I am making a personalized bracelet for my niece's babtism. I see they have magnetic closures for necklaces and stuff and I was wondering if I could use it for an infant. I am thinking it will be easier to get it on her wrist and fit it to size, since our fingers are so big it would be difficult to close a hook closure. Any suggestions, will for sure help. Thanks...

She is only going to wear it at her baptism, and I am not worried about her choking on it. We are not going to let her use it as a chew toy. I just wanted to know if the magnet will harm her. I know the chances that she might choke on small things, I get that. I just wanted to know if it would stop blood flow or make her hair stand on end, something crazy like that. Don't know what magnets do to the body if you wear them, I know people wear them for arthritus, what would it do to a baby?

Magnets, are not just choking hazards, are harmful/deadly if swallowed. There was just a toy that was recalled due to deaths.
Plus I never understood why infant jewelry,barrettes, etc are not considered choking hazards. Using the same regulations as toys, most would be.

I would say it would be okay for the baptism, but i wouldn't let her wear it all the time. It will come off alot easier and then be a choking hazard. As long as its only for a few hours and her mother has a close eye on her. If she's really young she might not even notice it. But after a few months old she will try to put it in her mouth.

I would think it would be OK, as long as there was no possibility of the small parts coming apart and therefore being a choking hazard.
I also wouldn't let an infant wear jewelry unsupervised.
Hope it is a great ceremony!

The only jewelry allowed for infants are stud earrings nothing more. There are several reported accidents caused by jewelries on infants. The flesh of infants are so tender that most jelweries that are tied or entwined on their body parts are hazards to their body parts getting ripped off as they get entangled with adult's jewelries accidentally. magnetic or non magnetic does not make any difference as far as accidents are concerned....that's why they are called accidents. Best is to avoid them. Prevention is best!!!

I would skip the jewelry on a newborn.
Newborn & jewelry - doesn't mix. Spare the child, please.
How about making a nice braclet - as that is a very nice thought - but don't make the poor thing wear it. It would be a very nice keepsake. And make it big enough that she can wear it when she gets older. She can wear it knowing that you made it for her baptism. But, obviously, she'll know that she was too small to wear jewelry.

It would be ok if she only wore it at her baptisim and was carefully watched. After you could make a shadow box put it in there with her dress. That would be really neat and you wouldnt have to worry about her choking. It would be a beautiful keepsake for the parents and baby.

Magnets won't harm the baby unless ingested... Some theorize they may help.. although i'd love to see one stand on end when put up next to another baby lol like reverse magnetism ha ha :) ok i'm kidding lol

I wouldn't use it because if the magnet came loose and the baby got a hold of the pieces then it goes strait into their mouth and they can choke

Anything to easy to get off would be a chocking hazard for a baby. Not suggested.

no, the only metals fascinated in a magnet are iron, cobalt, and nickel. "fake" silver, or silver colored steel would be magnetic (if this is iorn cobalt or nickel), sterling won't.
