Can I pierce my baby's ears again in the same spot?

Question

I got her ears pierced when she was 7 months, took them out a couple months later. (she will be 2 in about 2 months) When I tried to put them back in a week later, could not get them in, so i wanted to know if i could get them re-pierced...

Answer 1

Let the child alone. You're risking the chance of excessive scar tissue forming. Let her make the decision to have her ears pierced or not when she gets older.

Answer 2

Yes, but why? My current concern is MRSA, a serious infection no longer confined to hospitalized patients. And ear piercers and their environs are not the acme of sterility.
