Celebrities Who Pierced Their Baby’s Ears and What’s the Right Age to Do So
Piercing your child’s ears has remained a topic that often divides people’s opinions into two: those who favor it and those who don’t. Among the first group are some celebrity mamas who chose to add bling to their baby’s ears.
Hilary Duff
The Lizzie McGuire star pierced her baby Mae’s ears when she was seven months old. She pierced her elder daughter Banks Violet’s ears when she was also seven months old in 2019.
Kylie Jenner
The young mama shared photos of her daughter Stormi wearing diamond studs when she was six months old.
Gisele Bündchen
When supermodel Gisele shared a photo of her holding her baby daughter in her arms, the internet spotted her earrings quickly. The baby was nearly eight months old.
Khloé Kardashian
Like her sister Kylie, Khloé decided to get her daughter’s ears pierced. When True was two months old, the reality star shared a video of her rocking diamond studs.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
When her dad and uncles received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, Malti Marie Jonas finally made her public debut. She was spotted sitting in her mother Priyanka’s lap, wearing off-white clothes and matching earrings. She’s about a year old.
What doctors say about baby piercings
There is no fixed guideline for ear-piercing for infants. The choice ultimately lies with the parents. It is advised to consult with a pediatrician. However, many suggest waiting until the baby is about three months old.
Some parents opt to get it done during infancy, while others prefer to wait until the child is old enough to maintain the piercing. Ear-piercing is not inherently more harmful to babies than adults, as complications can occur regardless of age.
