For these reasons you should not pierce the ears of newborns.
Piercing the ears of newborns is a very common practice but it can be dangerous for the baby.
It is believed that it is better to pierce the ears of newborns shortly after life so that they do not remember the pain caused, others do it so that the sex of the baby is not confused, still others due to a simple cultural matter.
However, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend babies have their ears pierced since putting a piece of metal into their ears can cause them to tangle in clothing and cause bleeding wounds in the newborn.
Another risk is that some parents do it within a few hours after the child is born, before even giving them the tetanus vaccine, which should be applied two months after birth.
BETWEEN 6 AND 16 MONTHS OF AGE IS WHEN DOCTORS RECOMMEND PIERCING BABIES’ EARS.
A recommendation is also that the earrings or earrings must be made of gold and that the material to be used during the drilling must be completely sterilized since otherwise it could generate infections and increase the possibility of contracting hepatitis.
Remember that children are the most precious thing that one like mom or dad has.
That is why it is important to constantly inform and update ourselves to have the best information at hand.
In this way it will not be easier to make decisions regarding the health and well-being of our babies.
Otherwise, the lack of information and knowledge will generate a wave of ignorance that will only repel against our children.
Little or no information can be crucial and it is better to be well steeped in issues related to our children.
