Should I peirce her ears?
Answer:
I think that if your going to do it than you should go ahead while she's small because it only hurts for a minute. They can do both ears at the same time so it is not quite as bad.
me and hubby also were discussing this particular subject we decided to wait until she's older or wants them herself.
after all why cause you and your hubby and soon to be new baby more stress and pain over something that can always be done later on in life.
I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION.
I think it's super cute when a baby girl's ear are pierced. You should wait at least until after her first tetanus shot.
no
It's her body, so let her get old enough to decide and then go have them done. Think about it... how would you feel if someone made that decision for you?
It also opens the baby up to more infection and let's face it, babies are fragile enough. If you pierce her ears, it's just one more thing to worry about... and disinfect.
My daughter is a year old and I was debating the same thing, however my only concern is that she would accidentally rip them out and hurt herself... I guess this is totally up to you. If your not worried about her tearing them out then I say go for it.
I don't think it could hurt. If she doesnt like it when she grows up all she has to do is stop wearing the earings and the holes will fill in. My mom did it to my sister and she's 19 now and doesnt go a day without wearing them.
I personally think that piercing the ears of anyone under the age of 13 is wong. Whether or not they want their ears pierced should be THEIR choice, not yours. Plus, it is painful and more importantly dangerous for a baby and small child to have their ears pierced. Just wait...you'll be glad you did.
I suggest 2 years. My friend's dad is a doctor, and he did all three of his girls at 2. He said it's because they were young enough to let their parents have control over it and also to not remember the pain, and yet old enough for them to soon be very interested.
Good luck!
A newborn has enough to deal with without her ears being pierced. Let her make the decision when she's old enough to choose. At least the holes can grow closed, so no tattoos until she's 18. God Bless you and your wonderful family.
At this point in time you'll be the one choosing everything for your daughter anyway. You will decide if her hair is short or long, what style clothes and so on, at least until she starts talking and having her own opinions. There's nothing wrong with piercing her ears as a baby. It isn't anymore pain than getting her shots and everything. You're right, she probably will want them done one day herself, and if not , all she has to do is not wear any earrings.
My mother had my ears pierced when I was 2 months old. I'm glad she did it while I was young because I don't remember going through the pain. She couldn't bear watching "her baby" be in pain, though, so my aunt actually held me.
do it when shess about 1month old
When my niece was born my sister was debating whether or not do get her daughters ears pierced. But like you said, she would get it done anyway and it makes little girls look sooo cute :D It's suppose to hurt the baby for like a second but my neice didnt even cry. Babies dont even pay attention to it afterwards. Make sure you take care of the ears though. That would be more pain for her to go through that then actually getting them pierced.
Don't do it there is a risk of infection and even more pain that comes with that. I am 29 years old and had mine done when I was a baby, they are crooked and I had it done so long ago that I stopped wearing earrings about 10 years ago and they are still opened. I wished I was given the choice.
I did it to my daughter when she was 3 months. I'm now noticing that her piercing is no longer symmetrical with the other ear and no longer centered (forgot the earlobe would grow awkwardly). Said something to my husband about doing my son's as well, until I noticed this and decided against it! Neither will any of my future daughters. I'm even thinking about removing my daughter's now, so that they can close and when she wants, can have them done again! Plus it does hurt the baby and you have to keep them clean and hope she won't tug at them and so on!
NO,I WOULD WAIT UNTIL SHE IS OLDER TO MAKE HER OWN DECISION SHE MIGHT NOT WANT IT DONE. ALSO, I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE CRUEL TO TAKE A YOUNG BABY THROUGH SO MUCH PAIN. SHE DOESN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. SO, IF I HAD A DAUGHTER I WOULD WAIT UNTIL SHE WANTED IT DONE.
The thing is is that you want to get them as early and non mobile as poosible. trying to get a 2 year old to sit still is HELL!! So I would say the earlier the better, quick and easy.
GOOD LUCK
YES! I am pregnant also and planning on piercing my daughters ears. My friends that have girls all did it and they dais it wasn't that bad. Hey it is the begining of what we women do to beautify ourselves!
I think it looks SO SO cute on a baby girl!
I have heard the younger the better (right at 3 months) as far as pain..
My ears closed up at age 8 and when I got them repierced it hurt like HELL!! I still remember..But I do not remember the infant piercing of course! DO it!
Please let her decide why would you put your gift of life in pain? She probably will peirce her ears somday but then again maybe she wont.
Of course, this will be totally up to you, but I would wait until she is at least a few years old. I waited until my daughter was almost 3 before piercing her ears and although she no longer has them at age 6, I'm thankful I waited because her body rejected them - the old "foreign object" is what her Doctor said. Her body rejected her earrings and her earlobes began to form cysts. After taking them out, her Doctor had to cauterize her lobes where the piercing was. He said it is not common, but not uncommon. I know of one person that has had the same issue and she has to where pure ivory studs and she says it is too expensive. Thankfully my daughter has no scars on her lobes but I won't put her back through that. Her Doctor said that most likely her body will never accept earrings.
Wait until she is old enough to want them, and responsible enough to take care of them. It really doesn't hurt that much, even if you do it when she is 12, she won't remember the pain for very long.
my oldest daughter is 4 and has short hair and is always being mistaken for a boy, especailly if she has a hat on or is wearing clothes that are not "girly"...her dad and I discussed piercing her ears..but we decided that she can get her ears pierced when she is old enuf to take care of them... I definalty do not want to have to deal with an infection in her ears...and my youngest daughter (4.5 months) seems to be going in the same direction with hair growth ( as in it is not growing..lol) but again until she is old enuf to take care of them herself we are not piercing her ears...that is my view on it...if ur daughter wants her ears pierced..she will let u know when she is ready...until then...enjoy her "au natural" because before long she may have piecings where u dont want them...lol
My rule of thumb for my girls, was they had to be old enough to turn their own earrings and put the solution on themselves. And of course making the decision to sit there and let them do it.
I would wait. I had mine done with i was born and now (at age 19) one hole is off center from the fact that my ears have grown.
I am not a fan of causing an infant any physical pain, so I would say no. Why would you hurt a baby because it looks good. That 's just mean. hurting a baby for fashion, it's tacky and mean.
