14-12-2024

Earrings for babies are becoming an increasingly popular choice for mothers who want to diversify their child's appearance and distinguish them from other infants or nursery children. Many people would like their little ones to wear earrings and get used to having jewelry from an early age. However, before we decide to buy one, whether for our child or as a gift for young parents, we should have reliable information about it. The range of earrings for babies is expanding, so it is worth expanding your knowledge and learning a few important facts before making the decision to pierce your little one's ears. What to look for? Is it safe? What are the pros and cons? Which earrings for a baby to choose? Below we have collected the most important information about earrings for babies for you.

What should you pay attention to when choosing earrings for your little one?

What earrings for a baby to choose and what to look for? First of all, the quality of workmanship and the material the earrings are made of. There are many cheap and pretty types of children's jewelry on the market, but many of them (over 30%!), despite having the word "therapeutic" in their name, contain chrome or nickel. You should also avoid widely available stainless steel earrings, they can do more harm than good to your baby's health. These substances can expose your child to a strong allergic reaction, which may involve a quick hospital visit. That is why it is not worth saving on earrings and always check what materials they are made of. The obvious choice that may come to mind is to choose gold or silver jewelry, but even such decorations can be associated with allergies. Studies indicate that up to 10% of the population may be allergic to gold, which is why it is not recommended to wear them, especially in the initial phase of wound healing. At Blomdahl, we believe that the health and safety of our customers is the most important thing, which is why we have developed hypoallergenic jewellery, a wide range of which can be found on our website.

Are baby earrings safe?

Is it worth exposing an infant to unnecessary stress by piercing their ears? We often hear such questions from opponents of earrings for babies. On the other hand, we can find many voices of adult women who have been wearing jewelry from a very early age, who praise the effects, noting that later in life it would probably be difficult for them to get their ears pierced. The ear piercing procedure is today quick, safe and carried out in many places by trained doctors or beauticians using professional equipment. In Blomdahl facilities, we offer ear piercing designed to prevent infection during the procedure. We can often hear opinions that the healing of the wound after piercing is painful and can take a long time, which is why we have designed our earrings so that the healing process is easy and lasts as short as possible.

Which earrings should you choose for a baby?

We have already mentioned that the main thing to pay attention to is the quality of workmanship and the material from which the jewelry is made. However, what else is worth paying attention to when choosing earrings for our child? The visual aspect is no less important! It is true that it will take some time before our little one starts to decide what forms and shapes suit them best, but until then the decision lies with the parents. Hearts, flowers, stars or diamonds are common patterns chosen for babies, which perfectly match their clothes. At Blomdahl we offer these and many other original forms and patterns of safe and hypoallergenic types of jewelry. In our store there is a wide selection - from classic earrings made of gold, silver and black medical titanium through pearl earrings to earrings made of medical plastic that are especially safe for children.
