For some beauty conscious mothers, they particularly like various earrings, not only hoping that they can wear them themselves, but also hoping that their babies can wear them. Both mother and daughter dress up beautifully, so some young mothers will give their babies ear piercings when they are very young, so that their babies can also wear earrings together. Some mothers have doubts about this and ask, can two-year-old babies have ear piercings?
Most doctors would recommend not getting ear piercings in a two-year-old baby. Earpiercings can cause wounds to appear. If the mother does not provide proper care, such as letting the baby grab around the ear with their hands, pulling the wound while wearing or taking off clothes, or letting dirty water flow into the wound during bathing without cleaning the infection in time, these can increase the possibility of bacterial infection in the wound, causing redness, swelling, inflammation, pus discharge, etc. In severe cases, it may affect the baby's hearing.
A two-year-old baby is in a lively and active period. If the mother pierces the baby's ear, the baby will feel uncomfortable in the ear area and will use their hands to grab it randomly. If the earring is accidentally removed and swallowed out of curiosity, it can cause unimaginable serious consequences. Therefore, it is best for the mother not to pierce the baby's ear.
Generally speaking, earrings made of regular gold, silver, or platinum are not easy to cause ear hole inflammation or allergies. However, for some babies with allergies, it cannot be ruled out that they may have allergic symptoms to a certain metal. If the mother does not detect the baby's allergy in a timely manner, it will be detrimental to the baby's health. Moreover, if the baby does not like to wear earrings, forcing the baby to wear them may affect the baby's mental health.
