these are the risks of piercing the ears of a newborn

The Academy of Pediatrics warned of the risks of this practice so common among girls to put hoops

One of the most common customs in a newborn girl is the establishment of hoops that pierce her ears. However, the Academy of Pediatrics warned of the dangers of this practice, which has been accepted by some, and others not.

Some badume that when they grow up, they will want to pierce them, but when they are babies, they do not remember the pain that it generates. Other parents decide to do it from an early age, so there is no doubt about the bad of the baby. As for the others, they simply do it for something cultural.

However, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting to pierce the girl's ears to avoid the risks badociated with the metal piece in a newborn. They can get caught in clothes and put in the mouth can cause health problems.

Some parents do not even wait a few days to put the ear curls on, but they do it only a few hours before the baby is vaccinated against tetanus, which usually takes two months to live. This vaccine is also given at 6 years and 15 years, and doctors recommend that perforations be performed after 3 turns.

Another caution is that the rings are gold and the material needed for perforation is not only correct, but also sterilized. In the worst case, this could lead to an infection of your daughter and increase the risk of contracting hepatitis.

Another complication is an allergic reaction, which can cause an infection of the earlobe by the metal used for perforation.

Is the controversy around the decision to put baby rings invasive for them?
