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?

sorry but peircing a babys ears is abuse. peirced ears are a right of passage when a girl is about 11 or 12 and she can get it done with her girlfriends.
hey nicola , why not let her get a tattoo also.
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.
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.
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.
10 months old with earrings? Dude, you have rocks in your head.
Let her be a kid. Let her be a kid who doesn’t look like a sleazeball.
Yellow Topaz is the birthstone but unfortunately it’s not very attractive. What about pearls or CZs?
It is a yellow topaz. Get that its nice. Or just get gold balls they may be less expensive and she is a baby and she probably wont be able to change her earings for at least 6 weeks.
I agree that piercing the child’s ears is not a good decision. Ask yourself if you are piercing her ears for you or for her. What purpose is there for a baby to have pierced ears? Wait until she is old enough to make this mature decision on her own.
Please don’t do that to your child. Let her decide if and when she gets that done. Babies look stupid with pierced ears anyway. Don’t do it. Besides, you have to use all the cleaner stuff and make sure they don’t get infected and all that and that is just something a 10 month old shouldn’t have to go through. Please for the sake of your baby—let her be a baby.
Any jewellry store will have them organized according to birth month. As far as pain goes, it is only a second of pain. The sound of the gun is what will scare her and make her cry.
I worry about piercing a baby’s ears. I watched a baby about this age get her ears pierced and it broke my heart. She screamed for over an hour after it was done. I saw the look on the mother’s face too and I know she was wondering if she had done the right thing.
Whatever you decide to do, Good Luck.
Try getting her , her birth stone
I believe piercing and body modification should be the choice of the person it’s being done to.
Let her choose whether or not to get earrings when she’s older. Then she can pick a color she likes.
November’s birthstone is Topaz. Topaz is more like amber color.
Why don’t you contact your daughter’s pediatrician and ask about how healthy that is for your daughter and what he/she recommends. This is a thing that parents do to their children that I cannot comprehend. It hurts to do it and for a while after, especially when cleaning them.
Wow–piercing the ears and have her wear a necklace that could choke her? I think you should read some parenting books.
Topaz is the birth stone for november.
But why are you getting your baby’s ears pierced? Do you realize that when she sleeps or lays on her side that the posts will poke her head? I got my ears pierced when I was 10. Not only was the procedure scary, but the healing process afterwards was painful, and getting used to the posts hitting my head when I slept was also a problem.
please consider waiting until your daughter is old enough to ASK for this instead of imposing this on her. You have enough to deal with with a littlte baby than giving her something that is painful, potentially cause infection and certainly uncomfortable. She may also get them snagged on her clothes (dressing a baby isn’t always easy) or she could get them caught on something and have them ripped out.
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
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.
I encourage you not to get your little girls ears pierced. Please let her decide on her own when she is older… You’re permanetly altering her body by doing this.
Getting your ears pierced is kind of like a right of passage for 10-12 year old girls…
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 !!!
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?
I think you should get her her birthstone. I looked it up and it would be topaz. or a yellow gem. Also before the precedure, i don;t think you need tylenol, when i got mine done at 11,it didn’t hurt me.
how about a tiny diamond stud….?
I had my 2 babies ears pierced at 3 months old by their pediatrician. They just cried for seconds then stopped. Then all is well.
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
topaz is for November.
and oh yeah, if you want to get your daughters ears pierced, you go right ahead. dont listen to all these people saying how you should wait unitl she is older, and rites of passage, and blah, blah, blah. i got my ears pierced when i was a infant, i still love them and as a matter of fact i got 3 more in my ears when i was in highschool, now that im 21 i still love them. you and the mother of your child are the ones raising her, you brought her into this world, and getting her ears pierced will not pose a high priority threat. people need to loosen up sometimes.
she is too old to do now.. you will have to wait until she can decide… she wont understand why you are hurting her, and she will tugg at them.. you might wake up to your baby holding a beautiful new earring in her bloody little hand.. not cool!!!
wilowdreams thats the most stupid thing iv ever heard ”abuse” getting a childs ears pierced isnt abuse i dont think theres anythink wrong with having a childs ears done within reason anythink from 9 months onwards
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!!!!
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.
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.
Get a pink stone. Little girls wear lots of pink so it will match with most of her outfits.
