Then I worked in the clinic and left the decree. and taller girls cannot express in words how they screamed. They themselves ask mothers that they want earrings.

I read that it is right to prick when the cherry blossoms and did so and healed very quickly

Whether to pierce ears and when is a personal matter for everyone. I am on the side of those who believe that the sooner the better.

Cosmetologist Irina Sysueva: when to pierce children's ears

Piercing options

There are two main ways to pierce the earlobes - a needle and a special gun.

The process of piercing the ears with a needle is quite lengthy and more painful (you must first make a puncture, and then thread an earring or thread) than in the case of a special gun. On the other hand, after piercing with a needle, permanent gold or silver earrings can be inserted immediately. For little girls, this option is still not recommended.

Ear piercing with a gun is now a virtually painless procedure. Therefore, now mothers can safely bring even the smallest children to the salon.

Ears are pierced with a special sterile gun. They are disposable and reusable. A puncture with a disposable gun costs a little more, but you will be sure that your baby will not get an infection. The gun is loaded with an earring made of medical hypoallergenic steel, which can later be worn as a piece of jewelry. The puncture procedure takes a fraction of seconds. The gun, like a stapler, fixes the carnation on the ear with one click.

Moms take note!

Hello girls) I didn’t think that the problem of stretch marks would affect me, but I’ll write about it))) But I have nowhere to go, so I’m writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method helps you too ...

Where to pierce

It is necessary to do this, of course, with specialists, since there are many points on the earlobe responsible for the activity of the internal organs of a person.

Now, in almost every beauty salon, you can quickly safely and almost painlessly pierce the earlobes of a child of any age. This procedure is quite affordable. The selected earrings are immediately put on - studs, or earrings with a bow (everything is sterile, stored in special containers).

You can also contact specialized piercing salons (since ear piercing and earlobe piercing are identical concepts), where qualified craftsmen will perform the procedure using disposable needles.

The choice should fall on a proven salon or medical center, where this procedure will be carried out by professionals - cosmetologists who know where to make the right and beautiful puncture, how to do it quickly and without pain.

Be sure to ask if the master has a medical education. Cosmetologists without an appropriate "crust" are not allowed to pierce their ears.

And in no case do not allow punctures to be made by those who do not do this professionally, but “experimented” only on themselves and their friends!

If you decide to pierce the ears of a child at the age of 8-9 months, then be sure to explain where and why you are going. Do not scare the baby, try to hold this event in a relaxed atmosphere of the game. Let me choose earrings, touch the gun, meet a beautician or a doctor who will pierce. If it was not possible to reach an understanding with the child and the situation is unnerving for the baby, then postpone the procedure for several days, months or even years.

The procedure for piercing the ears with a gun is very simple and the same for any age:

1. Disinfect equipment and earlobes.
2. Select and insert the earrings into the pistol.
3. Punctures are made in the center of the earlobe. It is very important to make a puncture in the center - any deviation threatens to hit the area of ​​​​important points associated with speech, hearing, vision, teeth.

However, the most important thing in ear piercing begins immediately after the piercing is done - this is care during healing.

Caring for pierced ears

Even though you get your little one's ears pierced at the best cosmetic clinic, wound healing may not be as fast as you might think. It depends on many factors - on the child's immunity, on some inflammatory processes in the body, and also on the care of pierced ears. The healing process usually takes 1 to 3 months.

1. Explain to the child that it is undesirable to touch the earrings during this period. Especially with dirty hands.
2. During the entire healing time, it is undesirable to change stud earrings for other earrings.
3. During the entire period of healing of punctures, the child's hair should be removed in a ponytail or braided. Otherwise, they can cling to the earrings, which will cause discomfort.
4. At least 2 times a day, it is necessary to wipe the puncture sites with antiseptics: hydrogen peroxide, alcohol solution or other antiseptic agent on the advice of a doctor. 4-5 days after piercing, during the treatment procedure, scroll the earrings so that the product gets inside the puncture.
5. After the procedure, it is not recommended to wet the lobes for 3-5 days.

If you notice yellow discharge from the puncture site (pus), then you need to additionally treat with a solution of manganese. If the pus does not go away in 2-3 days or the suppuration is quite serious, then you need to see a doctor. Ears are a very important organ, so pus in the earlobe after piercing should not be taken lightly!

In the first 5 days after piercing, do not wash your child's hair and avoid the pool or natural water. Contact with water and detergents must be seriously limited, so it is advisable to wash your baby's hair before the procedure.

The duration of the healing process depends on many factors - ranging from the immunity of the child to the level of his activity.

The main thing is to follow the rules of personal hygiene, be careful and treat the earlobes every day until they are completely healed.

A few tips on how to choose the right earrings for your child:

• When choosing earrings, preference should be given to gold or silver models. Products made from these materials practically do not cause allergic reactions;
• Earrings should not be heavy, have sharp corners, large stones;
• Models with an English lock are preferable, which is quite reliable - the child will not lose the decoration and will not be able to unfasten it on his own.

