Hi all,

I got Anushka's ear pierced when she was 7 months old. I took her to the pediatrician. The difficult thing is to mark the holes in the ears. These babies don't stay still. Thats why they say the sooner the better.

Once the holes were marked, with a sketch pen, the doc and the nurse came together. I held her head, my husband held her legs and hands, and the doc and the nurse took positions on both sieds of the ears, and one, two and three, and together they made the gunshot. She cried for a minute, and she was fine after i took her in the hand.

I have not used any antiseptic cream, just tried to keep it clean. Just don't touch it. Anushka also didn't touch it anytime, so i was fine. They gave her tylenol at the clinic but thats about it. Nothing else was required.

By the way, the earrings are quite nice. I got two options, one with diamond, another just plain gold. I took the diamond ones which were for like $34. Obv, they are american diamonds, not our real ones, but they look nice.

Regards,
