Before Dressing Your Baby in Jewelry, Know the Risks

"Dream - Newborn baby girls are often immediately pierced in the ears to wear gold earrings. In many regions of Indonesia, there is also a custom to buy gold when a baby is born. to adorn them."

Usually in the form of bracelets, anklets, or small rings to be worn on the fingers. The jewelry worn is sometimes also inherited. This baby jewelry is certainly very tiny in size.

Wearing jewelry on babies has become a cultural practice in Indonesia. It can serve as an identity and showcase social class. However, it cannot be denied that putting jewelry on babies can also pose risks, such as scratches, swallowing, allergies, and many more. In reality, is it safe to put jewelry on babies and toddlers?

According to Dr. Nabila Viera Yovita from KlikDokter, it is basically allowed for babies to wear jewelry on their bodies. Make sure to choose materials that do not cause any problems on the baby's skin.

"If you want to wear jewelry on a baby, choose materials that are made of pure materials such as real gold. Avoid using jewelry made of silver, iron, plastic, and nickel as they can trigger skin allergies in babies. This allergic reaction is usually known as eczema or contact dermatitis," said Dr. Nabila."

Apart from choosing the right material, pay attention to the baby's age. Little ones who are 6 months old usually enjoy putting foreign objects into their mouths.

Because of that, avoid putting on accessories like bracelets and rings on babies at that age. This is to prevent the risk of the accessories coming off and the baby swallowing them, which can be very dangerous.

The translation of "Risiko Tersedak dan Terlilit" to English is "Risk of Choking and Entanglement."

"It is important to know, parents, that a 6-month-old baby tends to put objects around them into their mouth because their oral motor skills are developing rapidly. This means that the baby might pull jewelry and swallow it. The risk of choking becomes higher."

"It is important to look for jewelry that is simple without small beads that can easily come off and be swallowed. Swallowing objects like this jewelry can endanger the child's life. One more thing to pay attention to is the material used in the jewelry. In some jewelry, there is lead that can trigger poisoning. The effects can cause the child to experience seizures, fatigue, weight loss, and severe irritation due to exposure or ingesting lead."

“Lead poisoning can be caused by the use of jewelry that contains lead. If a baby uses jewelry that contains lead or accidentally puts this jewelry in their mouth, the effects mentioned above may occur,”

The issue that can also arise is that a child can get tangled while wearing a necklace. The hooks, ribbons, strings, or pendants on the necklace can be dangerous and pose a threat to the baby. Therefore, it is advisable to wait until your little one is older before putting on a necklace.
