When Should Your Little Girl Ear's Be Pierced?

For me I think any age is okay. If you want it done early, the baby should have at least received her first anti-tetanus vaccine, which is usually part of DTap-IPV combination vaccine, and the size of her earlobe is big enough so that the earring will be positioned centrally.

Some parents choose to have their baby's ears pierced at birth or during the first year of life while others prefer to wait it out until the child is four or five years old.

If you want to have your kids ears pierced when they are bigger, it is recommended to best wait until the child is emotionally ready to go through the brief pain and understand the process. Parents must be aware that after ear piercing, a great amount of care is required to prevent infection. Alcohol must be dabbed on the earlobe three times a day for at least two weeks. Do not attempts to remove the earring until after two months or so. If there's irritation or some discharge, have you daughter's earlobes checked immediately by your pediatrician.

Measles Vaccine

My baby just finished her first dose of Pneumococcal Vaccine which cost so much 5,000 php(which is almost a $100, but if its for her protection its ok for me to spend that much. Next of is the Measles Vaccine. Its her protection against Measles.

A short info about measles is that, Measles is the most deadly of all childhood rash/fever illnesses. The disease spreads very easily, so it is important to protect against infection. To prevent measles, children (and some adults) should be vaccinated with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Two doses of this vaccine are needed for complete protection. Children should be given the first dose of MMR vaccine at 12 to 15 months of age. The second dose can be given 4 weeks later, but is usually given before the start of kindergarten at 4 to 6 years of age.
