ears peirced on a baby???
in Baby
evening everyone hope everyone is ok ....right i am posting this after something ive just read on my fb but i DO NOT WANT AN ARGUEMENT its just MY opinion and i know its none of my beeswax what other people do ,im just intrigued to hear if anyone has had there young babies ears peirced ,there reasons why they wanted to ...i want to know because i can not for the life of me understand why anyone would want to do it ..it bloody hurts and surely they might pull them out ,get infected etc???
ok so a girl on my fb has written that she wants to know where is cheap to get her 4 month old daughters ears peirced ...there are 34 comments everyone with an opinion ,which is fine but i dont understand why she is doing it?! it looks common in a young child imo and surely its putting them at higher risk of infection???
ok answers on a postcard please

I totaly agree. I think it's really cruel having babies ears pierced and can't understand why it is legal in young babies.
However, my mum had my ears pierced when I was 2 as I asked for them and it has not done me any harm.
I think it all depends on the age but having babies ears pierced is awful.

I will b getting heidis ears done in about months time.my mum get me and little sis done every early and never had any prob with them(infection or pulling them) I think if keep clean like u would at any age they will b fine!
I will only b kkeeping really small studs in heidi till she is older!no need for hoops as they can catch fingeers in holes!
This is a personal thing more ppl prob will not like it but am one who does.
On another note - I have seen a few Asian children with thir ears and nose pierced but as this is for cultural reasons I don't see a problem with it.
i dont want this to sound at all bad or in any way a relection on being prejedice towards young mums BUT is it something that is more often done by a younger mum than an older one?? (im 26 and count myself as a young mum btw so im not labelling anyone) the girl im talking about isnt 21 yet and this is her 2nd baby!! just wondering xx
I have a 4 year old who kept asking me to have them done but I have said no not until I beilve she is old enough to make an informed descion not one based on her friends having them done so there is no way on earth I would piece my babies ears!
on the subject I have been told im hypicritical because I have pieceings and tatoos! I would like to say, yes I have I dont deny it but I was old enough to make that desicion for myslef (minus the ears!!) and my children will be allow when they are old enough not to look awful!
I remember when i got my ears pierced, i was 13 years old and i went on and on at my mum to have them done coz all my friends had their ears pierced and it really hurt, plus i got an infection around the piercing, wasn't nice. Now i don't even wear earrings, have tried to put them in but it hurts so i guess the holes have closed.
Don't understand, as a mother, how you can put your baby through that?
Personally, I dont really like it on babies, little girls who have decided themselves I dont mind. But anyways, i have a baby boy so no worries for me!!

Out of interest, what age do you think it is ok for girls to get it done? I was 13 and I think if I ever have a girl I would make them wait until they were around this age. Perhaps that's unrealistic though.
not to sure on the age thing, im only 19 (im expecting a boy) but if i wer to ever have a girl i wouldnt ever peirce her ears, not untill she was old enough to make a proper informed decition herself, my mum wouldnt let me get mine peirced untill i was 12, so if i wer to ever have a daughter she would have to be around 12/13 before i let her get her ears peirced!!!!
No offence to anyone who does get their babies ears peirced, i just don't like seeing babys ears peirced, but thats just my personal opinion

But who knows until we are there!!

personally for me, I would want them to be 14 before having them done. I made the desicion at 14 to have my belly button pierced and have not regretted my desicion and I think its an age where there seems to be a huge leap (mentally and physically) for girls from being 13, iyswim. this of course just my opinion.
