Ear Piercing for Kids: A YES or a NO?

The question of whether to pierce a baby’s ear or not at such an early age is a big, big concern until now. Parents, especially mothers, have different views and opinions regarding this matter. For some mothers, piercing a baby’s ear at such a very early age is better than piercing the ear when the kid is already big. While for some mothers, piercing the ear should only be done when the child is already mature enough to handle the pain and when the kid is already very much willing to have her ear pierced. No matter what the belief of every mother is, what is more important is, the piercing should be done carefully and neatly by a professional doctor or by a professional ear piercer.

For parents who believe that ear piercing should be done at an early age or when the child is still a baby conforms that ear piercing is less painful at a tender age in comparison to have the ear pierced in the child’s later years. They believe that as the child grows up, she can feel pain more and more, and there is a big tendency that the child will no longer have her ear pierced due to fear of the pain. Another reason why parents want their kid’s ear pierced early is that it solves the gender identification problem in kids. People would easily identify your kid as a girl when she is wearing a pair of earrings. No more further questions asked. Above all, babies or small kids will look very sweet, cute, fashionable and attractive when they are wearing a pair of earrings. It makes the babies look more beautiful to the eyes of the people.

While for parents who are against an ear piercing at an early age feels that it is barbaric to have a baby’s ear pierced. They believe that kids or babies should not be pierced in their ear at such age because they cannot tell what they really wanted whether to approve or to object to the piercing. They believe that the child is the only one to decide as to when she likes to have her ear pierced. They do not want also that their child will feel the pain at a very early age due to ear piercing. That is why; they wanted to wait for the time that the kid is already big enough to decide whether to have her ear pierced or not and be ready to feel the pain as a result of ear piercing.

Whatever the parents stand for this is, what matters is the decision is right and is advantageous for both the parents and the kids. Parents just have to make sure that they go to a professional person to handle the ear piercing. They have to see to it that the area for ear piercing is clean and the materials used are properly sterilized to avoid ear infection. Parents should make sure that the earring to be worn by the kid is hypoallergenic. Once pierced, an earring should be worn at all times so that the hole will not be closed again. The ear should be cleaned everyday to take away dirt that might also cause ear infection, especially if the ear is newly-pierced.
