So my daughter is 13 months old. We pierced her ears about 9 months ago. Over the weekend we purchased new earrings but can not remove her old ones. No matter what I do the won’t come out. They’re not the screw earrings. Any suggestions on how to take them out without hurting her

Have u not been turning them? I remember when I was a kid, they told me to turn them ever so often so they won't attach to the skin.

Are you saying the backs just won't come off? That's happened with both my daughters...the first time we had to cut them off with pliers....we haven't done anything yet with this daughter but if hubby can't get then off when we get a new pair, idk what else to do

The backs you need to pull off hard, in order to not hurt her grasp the front firmly with one hand and pull the backs hard with the other.

What lifewithlynnieandwill88 said. You should turn them. It is also good to remove them every once in a while to clean both ear and earrings because it can get stinky back there.
I had an earring stuck when I was around 3/4 yrs old and had to get it medically removed. My mom would always check my ears and the 1 time she didnt it got stuck. (The back of the earring was so far in...it had to be removed from the front side of my ear)
Try some oil, soap or dish detergent. Let it sit for a while and try. If you cant take them out I would suggest going to a doctor

@lifewithlynnieandwill88, they’re not stuck to her skin, the back is stuck on the earring post. So when we try to pull the back off it doesn’t budge

@tyrellp, I read about using a warm washcloth to loosen it. Thanks we’ll have to try it

Hmm. Yeah, try some grease or oil!
