Are you Piercing you're baby girls ears?

Question

Answer

Either of my kids (I have a son and a daughter on the way) can decide when/if to get their ears pierced. I’d like it to be their decision.

Answer

Nope. Not my ears, not my decision.

Answer

If my child(ren) want their ears pierced and are old enough to ask for it and be responsible for the basic cleaning when they get it done, I’ll do it. I respect their right to choose what to do with their own bodies so no ear piercing or circumcision or tattoos when they’re infants

Answer

From 9 months until age 4 I used to hate getting the studs cleaned, if I didn't I'd get infections. So it was fine at first as a baby, but then my parents would have to both pin me down and hold my head to get them off and on! For that reason, I won't do my daughter's until she wants them. But I have zero ethical issues with babies getting pierced, it's more of a practical issue.

Answer

I work in a Pediatric ER and I’ve seen too many toddlers that have swallowed earrings or stuck them in their ears/nose for me to pierce ears before they are old enough to take care of them themselves. I was 9 when I got mine done, and I never had any issues.

Answer

My older two girls I waited til they asked.  That was terrible. They played with them horrible they got infected and my older of the 2 ripped her lobe!   My older of my younger daughter's had hers done at 3 months and she never plays with them nor have we had an issue. My 12 day old will be getting hers done asap as well.  I figure they get older they can take them out if they don't want them in

Answer

I have a two year old and I didn’t. It wasn’t really a priority for me. She can pierce them when she’s older if she wants to.

Answer

Be sure to go to a professional piercer and not to Walmart or Claire’s (or places like those) earring guns are horrible tools that use blunt force to pierce ears. Piercing needles are a lot better and causes let damage to you or your little ones ears. Plus its way cleaner than someone using a earring that’s reused and unsanitary.

Answer

I had mine done when I was 8 it was my birthday present from Mum and also how old my older sister and Mum where when they got theirs done.

Answer

It's tradition to do it for the first birthday in my family, I will probably continue the tradition.
