Ears Pierced

3 weeks old



It is tradition in my family to have Mom/Grandma pierce our ears. She pierced Mine, Hudsens, several others in the family and now Allie's. She did so good, and looks so beautiful.

Was searching for a GF's blog and came across yours. Started reading and came across your post about making the decision to go and having your dd's ears pierced by her GM at 3 wks old. What a wonderdful tradition. I think you were a smart and thoughtful mommy for piercing your girl ears early.

Admittedly, I know a lot of people have strong feelings when to pierce a child’s ear. “Let them decide” is being replaced by parental decision when mommy intuition knows, “earlier is better” from either personal or friend’s experiences of unpleasant childhood ear piercing.

I think it just depends on your own personal choice whether or not you wish your baby or little girl to have pierced ears.

Congrats on making a thoughtful decision on behalf of your dd's. I think babies with earrings are the cutest things. It celebrates their femininity and femaleness. After all, they are little girls. Our ped encouraged to have our dd done as an infant too. She gave me some tips for "Care of Newly Pierced Ears."

Promise your girls will thank you later for the "gift of pierced ears" as an infant. If you or any mom would like any of our ped’s care tips for infants, then don’t hesitate to write me an e-mail.
