Getting your baby’s ears pierced is an exciting moment, but it’s important to take precautions before you do so. While it’s generally safe, you’ll want to wait until they’re at least three months old when they’ve built up a stronger immune system and fevers are less concerning. Our Dr. Jenelle Ferry, board-certified neonatologist at Pediatrix® Neonatology of Florida, spoke with @thebump about what questions to ask when choosing where to have your infant’s ears pierced, piercing techniques and risks to be aware of. https://brnw.ch/21wNk9d

If you feel less than attractive around the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle, you’re not alone.

If your identical twins share opposite features, they might be considered mirror twins – an unofficial term for twins that have opposing characteristics. Reflectional differences are discovered once twins are born, but it can sometimes take years to notice them.
