The screwbacks for babies bought at places like piercing pagoda suck, so don't buy those. We had a pair of 22k gold screwbacks that were gifts from my inlaws that were from a real jewelry shop and those stayed in, but they stayed in so well (for about a year), that when I finally wanted to remove them, I couldn't unscrew them and eventually, I had to take them to but cut off. Our daughter didn't mind--they just gave her a lollipop and she sat still while theysnipped the back off. But now we have a piece of solid 22k gold that we'd have to take a a jeweler to be remelted or something.</p> <p>So what we've done the past 6 months or so is go with super cheap, silver earrings that I randomly picked up from Old Navy. They have regular backs, and I just push the back back on every night when LO is in the bath, and now she's been wearing the same pair for a long time. I think as long as you make a habit of tightening the back once a day or every few days, the earrings will stay on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/earring-keeps-coming-loose#post-2591316 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 07:18:10 +0000 ShootingStar 2591316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about trying some hoops that don't have a post in the back?

Ever since we got them done we have had tons of issues with the back falling off/earring falling out. It always seems to be the same ear that is an issue. We were getting frusterated, we have already lost one earring and a couple of backs, so we bought screw backs instead. Well today during bath time I noticed that the screw back has fallen off! It's the same ear again!!</p> <p>Has anyone had this happen? Is there a reason it is only one ear and not the other.</p> <p>And I have literally NEVER seen her touch them except for the first day and occasionally when we clean them, other than that she seems unaware of them. </p>