Our article can influence the decision to get a piercing too early, tell you about the ways to carry out an unpleasant procedure, and give recommendations on how to care for the wound.

Pros and cons

Public opinion about early piercing is divided. Proponents of piercing a child under the age of 3 put forward their arguments:

• Lack of fear and bad memories in the future. According to psychologists, the painful process will not upset the baby so much at the age of 7-10 months or even a year old. The baby is quickly distracted and forgets about the offense. And three-year-old girls can get psychological trauma, stress, phobias.

• The originality of the appearance of a tiny princess. The earlobe, decorated with gold and silver earrings, almost from birth, causes great delight among parents and strangers on the street.

• At an early age, the wound will heal faster.

Pediatricians and more cautious parents have their own reasons for postponing baby's ear piercing until the age of 3 or later:

• A traumatic procedure will cause pain to the baby.
• The cartilage in the ear is still developing, and you can accidentally damage it at the time of the procedure.
• Low immunity of the baby.
• Restlessness, inexperience of the child. The baby may twitch its ears, becoming interested in an unusual object. If you manage to break or unfasten the earring, then it will definitely taste.
• Danger to the life and health of the crumbs. There are important nerve endings in the earlobe. Their accidental damage can harm the development of the child, provoke pathologies of the central nervous system.
• Allergenicity of the material for jewelry. Earrings may contain nickel, which causes allergies. The ear may turn red immediately after putting it on in the cabin, it will hurt.

When is the best time

The choice of the optimal age for piercing depends on the state of health, the nature of the girl and the opinion of the parents on this matter. The best period of life, from the point of view of doctors, is considered age 5 - 8 years.

Dr. Komarovsky, a popular pediatrician and author of well-known TV programs about raising children, believes that piercing the ears of children under one year of age is an act of terrorism and extremism. In his opinion, it is better to wait until the baby grows up, the girl is 5-10 years old, and maybe more.

However, puberty (11-14 years) is also not the best period for piercing. Wounds heal longer, the body needs strength for hormonal changes. It is advisable to have time to complete the plan before this time. But the final decision, of course, is made by the parents.

It is important to consider the time of year. Winter is the period of hats, scarves, collars. Pierced ears can be injured when dressing, catch a cold. In summer, the risk of mechanical damage to the ureters is minimal, but it is dusty and windy outside, and there is a possibility of infection of the wound.

For these reasons, spring and autumn are the optimal period for piercing. In May, September, you don’t need to wear hats, there is no heat, no dust.

Some parents choose the time for piercing according to signs and the lunar calendar. Suitable for earlobe 1 - 5th day of the new lunar month.

Contraindications

• allergies, especially of unknown etiology, to metals;
• blood pathologies (special attention should be paid to blood clotting, if it is bad, refuse the procedure);

• HIV infection;
• heart defects;
• mental illness, epilepsy;
• keloid scars;
• teething period;
• low immunity;

In some conditions, parents need to choose a different time for piercing, for example, to cure SARS, wait until the tooth erupts.

But other pathologies are a lifelong contraindication - these are blood diseases, diabetes, nervous excitability, immunodeficiencies and nickel allergy.

Where to do the procedure

There are several options: a beauty salon, a medical center, on your own at home. Consider the positive and negative sides of each of them in comparison.

• Piercing at home. bad option for piercing the ears of newborns and babies up to 3 years. The probability of infection, errors in choosing a place for the hole is very high. In addition, making a hole with a needle is quite painful. You will be responsible for the quality, take care of the wound yourself.

• Beauty salon, barbershop. Trust only verified centers industry. Often this service is offered as an additional one, without having work experience. This option is more suitable for adults, rather than infants or preschool crumbs.

When choosing the first jewelry for a baby, you need to pay attention to the following parameters of earrings:

• Type of metal. During piercing, girls wear special temporary earrings made of titanium, medical steel or modern bioflex. They do not cause allergies, contribute to the rapid healing of the wound. Buy gold and silver earrings later, 1-2 months after the piercing. Precious metals oxidize, may contain nickel, which is unsafe for an open wound in the ear and the health of the child as a whole.
• Product weight. It is important for a baby, a one-year-old baby, not to feel the heaviness of the jewelry. Almost weightless models are the best.
• The form. A triangle, a circle, a heart - any option will be optimal if the child's earring does not interfere, it fits neatly on the lobe. The main thing is that they are not huge, do not interfere with dressing.
• Sharp edges. Traumatic, protruding edges are strictly prohibited.
• Pebbles. Small gems, crystals, diamonds are welcome. What is important is the strength, reliability of their fixation, and not the high cost.
• Lock. For kids, carnations with a reliable closing mechanism, an English lock are suitable. They are difficult to unfasten on their own, lose.
