19-11-2008 - ear piercing! wonderousMy mood while writing this blog:
wonderous



I've been thinking about getting Taelynn's ears pierced when she is about 3 months old and was wondering how many of you mommies did or didnt get your daughter's ears pierced and why? They look so freakin cute with their ears pierced but I dont want my baby getting an infection or anything bad happening to her ears! I really would like a doctor to pierce her ears if I decide to do so because its more sterile for a doctor to do it than walmart or somewhere else that does ear piercings. I dont know if my doctor does it or not I havent seen him my last few appointments but I would like any input you ladies might have! I also had this blog on myspace but thought I would also bring it to the "mommy site" :) thanks in advance!!

I got my daughters ears pierced when she was six months old after gettin the okay from the doctor. I wanted to make sure that she had all the shots she needed just in case they did get infected. I did have him do it just to be on the safe side but he i had to buy my own studs. which was okay because i got to chose the ones i wanted and not just what was there like in most places.

I didn't get my ears pierced till I was 5, but if I was having a little girl I would do it as young as a could cause it only hurts worse I think the older you get!! Plus it's so freakin' cute when they are that tiny : )

I had my ears pierced when i was 4 mths old. I don't know about where you live, but out here they only pierce one ear at a time and make you wait X amount of time to see about reactions. Personally, I would say it is totally adorable & I have found one place that will do both at the same time so i plan on getting my little girls ears done as soon as shes about 3mths aswell!

I'm leaving that choice to my daughter. I got my ears pierced when i was 7. It was a big day and i still remeber iit, it was a step to grow up! I was so happy. So I will not mess with my daughters apperence unless it is her own choice.

I got my daughters done at 6 months, just make sure you clean them a lot if you rdo....But Ive had no problems with them ever!

I got my daughter's ears pierced when she was 2 1/2. She REALLY REALLY wanted them pierced, and I wanted her to have them done too. We did it and she cried for a brief second and then she LOVED LOVED them. She is 4 1/2 now and we've never had a single infection. We do a good job of cleaning them and changing them too though. I also have a 15 month old daughter and am waiting until she thinks she is old enough to get them pierced too. One suggestion whenever you do it, if they are little, make sure you can have both ears done at the same time. So that way they only have one second of pain instead of two...

I got my daughter's ears pierced @ 3 months and mine were done @ 3 months, would do it again in a heart beat :)

LOL I got my ears pierced when I was in the hospital by my tia. The doctors and nurses flipped out! But well the damage was done. I never had an infection or anything because I obviously did not fuss with them and my mom would take a lot of care cleaning them. I am going to pierce my daughters ears as soon as I can. Her tio is getting married in July (she is due in March), and I want to make sure that they are done and basically healed by then....

My mom took me to the doctors and had mine pierced when i was around 5 and my doctor totally messed up. One was so far down then she re-pierced it so now it looks like one long hole. I haven't decided when I'm taking my daughter.

I went to have mine pierced when I was 12. I remember how special i felt to go as I had been asking forever for it to be done. We went just after my birthday and I felt like it was something very special and grown up- and was a day i still remember very well as I went with my Mom. I don't think I'd ever pierce the ears of my daughter at a baby age if I had one- just because of how special that experience was for me.

if you wait longer its acually eaiser for them to get infections, because they touch there ears, but when there small they dont. I dont know what im having yet, but if i have a girl i will probobly get them done early.

I took my daughter when she was two months old. She only cried for a moment by time we left she was ok. It was heart breaking knowing that you've just inflicted pain on your baby, but I think it is best to do it at a young age. As long as you keep them clean you should have no problems. I think its best to do it when they are young that way they wont pull on them and bother with them. I have a cousin that didn't get hers peirced until she was 7-8 yrs old and she kept messing with them, got them infected. It was a mess, now she is in her 20's and she dont have them pierced. My mom took me when I was 5 and mine were ok. It just depends on the child I think. But if you do it early, they wont mess with them, inmy opinion.

Hey girlie! I actually manage a Claire's store where ear piercing is done. I pierce infants pretty often and you dont really hear about babies getting infections too often. I mostly believe its because obviously..they're babies and mommas pay special attention to cleanliness. If you choose to do it, I'd wait til about 6 months. Give her ears a little time to grow so she has some earlobe to work with..in the long run, this will assure you that the placement will be good for her as her ears continue to grow. Make sure whoever pierces your baby puts her dots DIRECTLY in the center of the lobe..and also make sure you tell them you dont want the backs showing. sometimes places will do them at a funny angle and you can see the backs. (not so cute) if you choose to have your doctor pierce her, make sure you look at the placement and dont be afraid to speak up..sometimes doctors dont care about where they ut the earrings. but i assure you if you decided to go to a Claire's store, we take every precaution possible and are most definitely sterile :-) If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer em' for ya!

I was also thinking the same thing BUT I think I have decided to wait until she is older and actually wants them done. I remember begging my mom to take me when I was like 7 and I felt so grown up when she finally took me:) LOL Ithink I might want to save it as a bonding thing for when she is older! Can you imagine how cool she is gonna think I am the day I take her?LOL

X-LeahsMummy-X - Wednesday, 19 Nov
Iv been thinking the same.. im really not sure weather to or not. although if i did id probs do it at about 9 months ish or maybe a little later, the main thing im worried about is weather they tug on them and what if there just playing and catch it and rip it out?? could that easily happen, humm i dunnoo xx (sorry i realise i didnt answer ur question but just thought id say lol)
