On Saturday I took the girls to get their ears pierced. We had it done at Claire´s. I just walked past Claire´s and decided to get their ears pierced. I was nervous as hell but my girls took it quite well. Surprisingly they only cried for 5 seconds. I was pretty amazed that they only cried for a few seconds. Well done twinsies ;) For £ 22, Claire’s provided the piercings, the pair of 3mm, 9 ct gold studs and a cleaning set. You can choose between gold or silver studs. The twinies look soo different now, so grown up ;)
Ps: Thanks for the lovely comments, they made my day :) :)

ReplyDeleteNicky,
ReplyDeleteI was searching for my GF's blog and came across your interesting post about having the twins ears pierced.
When I had the girls, people thought they were boys and no one could tell them apart. After one of the girls being called a boy three times in one day with pink and purple headband, I decided it was time to announce they were girls! Dh was unsure and undecided.
I asked our ped again about having our YDD's ears pierced. She encouraged me to pierce the twins as infants. She said, it have become more popular to pierce newborns, infants and little girls ears because is safer with the newer ear piercing instruments than the traditional methods of using a needle, thread by the mother or grandmother. I was surprised at her response and told her I would think about it. Her reasoning was when mommy cares for them, there was never any problems during the healing time, but when little girls wanted them, they often failed to care for them properly.
I was still uncertain until she gave me some suggestions for moms having their dd's ears pierced. I put them away and thought it would be years before I needed to read them. Dh was quiet on the subject. I thought I had made my mind up to wait till they were older and endure their mistaken gender.
Wrong. I started seeing other little babies including two in my playgroup and realized how cute babies and little girls with earrings! I yielded to pressure from my mommy intuition telling me earlier was better.
I think you're a smart mommy for having the girls ears pierced now. I'd say if any moms reading this are unsure, go ahead, you won't regret it and your girls will look girlie girl and be adorable. you've remotely thought about it, then your mommy intuition is telling now is better.
If any mums would like our ped's tips for moms having their infant ears pierced, then write me an e-mail.
