What type of stones should I get for my daughter ears?

Question

I am looking into buying a nice pair of infants 24K gold post earring for my baby girl. She is getting her ears pierced this weekend. She was born in November, what is that birthstone? I think a light blue stone will bring her eyes out good, she has blue eyes. Also should I give her tylenol before the precedure? She is almost 10 months old.

Thanks.

Yes, was looking into the gold post mainly for dressing up, of course I am going to begin with surgical steel, but I'm not allergic to gold neither is my wife, and my daughter has worn a gold necklace with her mother in a pendant since she left for Iraq 4 months ago. I want my girl to have nice things as I can possibly afford. She's the princess...what princess doesn't have jewels of all kinds?

Answer 1

My husband and myself made an agreement that when our daughter asked to get her ears pierced , then she could . Not before. She asked to get them pierced about a month ago. I know she is only 3 , but it was her choice. That's what counts. I do not think its a good idea to get a child's ears pierced when they are not old enough to ask for it to be done. Why not wait ? It will be funner for your child. My daughter was very excited about getting it done. I let her pick out her earrings and everything. I even bought earrings for her toy dog !!!

Answer 2

Topaz for starters. Tylenol does NOT thin the blood, that is ADVIL! You can give your daughter any type of aspirin before you go, but it is not going to initially help with the procedure, it still has quite a bit of a sting. Your daughter is going to be the most unhappy child in the entire place!, for awhile. If you are the type of dad that loves to cuddle and sooth her, she won't cry for too long. Instead of gold though, I recommend you try sterling silver, just because my 2nd daughter-we found out after she got her ears pierced- she was allergic to anything plated(in other words, it has to be the real deal!) Sterling Silver has been our best bet from the get go! Have alot of compassion for your daughter when you have this done to her, she is going to need it.

Make sure you CLEAN her ears EVERYDAY with either the towlets or bottle that the place gives you or peroxide. It helps fight the infection and will keep her ears from getting infected. Also, keep turning them, keeps the stuff that will form from sticking. She won't like it, but you should do it anyway - maybe when she is sleeping.

You chose to do this to your baby, she didn't get to have a say so in the decision - so take care of her and don't let her get an infection!

Good Luck

A little bit of baby liquid tylenol won't hurt her, but it won't keep her from feeling all of the soreness. I am pretty sure that November is topaz, which is either a yellow colour or even a blue topaz. They do have blue topaz, that is what i wear in my ring. I like your idea, good luck to you and your little one. If tylenol is a blood thinner, (i used to be a nurse but never heard that one), I can't see where it will make her bleed a whole lot. The earlobes are fatty and it isn't like you are getting an artery pierced. Good grief they had me take tylenol for a biopsy once, so don't worry. Ps, I wear gold because i have an allergy to everything else. Pss I just had to come back and put my two cents in about you getting them pierced. Several people seem to be against it because of the age thing. Welllll, I had my son circumcised at five days old because I couldn't imagine him *opting* for it later and if he did, think how painful. He tolerated THAT without too much trouble compared to when he is fully comprehensive later in life. Don't feel guilty, its only earlobes and i wish mine were done earlier.

I think that it is so cute when a baby girl has her ears pierced. Get a stone that will look nice on her, or a gold ball. She will cry for a while because of the popping sound it will make as the ear-ring goes through her ear and of the pain, but because she is so young she will forget about it with in no time. Before you get her ears pierced though, be sure she is not allergic to gold or surgical steel. and also remember that when she gets this done the earrings should be kept in the ears for about 6 weeks so that they can heal. And be sure to buy an ear solution that you should apply every day to prevent infection, and when she sleeps make sure that there will be nothing that can get caught on her new accessories!!!!

Answer 5

I'd get something plain--gold studs to begin with. Maybe even gold plated ones. You never know--she might have an allergy to gold, or she might constantly pull the earrings out (and lose them!), or they might just irritate her ears enough to where she really won't want them in. In that case, I'd go with something plain so you're not out a lot of money. Give it a while, and if she seems to like them (or at least isn't bothering them), then you can buy fancier ones.

I believe November's birthstone is a Topaz, but I'm not positive. Whatever you do, don't buy her Opals. They're VERY soft stones and crack easily. Also, it's bad luck to wear any kind of opal if it's not your birthstone.

Answer 6

First, I don't recommend getting gold. Simply because gold is very common allergy. Try using surgical steel or sterling silver Secondly, I think you should get her her birthstone, Topaz. It's not the pretties colour, but it hold a significant meaning.

And NO. Do not give her tylenol before hand. It's a blood thinner, it will only make her bleed more. Plus it won't stop the pain.

Answer 7

Yellow topaz is the classic Birthstone
Citrine is the modern birthstone.
I would avoid tylenol before the procedure myself, but call ahead whereever you are going and ask them what other people do. You could also call the Drs office for their opinion

Answer 8

hi...everyone needs to calm down. If it was a boy, they'd probably get him circumcised withouth asking his opinion, so what's the big deal about ear piercing?
To answer your question, it is safest to get plain studs with no stones. Any crevice in the earring (i.e. behind the stone and under the prongs) that you can't clean properly is a good place for bacteria to hide. There is a much greater risk for infection, especially since she is too young to know not to touch them.

Answer 9

The birth stone is yellow topaz but you can always match the eyes. Both are going to be popular choices. Try to chose the one that has the greatest meaning to you. She's a baby and wouldn't care either way. EX: do her eyes match her mothers or yours or was her birth to symbolize you both?

Answer 10

a blue stone or a diamond would look nice. and no you dont need to give her tylenol before you get her ears pierced, i got my daughters pierced when she was 7 months old and she only cried for a few minutes and then forgot about it.

Answer 11

The November birthstone is a yellow topaz. I'd give her tylenol beforehand, if you've ever had anything pierced you know how it can hurt.
