EARRINGS!
For moms with girls, will you be piercing their ears? If so, when?
I don't plan to do it until she's old enough to want it or ask for it. I just don't feel comfortable having them done as a baby. I worked at Claire's and pierced many babies ears and I absolutely hated it... I never understood why parents wanted to do that to their babies... I can hardly handle shots let alone piercing her ears for appearance.
We are waiting until she asks for it like my parents did with me. They made it an exciting day out just for me.
I recommend going to a tattoo/piercing shop, not Claire's. I got an infection even though i took very good care of my ears, as an adult ive gotten pierced at shops multiple times and have never had an issue.
I did my first daughter’s ears when she turned 1 and let me tell you... it was a DISASTER! Either wait until their old enough or do it while they are young and can’t pull away and hurt themselves. I’m going to do my newborn’s ears when she’s about 3 months old. If I don’t by then, then I’ll just leave it till she’s old enough
My oldest daughter (16) had hers done when she was 4yo as she asked for them. My second daughter hasn't ever had hers pierced (she's 5) but has never mentioned wanting earrings and my new baby daughter won't have hers done either unless she asks for them. My son had one of his ears pierced around 5/6 but wanted it out not long afterwards and hasn't wanted it ever again lol. I leave it up to my kids to decide ?
I heard a lot of people do it at 2 months after shots. This is my 1st girl so I was curious to know what other mamas are doing. I can't wait for little earrings ?
What's a good age to let a baby girl get her ears pierced?
Bit of a touchy subject- people's opinions on piercing babies/ young ones ears??
My baby girl was diagnosed with bronchitis :( my son with double ear infection, and my ear almost ruptured this 3 day weekend.
Where did you mommas go and get your babies ear/ears pierced? I hear a tattoo shop is better than the gun.
We're probably going to have her doctor do them at 6 months
