But when my daughter is old enough to request having her ears pierced, then I will happily use the information you provided. <br /><br />Thanks again!The Lasher Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239600474623771489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109672916717672100.post-84552453993230860302011-08-07T11:12:27.020-04:002011-08-07T11:12:27.020-04:00When a New Baby is lying in your arms, you start t...When a New Baby is lying in your arms, you start to imagine his or her future. They are beautiful, kind little people with dreams of <br />changing the world for the better. You want your precious angel to have gems hanging off of her ears but you know do not know when the <br />right time is.<br /><br />The best time to pierce your baby’s ears is with in the first few months because a baby’s senses are not yet fully developed so they will <br />not be aware of the pain for a long period of time. Some babies do not feel the ear piercing at all. What’s more important is where you get <br />it done.<br /><br />When you create your checklist for new baby one of the thing you want to add is to research a good ear-piercer. Children fidget and cry so <br />make you choose an experienced piercer that has done infant ears before. I have friends that got their ears pierced as a baby and their holes are crooked or uneven. Your children will have to live with these piercings for their whole life so you really want to make sure you <br />know what you are doing and who you are trusting to pierce her.<br /><br />My ped emphasized the importance of finding the most experienced person to pierce your baby’s ears. How do you find out how long they have <br />been piercing ears? You ask them! Asking the manager or asst manager at places like Claire's, Piercing Pagoda or Merle Norman will usually lead you immediately to the right person. How to judge once you've arrived with your baby to have her ears pierced? Three things on your list should be 1) sanitation, 2)experience, 3)and patience are the most important things to look for in the shop and ear-piercer themselves. <br /><br />She gave me some additional suggestions for moms having their dd's ears pierced. If you or any other moms would like them, write me an e-<br />mail. <br /><br />One last thing. If your're thinking about having her ears pierced now, then your mommy intuition is telling now is best. I'd go <br />ahead soon. <br /><br />Amyswor@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
