Did my daughters 6 weeks before her 1st Birthday. Her Aunt bought her tiny diamond studs for her birthday. Keep them clean and no problems. She never even tried to mess with them. She is 21 now.

I believe it should be their choice. It’s her body let her make that decision when she’s older. Why cause her that pain now if she won’t want them later?

Never understood it. Just wait until the child is old enough to ask for their ears to be peirced.

We are waiting until she can decide herself if she wants them or not. I don’t want her stuck with them if she doesn’t want them. Also, think about how much body parts change as people grow. They might look like they’re pierced in the right place now but that might change as she grows and her ears get bigger. And if you don’t want her going through the pain of piercing, don’t do it.

Mine were done to me when I was little. They won’t close and I developed an allergy to certain metals, according to my doctor, because of them. They’re crooked and I hate them. I wont ever do that to my kids and always recommend they not be done until the child can consent.

Wait at least two more years please
Wait children’s ears grow so their holes will be up high and end up uneven. I waited till my kids both turned 10 and they asked. Just my beliefs. I’m against a child not being old enough to ask. But to each their own and I don’t feel I’m right or wrong.

Honestly I’m glad my mom did it to me when I was 6 months old. Cuz as an adult I’d be too scared to get it done. So I’m glad their pierced and I dont remember the pain.

My oldest was 8 when he asked for his piercing. My now 7 year old daughter hasn’t asked yet.
That’s her choice. Not yours. So you wait until she is old enough to ask herself.
It’s her body. And you don’t know how her body will react. It could get infected or worse. My mom let me get them done when I wanted them done-10yrs old. And as it turns out, they got severely infected and soooo painful and I had to let them close up. Just don’t do it. Why do people think it’s so important to put your child through that? So they can “look cute”?..c’mon.

Do not. Guns are horrible and cause so much more pain and unnecessary damage. It’s a lot better for it to be done at a piercing shop, where they use needles. Not only that but their ears aren’t growing, and when they get older the piercing will move. Causing it not to be in the correct spot.
I want my daughter to get hers done by a certified piercer. With sterile, safe, piercing needles. Not with a filthy gun that damages your ears. She’ll be around 10-12 years old when she can properly care for them as well.

I waited until my daughter was old enough to ask for them to be done and we did it as a mommy/daughter day so it was kinda special. When they are little they can pull on them more and you may have trouble caring for them, it’s much easier to wait till they are older and can understand more about what’s going on. Many do it to show that baby is a girl but my daughter n law opted for a cute bracelet that she wore for several years.
I did both of my girls around 3 months.

This is a personal decision. You can either get them done and duh, of course it’s going to hurt. But it’ll only last for a second. Or you can wait until she’s old enough to decide herself. You’re not going to find your answer here.

You answered your own question. You don’t want to cause your baby pain. It will hurt.
It’s not your body, so why alter your baby for your own personal preference? Wait until she’s old enough to decide she wants them done.
I have a 2 year old son. I discussed it with he’s Dad that getting he’s ears pierced is something our son can decide for he’s self when he is 12 years old. It’s my sons body and it’s something that my son has to come to a decision about when he is old enough.
From experience its better to do when they are infants vs when they are older. Whatever you do get it done at pediatrician office rather than the mall

I was 4 months when my mom did mine. They are the only holes out of 4 on 1 ear 5 on the other that I can wear earrings in that won’t get infected, irritated or close.

I think it’s weird, I believe in your body your choice and its something you do based on gender which I dont agree with forcing gender roles onto my daughter. If she wants them pierced when shes older that’s fine but I won’t choose for her.

I feel like babies are perfect as they are, and the primary focus should be on keeping the baby healthy… Also, it’s her body. She should be old enough to make that decision herself. That’s just my opinion though.

Yes and if she decides she don’t want them they grow in.
My mother got them done when I was 2. She put a cold coke can on them to numb them and then 2 professionals went on each side, that were marked where, and pierced them at the same time. Quick and painless! Not even a cry. Use real metal for no allergies, twist and clean them. Best thing she did!

My daughter is 2.5 were waiting until she is old enough to want them done herself.
Both my kids had their ears pierced when they were babies. My oldest was 8 weeks old my youngest was 5 mths old. Cried for maybe a few seconds. No inefections ever. To this day their ears are still pierced one wears earrings & one doesn’t its their choice. Never had an issues with uneveness or piercing guns either.
Your kid, your choice period.

Got our girls each done at 3 months. We went to clair’s they were amazing and did both ears at one time. My girls didn’t even cry. My parents made me wait until i was 12. I hated them for it. I wanted it done as early as 3 years old and my parents would always say NO. It is less painful than the shots they get. My girls had a sucker in their mouth and the only response we got from them was a look up. They didn’t pull on or tug on them after they were done. I am glad we got them done so early, watching them mess with their earrings now that they are older, they never would have healed

I’m waiting until my daughter ask me before getting her ears pierced. I don’t want to make that decision for her. At the end of the day it’s your decision what you want to do. Get them done or to wait till she’s older and ask for them. You shouldn’t have to ask total strangers to decide for you when the perfect time will be. Your the mama. Mama’s know best when it comes to their baby’s.
I’d wait to ask. I do not like I didn’t have that chance. Hate my holes
I got my daughter’s done at 6 months old. Yes she let out a small scream but I believe the sound of the ear piercing gun hurt . She was fine less than 3 minutes later and hasn’t had any problems.

