1. When is the best time to pierce( at what age)?
2. Does it matter in what season shld i pierce her ears?.
3.What kind of earings shld i choose?
Plse advice! Thnq for ur time.
HI I just had my babys done last week she is 7mths. The age doesnt matter its weather the earlobe is big enough. I would suggest to go to a hairdresser rether then a chemist as they seem to know what they are doing more then the chemist (my personel opinion) I just got studs put in my babys ears to start with while they heal as it is easier to turn the earing. Also rather then cream I got a spray this way I dont have to touch her ears I just spray it on and thats it. As far as seasons go I have never heard of there being a good season to do it in. hope this helps.
hi i had my daughters donne at 6 months old they told me to put a numbing cream on them she didnt cry has never touched them and i dont think it matters what season it is done good luck
I had my daughter done at 12 mths.... they said then they dont touch babies under 6 mths
they offered double gun method but forgot to press one of the guins...she didnt cry at all though
If she gets older ands hates them she can take them out and they will close..... she is very good though and doesnt touch them..... she has had studs and sleepers but i still like sleepers best.......and i had hypo allergenic as i hve a nickel allergy and wanted to keep her ears from getting bad
I feel you are targetting parents who have choose to have their child's ears pierced.
My husband and myself decided together to have our 1st daughters ears pierced. I don't think it's really anyone else's business or decision to make. Everyone who decides to have their child's ears done, has their own reasons for doing so.
If and when, she comes to me and says she wants them out, then I will take them out!
I know i am a little late to reply to your question, but i really hope you get to read my reply still. I have to say, i'm not as calm as some of the other mums about this topic. I think it is simply horrid to inflict pain on your child. It's bad enough when you have to do it for medical reasons or anything like that, but for something that is visually pleasing to you, that's just barbaric. Why do you want to pierce your daughter's ears? What is the purpose of her having pierced ears, if it's not just for you? And i agree with the other mums that say they are HER ears, they aren't yours. Do you think just because you gave birth to her, that you have ownership and final say over things like that? I am just in shock....
REPLY TO MAXSMUM WELL IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN AND ITS OUR CHOICE NOT YOURS!!!!!!!. WE COME TO MINTI TO GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO WANT TO JUDGE US FOR OUR OWN CHOICES WE MAKE AS PARENTS. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL US BARBARIC. LIKE I SAID MY DAUGTER CRIED A LITTLE BUT AS SOON AS I GAVE HER A CHOCLATE SHE WAS FINE SHE HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT. IM SO SORRY THAT I HAVENT WRAPPED MY BABY UP IN BUBBLE WRAP. IM SHOCKED THAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CALL US THAT.
I think the earlier the better. I got my little girl ears pierced about 4-5mths. I wanted her ears pierced before she started teething. She hardly tugged at them when she was teething, but at least they'd been in for a few months beforehand.
If your little one is going to tug at their ears, I assume sleepers would come out alot easier, therefore I think studs are best to start with.
Koen was pierced at 6 months old but lost the earing since then, i reckon the younger the better :) i was done at 6 months old for my christening, and i still have them same earrings in :)
i dont see how seasons could matter with ear piercing....
gold hoop earrings are the best, they are usually pierced with a stud at first so leave them in until her lobes are healed then you can go pick out a cute set of gold hoops :)
my daughter got hers done on her 4th birthday cause she asked,but it was hard to find someone to do it even at that age they don't like to touch them at a young age anymore don't no exact why some places refused
in my experience the best time to have your babies ears pierced is as soon as its possible i personally did my kids at 2 mths old cause at that age the pain goes away faster and also they are not at the age where they will pull at them the longer u wait the more eritated with it they might get and there is a good chance they will pull it off and urt them .
studs is the best until they are about 5 when they can choose an earing themselfes .
i agree with th others, my mum got my ears done as a bay when i had my booster needes so that it was all in one go, by the time i was in school and everyone was getting them done in year three i just wanted more peircings. im leaving it till my daughter asks me.
I agree with everyone else. They are her ears, and babies get enough shots in their first year, that is enough pain, and it helps them. Let her decide.
Most girls will want their ears pierced when they are at school after seeing other girls with them. Why not wait until then, when she asks. Your daughter is only a baby so really u would only be having them pierced for yourself because u like it, not because your baby wants them done. Why inflict that pain unnecessarily when she can make that decision herself when she is older.
It's your choice to when you get your children's ears pierced. Personally my choice, and like a few other's have said, wait until she's older to get them done.
My daughter's 4 and i havent got her's done. I just don't like to see ears pierced on children under 8. It doesn't look right i don't think. Just doesn't look nice for some reason, but that 's just me.
my sisters and I all got ours done at 12 months. I had nothing but problems with them and my sisters were fine.
I would leave it till shes old enough to decide but in the end its your choice.
I TO HAVE A BABY 6 MTHS AND AM THINKING OF GETTIN HERS DONE. MY COUSIN GOT HER BABIES EARS DONE AT 4 MTHS NO DRAMA THEY USE TWO GUNS AT THE SAME TIME LITTLE ONES DON'T MAKE A FUSS. IT'S WHEN THEY REACH 12MTHS AND ON THEY START KICKING AND SCREAMING AND TRYING TO CLEAN THEM IS THE END OF THE WORLD/ BUT BABIES DON/T MAKE MUCH FUSS.
I am waiting for Amy to ask to have her ears pierced and then I will wait until the asking becomes begging so when she is about 30!!!! (Only joking) I agree that this is something for the child to decide to have and that at 4 months your daughter is too young and fragile. Keep her as a baby for as long as possible after all they grow fast enough as it is.
I do think she is too young. I had mine pierced at 8 years because I begged my Mum. You should leave it until she is much older. Besides when she starts to crawl she could have an accident especially if you decide on a sleeper they earring and also they would be unconfortable to sleep in. Reconsider?
I am sorry to have to say this but, the best age is when your daughter is old enough to make her own mind up about whether she wants them pieaced or not. I have heard lots of horrible stories about parents having to hold infants down while having this done and i think it amounts to nothing but torture. its bad enough taking them for their first injection at the doctors. Often after having this done the child is frightened and unsettled for along time. The thing that you should be thinking is not whether the time is right or the type of earings to chose but the effect that this could have on your child. after all the ears belong to her and not you. would you like the idea of someone deciding where to pieace your body then holding you down often against your will to do it ? I strongly suspect you or anybody else would say no. Having three daughters of my own the oldest is 15 and has just plucked up the courage to have hers done.
Yep and I totally agree . . . It's definitely best to wait and let your little one choose . . They are her ears after all . . .
I waited for my girls and the eldest waited until she was 13 . . my middle girl was 7 and even though i wasn't sure she was . . . Next is my baby and i reckon it will be a long time coming.
Babies ears can get so easily infected and what happens if you little angel has ear probs . .
