Yesterday we took Quinn to get her ears pierced at Claire's. She was so good! I think that Steve was more traumatized by the experience than Quinn was. In December, Linds and I tried to get Quinn's ears pierced, but we were told that we had to have her immunization record in order to have it done - quite glad that the Claire's store at least has some standards! I then realized that my doctor hadn't given me her record after her first shots, so I waited until she had her second round and got the record then.
I was quite impressed with the girl who pierced Quinn's ears. She was definitely very professional! We decided on getting her birthstone (peridot) for her earrings and she looks so sweet! She hardly flinched for the first ear, but then didn't like being held still for the second ear, so that one didn't go as smoothly. She only cried for about 30 seconds before she forgot all about it!

I think you're a smart and thoughtful mommy for having your dd's ears pierced now. She'll thank you later for the "gift of pierced ears." I was
ReplyDeleteuncertain at first, but kept seeing more babies and little girls with cute little pierced earrings!
You made the right choice having your dd's ears pierced when they won't remember. I asked our ped and she encouraged me to go ahead when mommy could care for them and as you said, the earlier the better. Our Ped gave me some " Tips for moms having their dd's ears pierced and " Care for Newly Pierced Ears" since she had so many moms ask about having their infants and little girls ears pierced.
I know cerebrally, as mothers of girls of all ages, we know it celebrates their femaleness and femininity. After all, they are little girls, right?
If any other moms would like any of our ped’s tips for piercing, then don’t hesitate to write me an e-mail. They include OTC meds to
minimize any discomfort as well as how to find the most experienced person to pierce her ears.
