Whatch Think??? Posted: 02-29-04 18:38pm
What do you think about getting a babies
ears pierced? I am due in may and want to
get my little girls ears pierced, but im
not sure yet. I would always go to the
mall and see babies getting it done and it
looks like it hurts them alot because they
cry and cry afterwards. My bf doesnt want
me to and if I do it it will be with out
him knowing about it. I think it would
look cute, and it would be my babies
birthstone. I want whats best for my
baby, but this is like and accesory(sp).
Its not a "must have" but it would look
nice and I want my angel to look her best.
So if you guys were having a girl what
would you do, or if you have had a girl
what did you do and why? Thanks!!!

I don't think its a bad idea, but you have
to wait until she is at least 6 months
old, but honestly I would just wait until
she is like 2 or 3. But that is just a
personal opinion!

I think its a great idea* my mom got mine
and my little sisters done when we were
only a few months old. I think its best,
I mean they dont remember the pain long
and sense their so young they dont know
whats even comin then a few minutes later
its over. It looks adorable. Plus, my
mmom always said sometimes when their so
young and have such short hair, having
earrings makes it more obvious that its a
girl right away. Lol* if I were havin a
girl , I would but were pretty sure mines
a boy*

The babies only have to have their first
set of shots. Which is at 2 months if I
remember correctly. They say that
because incase they get an infection or
anything from the piercing..Just wait to
have shots to be on the safe side. I got
my daughters done a day before her shots,
I couldn't wait and I knew she was getting
immunized the next day. Each piercing
place is different as far as the ages they
pierce. I went to the piercing pagoda in
the mall and that was the only place I
could find to do it so young. But please
don't do it w/out telling your bf (if hes
the dad). Believe me, I was going to do
it that way also because jayden's dad
didn't want her to have them done, but I
talked him into it. It breaks a trust
issue if you do it behind his back. And
also, would you like it if he took her to
get something done when she was that
little knowing you didn't want it done??
Chances are..No. It took me months to
talk steve into it. I was begging from
the day I found out I was having a girl.
He finally caved in and he loves her ears
now!!! It is best to do them when they
are young because they are easily
distracted after the piercing and they
stop crying quite quickly (jayden barely
cried) keep a bottle handy!!! Also they
don't play with them when they get to be a
little older like some toddlers do. She
would be used to them therefore you
probably won't have problems w/her trying
to get them out.
