’s ears until they are toddlers or until they
can talk. Letting the child decide if and when she would like to have her ears
pierced is not a bad idea. Not to mention, they get to pick out their very
first pair of earrings. Alternatively, in many cultures, a baby’s ears are
pierced hours after birth. Strictly
speaking, there is no “best” time. It’s really up to you and your family.
Many child experts
agree that six months of age is the earliest age due to a baby’s developing
immune system. They claim that, before this age, any potential infections can
be harmful. By six months, the baby should have a strong enough immune system to
be able to fight off any possible infections.
What’s Important to
Know About Piercing A Baby’s Ears?
Whenever you
decide to do it, you’ll want to make sure you get your baby’s ears pierced by a
professional who has experience with piercing babies’ ears. Medical ear
piercing is an especially great option. The Blomdahl System
is an ear-piercing method, available only through medical professionals, and it
is entirely sterile, hygienic, and safe.
Moreover, once the
piercing is complete, you don’t want to buy just any earrings for your child! When
you buy earrings for babies, you only want nickel-free and hypoallergenic
earrings.
Why Nickel-Free and
Hypoallergenic Earrings?
Nickel is part of
all cheap jewelry and even white gold and stainless steel. It can cause an
allergic reaction in many people at any age, and estimates are that 11 million
children suffer from nickel allergies. Itching, redness, and bumps are not
symptoms a baby or child should have to experience. Always look for nickel-free
earrings!
Hypoallergenic means
that the product contains little to no irritants and has a reduced chance of
causing an allergic reaction. However, it is sometimes possible for
hypoallergenic jewelry to contain trace amounts of nickel.
What Types of Baby Earrings
Should I Buy?
You know to steer
clear of nickel. Unfortunately, there may be other allergens lurking in jewelry
marketed explicitly to children that you want to avoid.
There are two types
of earrings you should look at buying, especially when it comes to buying
earrings for babies or children. They are medical plastic and medical-grade
titanium earrings.
Medical Plastic
Earrings
When something is
labeled “medical grade,” it must undergo tests to ensure it meets strict
criteria. The first analysis is to check for biocompatibility. Biocompatibility
means the materials won’t irritate any kind in other materials or living tissue
that it contacts.
Earrings with
“medical grade” designations are always nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Medical
plastic earrings are easy to clean, safe, and durable, making them an
excellent choice for babies.
Medical Titanium
Earrings
As with medical
plastic earrings, medical titanium earrings are nickel-free and also considered
“medical grade.” They have undergone the same strict testing for
biocompatibility.
Titanium is
similar to steel, but it is quite a bit lighter and corrosion resistant. Medical
titanium is highly resistant to any wear and tear, making titanium earrings another
fantastic choice for babies and children.
