Pierced Ears?

[maz]

but it's quite common for Drs and piercers who are asked about the procedure, to recommend that it be done either BEFORE 8 months of age, or then left until after the child's 3rd birthday, because that window in between is when littlies discover body parts and start to pull and tug at their bits and pieces, especially their ears etc, increasing the risk of infection. It's thought that piercing a baby's ears before they hit that curious and capable 8-month mark will decrease the risk of infection or damage to the lobes because they haven't yet worked out how to pull or touch their ears, and they can heal without interference, and it's easier for Mum to clean them as they are more likely to be able to sit still/be held still while it's being done twice daily.

oh really...find that interesting but yep totally understandable. I gather thats why circumsision ( so cant spell sorry) is done so early, off track I know but another understandable thing to a degree.

I dont know how my lot would have gone getting their ears done that early though, mine all threw their hands up around their head alot and loved tugging at their ears.

Never less I still cant justify doing it to my babies no matter how cute it might look but hey, each to their own
