Baby ear piercing

Hi! My baby girl will be here in September. I have 3 boys so I’m super excited to be a girl mom! Just wondering when all you other girl moms decided to pierce baby’s ears? What age is a good age? Thanks in advance :smiling_face:

I personally would wait until she is old enough to ask.

I would personally wait until the child is older and asks for it to be done. Why would you put unnecessary wounds in your child’s body and risk infection especially when they can’t consent? Unless it is different where you live, most body piercing shops will not pierce anyone under 14 regardless if the parent consents. Places like Claire’s will probably do it but those workers are usually not properly trained; they get a quick course on how to use a piercing gun and that’s about it. I mean think about that… most body piercers needs 100s of hrs in apprenticeship before they can do it alone but at Claire’s they just hand you a gun and away you go. I personally wouldn’t let someone without training touch my ears.
