Baby Jewelry Safety

Let's face it, baby jewelry is adorable and it's hard to resist buying that teeny bracelet or tiny necklace to decorate a new infant. If you're going to do it, however, make sure that you keep safety in mind. Here are some key safety issues to keep in mind while shopping:

• Make sure that the material is hypoallergenic.
• Make sure that beads or charms are tightly woven so there is no risk that they will fall off and be swallowed
• Select high-quality materials that will not chip or break apart and become choking hazards.
• Make sure that the jewelry has a safe latch (DO NOT pick jewelry with sharp clasps or pin latches).
