Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / July 2004Question for moms of babies with peirced ears
What kind of earings do you use? Bonnie had been doing really good with her earings for a long time. She has had them in since she was 6 months old and every 8 months or so we fly throuh an eight pack of um like nothing. Do you ever use hoops? I have just been using the kind with safety backs but short of spanking her hand every time she touches her ear I dont know how to keep the things in. I would not worry except after only a few days of them being out the last time the holes seemed smaller and I do not want to risk it hurting her to get the earings in and out. I had taken them out due to irritation from the earings she had before and wanted to give them a few days to heal.. they looked itchy.. it must have been a straggler pair from the ones that had irratated her ears before.

Never has, I think its just her personality. I prefer the kind with the screw on safety backs for the younger girls because they can't take them out themselves. I've tried using the cheap earrings you buy in multiples, but all the girls get infected ears when I try that. Denise > What kind of earings do you use?

My daughter had her ears pierced at 3 mos and she ripped one out completely when she was a toddler. She's 8.5 now and she just got them re-pierced a few months ago. It took *years* to heal and she still had to have the new hole pierced above the other scar so it never really healed totally. Not worth it IMO. Kari > Not on a toddler i wouldn't.

Thank you. I hope she gets over playing with her ears soon. Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > What kind of earings do you use?

I actualy had to have my ears repierced when I was 8 or 9 since we let my piercings close that I got when I was 5 and now I have 2 holes in 1 ear right next to each other because that ear never healed completly just enough in the back to make it impossible to get an earing all the way through. It made putting in earings verry painful as a child so I would like to avoid hers closing since she is not allergic to all the types of metals I seemed to be allergic to as a child. Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 Tori they make earrings for kids that have the backs that have to be squeezed to get off but I'm not sure where to find them. I will ask around. also you can try the stud type earrings because they are harder to remove the backs from. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 My daughter only wears studs with child safety backs. She has had them since she was 4 months (now 24 mo) and doesn't play with them at all. I plan on keeping her in the piercing studs until she is 7 or 8. The studs made for piercing are typically harder to take out so we prefer those. Sunshine > My daughter only wears studs with child safety backs. She has had > them since she was 4 months (now 24 mo) and doesn't play with them at [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Sunshine we lost the peircing studs when she got the backs off at about 12 months;) She goes through spurts of playing with her ears and we go through a multi pack quickly and then we get a new pack and she will leave them alone for a few months then it starts all over. We put the peircing studs back in when we realized that she was reacting to the earings my sil gave her and not long after they were gone:( Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > What kind of earings do you use?

Is it that necessary for a toddler to sport earrings, at the cost of pain and irritation? Did you pierce them at 6 mos. just for yourself or did she ask to have them pierced? oj > > What kind of earings do you use? Bonnie had been doing really good with her > > earings for a long time. She has had them in since she was 6 months old and [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > oj k I am being highly sarcastic right now.. Yes she asked me to peirce her ears. She said to me in a verry excited voice that she wanted to get them done so she could start her way to getting as many earings as her grandmother. That said, I was not looking for a "why in the world did you peirce your childs ear post" That is why I did not ask every mother to answer what I should do just mothers of babies that have their ears peirced. I dont care if others find earings in little girls to be good/bad because I am Bonnies mother and I get to make those desisions. Since I know in this life that others have had their childrens ears peirced I wanted to know how they delt with losing earings like mad now and then. I peirced them because I wanted my little girl to have peirced ears their is no other reason good or bad. For the most part they do NOT cause her pain and have never been more then a little irratated because I look at them every day to make sure that they look ok and I have since they where done. I would have peirced them sooner but we asked a pediatritian what age he thought she could safely have them peirced and he said 6 months because she had little ears. BTW I have a friend that is 27 years old and she is just as bad as Bonnie with losing the backs of the same brand of earings so I was kinda thinking the ones I got just have bad backs. Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > I dont care if others find earings in little girls to be > good/bad because I am Bonnies mother and I get to make those > desisions. No, you really don't. It's HER body to modify as she sees fit. Not yours. tristyn www.tristyn.net > > I dont care if others find earings in little girls to be > > good/bad because I am Bonnies mother and I get to make those [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > tristyn > www.tristyn.net Apartently I do.. since she has peirced ears. Like I said I was not asking for opinions on IF I should peirce them since I dont agree that it is wrong. It is the same reason I wont be asking opinions on Circ. or hair dying or tatoos All of which I have an opinion on and unless you are my dh I dont care what your opinion is of them. Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > Apartently I do.. since she has peirced ears. Just because you went and did it doesn't mean you had a right to. If I have the physical ability to go around breaking people's noses, does that mean I have the right to do it? tristyn www.tristyn.net tori do you have a place called sally's beauty supply you can get her studs there for relatively cheap instead of going through packs and packs of the cheapy earrings and these might even last longer. If you don't have a sally's you can check any beauty supply place they could also have them. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 Thanks! I have heard of Sally's Do you have to be a beautitian to shop there? I will check it out anyway. I would rather pay more for a pair of earings that will be findable then the cheap ones that end up costing me more;) Tori SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > tori > do you have a place called sally's beauty supply you can get her studs there [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Jennifer > Ariana 8/17/03 actually no I don't know a beautician but anyone can shop in there. I go in there to get hair dyes, brushes and all kinds of nail stuff all the time. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 |
