Opinions on getting girls ears pierced when they're born? Please and thank you.
I did my daughter's when she was two months old and she literally cried for 10 seconds and then she was fine like nothing ever happened...she's never messed with them and we didn't have any issues bc she was so small I took care of all the cleaning and turning. now she's about to be 5 and loves to pick out her own jewelry. if #2 is a girl I will probably do the same thing...and some doctors offices do pierce baby's ears if you ask so that you know it is sanitary and safe.
If you decide to do it she needs to have her first round of shots I believe. However like a few of the other commenting Mommas, I waited and let my daughter decide on her own since its cosmetic and her body.
I got my first done when she was a month old, honestly I think the sooner the better.... and just gave her some baby Ib probin, right before to ease the pain... I hobo she cried for two mins and went back to sleep
I have tattoos and piercings and I think it's a choice for you're daughter to make. it's something she has to live with forever, even if you take them out there is still a scar no matter how fast. if you do I highly recommend finding a great tattoo parlor to get them done in. the kiosks at the mall are not sanitary and piercing guns cannot be cleaned fully. just do the research!
My daughter got hers as soon as she could but I think you have to wait until there second set of shots or 4 months or something I don't remember exactly.. My daughter slept through the whole thing and when she woke didn't cry at all..
I think girls need to be at least 3 months old and have their shots from what I've heard I could be wrong
Personally I waited till my daughters were old enough to decide for themselves before I did. I asked them if they wanted to before they did it, and told them it would hurt a little. They both opted for it and were able to understand. I just feel like piercing a baby girls ears seems mean, when they're so tiny and have no idea whats going on.
wait until she get her shots.. then she can get her ears pierced 😘
