6 months is when we got my daughters done. My 6 year old son asked if boys can get ears pierced so we’ll be getting his done for his birthday in may.

I’m getting my daughter’s done when she’s born after her first round of shots. Go to a piercer (not Claire’s or a piercing stand) or some pediatricians do it as well.

I caved when my daughter was 6. Signed her own consent and picked her own earrings. She had been asking a while. And I feel she’s old enough to understand the cleaning and looking after them. Took her to have them done with a needle though and did my research before I picked somewhere x

My mom had mine pierced when I was 6 months old and I still have those holes today at 35. I tried to have my daughter’s pierced at the same age and she kept pulling them out so we decided to not try again until she was old enough to ask for it and take care of it. With my youngest, it’ll be the same. When she can fully understand what it is and can help take care of them, we’ll get it done.
My girls weren’t ready until 5 and 6. I let them make the decision
When they’re old enough to understand that you’re permanently changing their body, she can suffer from infections & that there’s pain involved in this body mutilation. So prolly 18 years old.

Wait until they are old enough to ask. Let them make the decision when they can. If you do choose to do it as a infant go professional not the mall or small shop to get them done 9/10 they will have to be redone when they are older because the lobes are not big enough yet for a proper and even placement.

My oldest was 5, son was 4, youngest was 8. We waited so long for the youngest because my older 2 had a reaction to the metal.
My oldest 2 had theirs done at pediatrician office at 4 months old. My youngest was 2 months old and we took her to a piercing pagoda in our mall. I switched pediatricians and the new one doesn’t do it. Only issue I’ve had was my middle child constantly pulling the backs off for a while there but she stopped now. My mom had mine and my sisters down when we were babies too.

That’s not my decision to make that’s my child’s when they are ready and able to take care of said piercings because I am not going to be the parent that’s going to have to be responsible for taking care of theirs. Things like that that can cause infection or bodily harm is not something to take lightly. And it’s also a decision between me and my child and nobody else.

My girl is only 2. But my older boys were 8 when they got theirs done.
My girl isn’t getting hers done til she decides she wants it done. I won’t force my baby to pierce her ears even if people say it’s better to do it because they won’t remember, it still hurts them at the time.

They won’t do it at a piercing place until 3 months old. After that it’s at the discretion of the parent.

It’s not really a need so “should” isn’t relevant unless it’s part of a culture thing.
But I did my get my daughters ears done till she asked for them. And she doesn’t wear warnings unless she wants to now.

At 8 weeks, I had both my daughters ears pierced.
I got both of my girls at age 1. My oldest was glad and she loves her ears being pierced. She’s 22. My 17 year old stopped wearing earrings years ago because she isn’t much of a jewelry person. Her holes closed up. She wears clip-ons now for special events.
But, neither of them cried when getting it done. They both just sat there through it actually. No reaction whatsoever. We distracted them from what was happening and they didn’t even realize what happened. I did my job to turn them and clean them and never had issues.
When she is ready and asking Mom and Dad if she can my opinion
I pierced both my girls ears at a month old .

It’s honestly the parents choice on this subject.
My girls got their ears pierced at ages 2 months & 5 months. Neither had any issues or infections. Neither of them remember it either. They choose if they want to wear their earrings or not.

My daughter can get her ears done when she can verbally consent & understands the process/how to keep them clean herself. It’s her body so it’s her choice… same with my sons, I won’t get them circumcised as it’s their body their choice, I’ll gladly pay for it when my sons are old enough to decide though!

Unless it’s a cultural thing, infants getting their ears pierced is solely for the parents.
I’m waiting until my daughter’s ask for their ears pierced. We teach “My body, my choice”, so we leave it up to them.

My guy didn’t want to do it bc it would hurt her. So I went decided to respect that.
Now we are just waiting until whenever she wants them I guess.
She does pull on her ears and get sad she doesn’t have be earrings like me. But I have gauges.
I waited until she wanted it done which she asked right at the age of 3. I made a whole mommy and daughter day out of it.

My first daughter was 6 months old because her pediatrician offered it. My second daughter just got hers done at 6 years old. It was soooo much easier with my first daughter. I loved the experience with my second because she was so excited and so brave, but she kept getting worried they’d fall out and almost damaged her ear by over tightening them. Luckily everything was fine, but my older daughter didn’t even know they existed as a baby and it was super fast healing. And my oldest daughter likes that I did it as a baby because she likes that she can take them out and it looks like she never got them pierced. Ultimately its up to the parent. If I could have gotten all my piercings out of the way as a baby I sure would have 
You do you. If you think your kid will leave them alone as babies then go for it. If they dont like it later in life, no one will force earrings in their ears

I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was 19 XD I got a tat when I was 18. Both were birthday gifts XD
I’m going to wait til my daughters actually ask for it. But ironically, I don’t even used the ear ring holes anymore, but they are still there XD
Some as young as a month old…but please be mindful of the back piece…that it doesn’t become imbedded into the back of ear lobe…

10+ years old. Earrings are incredibly uncomfortable to sleep in. My daughters take them out at night and put new earrings in each day. A baby wouldn’t be able to verbalize that pain/discomfort.
