“This is how my Lau is looking after her ear piercing wearing her first earring,” the actor, who is expecting her second ba with husband Gurmeet Choudhary, captioned the post. Take a look.

Ear piercing, which is now also a fashion statement, has been a part of ritualic and cultural traditions, for centuries. But, piercing your ba’s ears may also expose them to a number of risks, Dr Bilal Khan, Consultant, Pediatrics, Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Gurugram said, sharing the right time to get your newborn’s ears pierced.
“There is a risk of infection whenever you puncture your ba’s ears because your ba’s immune system is still developing and, thus, it is best to wait a little longer,” he said, adding that it is a good idea for parents to wait until their ba has received their tetanus vaccine. “Wait at least six months before piercing your ba’s ears.”

Piercing your ba’s ears at a very young age – before he/she is three months old – may expose them to several risks. “If you pierced a ba too early (or a child under three months old) and they develop an infection with a fever, they would need to be admitted to the hospital. Thus, it is safe to wait a bit longer to avoid this.”