I’m gonna wait until she says she wants them pierced. Besides my baby isnt a cute accessory.
If you don’t want her in pain then I’d say no? Lol. I say no because a lot including myself have piercings lop sided. I’m waiting till mike come to me and ask. Their responsibility to keep them clean etc. And definitely using a tattoo place. Not some rinky dink Claire’s employee. A friend worked there and the stories I’ve heard…
I did my girls ears as soon as I could. I didn’t want her to complain when she got older.

If you don’t want to hurt her I’d say Just wait til she’s old enough to decide herself, shell most likely want them on her own. My son wanted his ears pierced at age 5. We went to a professional at a tattoo shop. He did great…no crying or anything!
8 months both girls. Guess what i was able to fully take care of them so no infections.
It’s cosmetic for parent satisfaction and I personally view it as child abuse.

I got my first daughters ears pierced at 3 months old, they need to be 3 months or provide shot records if younger. Yes she cried because yes, it hurt for a few minutes, and they were tender for days after that. She didnt understand why it hurt, and I know that I caused her unnecessary pain. She doesnt even wear earrings now and shes 13.
However, my mind has changed since my first born, and my second daughter I am not piercing until she asks for it. I see it as a body modification, even if you take those earrings out and they heal up, there will be scars, her body will forever be changed because of something I chose to do to her without knowing if she would even want it. My second is 9 months tomorrow and unpierced.
I think any sort of body modification is a personal choice that the individual getting it should make. What if she doesn’t want pierced ears? Even if you take them out it can leave scars and scar tissue, especially if done with a piercing gun.
I got my LOs ears done at 7 months. It wasn’t anymore pain than getting her shots and from my experience she didn’t and still doesn’t pull on them at all or play with them. Everyone’s got a different out look on this subject. I say do what you want. But like other have said make sure you go to a good place to get them done and not some random shop at your local mall.

I was a mom of 2 boys before becoming pregnant for a girl. I was so excited to have my girl finally and I definitely wanted to get her ears pierced. After a good discussion about it with my husband, we decided not to do it.l (she was about 6 months old). Who’s to say she wants her ears pierced as an older girl let alone as a baby? We will wait until she asks for them…
Personally I think it’s cruel she’s a baby that’s gonna cry through the pain you put her through
Just because people think it’s cute
It’s a shame
I think wait until she actually asks for it.

I waited until my first born was a year old , piercing too soon is actually not recommended because their ears are so small . Looking back though , I would’ve just waited until she wanted them and not made such a big deal at her having them at 1 .
i wouldn’t. my mom had mine done as a kid and I hate it now. The holes are uneven and anything i put in them made them swell and itch.
My ears were done as a baby and they are so uneven I wish my mom had waited.
Do it as young as you can. They only remember for the moment. As she gets older it hurts way more

YOUR child, YOUR decision. If you want her to get them done when she’s 3 months, then do it! I did with my first and she’s 4 now loving them. My second is 1 and we haven’t gotten around to it but I’m going to soon before she’s too old and will freak out. It’s NOT abuse or cruel. If they don’t want earrings then you can take them out. I’m 20 and about to get mine done and I’m nervous. My mom had mine done as a baby & i wish i kept them in.

I don’t think it’s right to do. I think they should be able to make the choice but that’s just my opinion.
Wait until she’s older & let her make that desision. That’s what my mom did & I’m glad she did. Some don’t want it & regret having it when they’re older. I decided to get mine done I think I was about 12

We waited until our daughter asked to get her ears done.
I say no on this. I waited til my daughter wanted to do it. She was 11 and took it like a champ and we both felt good about it. no use in submitting your kid into the " Pain is beauty" shit until she has time to decide on her own .
Stupid thats her body her decision not yours. Piercing ears that young should be considered mutilation. Why stop at piercing her ears fuck it give her a tat too. She might wamt her belly amd nose done too get those done at the same time.
If you do go for it, make sure it isn’t Claire’s or anywhere that uses a piercing gun.
However, it’ll hurt her either way for a short amount of time
I always thought I’d get my daughters pierced around 3/4 months but now that I actually have my daughter- I think I’d rather wait until she can ask for them. Which might be like 3/4 or even older🤷🏻♀️ I just don’t see the need to give her piercings just to accessorize a perfect baby. That’s just my personal opinion though for my baby.

From my own personal experience, I’d wait til she’s like 5-10, somewhere in there. My daughter was 3 when she asked to have them done but she was too scared to let anyone else do it. I was a rebellious teenager and did a ton of my own piercings so I knew a little about it. I got a kid and studs to do it myself. We did it and she did great, they looked great, healed perfect. One night one of her earrings came out and she refused to let me put it back in. She thought she could just take them out and have them back in whenever. It closed. She’s 5 now and wants them done again but I’m making her wait til she can understand the care of them better.
