When is it best to pierce a child's ears: optimal conditions - what are they

02.05.2024 20:42

There is a widespread belief among parents that the optimal age to pierce a child's ears is from 3 months to 1.5 years.

As an argument, moms and dads cite the fact that the child is still small and will not be scared, and if he is scared, it will quickly be forgotten.

In addition, adults believe that since tissues are actively forming at this age, the risk of scar formation is minimal.

But in fact, you should focus not on the child’s age, but on a number of factors that we have listed in this article.

Firstly, a child’s ears can be pierced only after his immunity (at least against tetanus) has been formed thanks to vaccinations.

Secondly, you should think about getting a piercing after the child agrees to it, and ideally, asks for it himself.

Thirdly, when you are going to go to the clinic, make sure that your child is healthy and that there are no inflammatory processes in his body at the moment. A blood test will not hurt for this.

And fourthly, not only the child, but also his parents must be morally and physically prepared.

Earlier we talked about what you need to explain to a child before he or she is 10 years old.
