He's 18 months.

It’s advised not to put them on toddlers younger than 4. Similar to other suffocation risks, the chance of suffocation decreases after 4 y.o

I read in the American academy of pediatric that over a year you can.. just be mindful of small bits or beads of any. I’m Dominican, so I see babies at 6 months old with gold necklaces lol

I let my kids wear them around 18 months, but we take them off for every nap and bedtime

My daughter got a gold necklace for her 2nd birthday but she would the medallion charm in her mouth so i didn’t let her wear it. I’d say avoid it until he no longer puts things in his mouth. She’s 4 now and wears it regularly but i still remove it every night to avoid it getting caught on something as she moves around a lot at night.
