Parents these days often have their baby’s earlobes pierced between the fifth and seventh month; prior to baby’s Paasni.
Traditionally, earlobe piercing in babies was done much earlier but waiting till at least the fifth month gives the baby time to develop immunity to reduce chances of infection.
Piercing is a safe procedure when done with sterile techniques and equipment, and ample aftercare by parents or caregivers, until it is healed. It is recommended to check the following:
- The technician is following basic safety protocols like whether they have properly sanitised their hands and have a new set of gloves.
- The baby’s earlobes are sanitized using alcohol pads.
- The piercing instrument is sterile and hygienic.
