We went to a piercing/tattoo place and they wanted the baby to have minimum 4 month shots. you have to bring in their immunization records with you.
Can I ask you WHY you want to do it?
I mean…it is HER body, maybe it should be HER choice?🤷🏻♀

We got my daughters done at 2 months. My dr said wait until after the first set of shots.
I think after her first shots that’s what I was told, but I haven’t got my daughter’s done so I’m not sure. Don’t listen to anyone negative that’s your baby you can do whatever you want.

I honestly cannot believe in 2019 how many of you are supporting this. It’s so bizarre. Meanwhile people won’t vaccinate their kids against nearly eradicated viruses. What the hell.

I did my daughter’s at four months, my parents had mine done at three months.
Why do you pierce a baby’s ears anyway? That’s not for the child that’s for you.

I did our little girl at 6 months. By law where I live they won’t do it until then. Plus, it’s quick, no big deal and they won’t play with them, easy to keep clean etc.

I got mine done at 11. I feel like it’s a rite of passage. I think between 11 and 14 or when they start their period is perfect. But I get that my opinion is probably unpopular. No judgment for those who do it differently.

How would you like someone to hold you down, with no anesthesia whatever, including Epidural, while you give birth to the child you are already planning to abuse???

I was thinking on doing my daughters but never did. I was told tho some drs offices will do them or give you a certificate to have them done at a place they deem as fit and clean. Not sure how true. But I never done my daughters I decided against it because I had mine done little and I don’t wear anything now and it honestly hurts my ears if I wear them. I figured I’d let her decide if she wants them done Incase she’s like me and doesn’t like them. I made the choice to have mine done and my mom took me.

Always before they start teething so usually before 5 months
Would you pierce your baby boy’s ears without his permission? If not, don’t pierce a baby girl’s ears either until SHE wants them.

Dang… These comments… I think 6 months is recommended.
If you’re going to vaccinate her after her 1st set of shots, I waited a little longer and got my daughters at 4 months and she did great 
and they healed very quickly too… I always hear the earlier the better, I guess it’s true the less pain they go through
6 months old. Got my daughters done at a chemist.
Some of you women need to take a chill pill! Didnt your mother teach you “if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all”?? Grow up ladies. She is asking mothers who Did get their childs ears pierced

My daughter had my grand daughter’s ears done at 1 month old
It’s 6 weeks old, don’t listen to all these people with their snobby comments! It’s better to have them done while they are little because it’s easier to care for typically girls want their ears done and they don’t remember the pain nor do they touch them to get them infected. Oh and by y’all haters I got a 5 year old son and a 10 year old who also wanted their ears pierced so guess who has them!
Don’t listen to the negative comments! My oldest is 11 and has told me she’s glad she can’t remember bc she would have been scared but she loves that she has them done. She was 3 months. Just like I told my sister if they didn’t want them pierced it’s you they’ll have the grudge against not ANYONE else. It’s your baby! We did have to want until her 3 months shots though. My biggest concern was who not when.

6 months in my opinion if you really want it done. No matter what age you pick please go to a professional. Not Claire’s. Tattoo and piercing studios are cleaner and safer. They know what they’re doing.

If you’re going to pierce your daughter’s ears, at least due the right thing & take her to a tattoo shop & not Pagoda or Claire’s where they don’t clean their guns. Tattoo shops are definitely the way to go.

I think you should wait until after her first set of shots.
Also please go to a proper piercing shop and not somewhere that uses a gun like Claire’s
Baby girls with little earrings are So cute, we decided to wait for our daughter to decide just because I remember going with my mom and how so excited I was and I wanted her to experience that too (if she chooses anyhow)
But each to their own just please use a trained piercer
Some of y’all are being beyond ridiculous!! You’re acting like she’s making her baby get a body altering surgery that’s there forever. It’s a piercing for heavens sake! It can be closed up. My mom did mine at 6 weeks and it was perfectly fine. Just go to a tattoo place or her pediatricians office.

We got my nieces done at 2 year old 
she loves them and loves when we go to Claries so she can pick hers out
I think I pierced both my girls at 8 weeks. And all went well, just gotta clean the piercing twice a day and spin those earrings a little each time you feed them, that was my routine.
Also, we went to Claire’s and it was fine, they did a great job. But I know a lot of people say don’t go there.

People usually do it at 1 years old or 2 years old . I know it’s cute but piercing your babies ears can cause infections and also the baby can rip it out and hurt themselves! You really shouldn’t pierce a child or babies ear without them consenting what if your baby gets older and it turns out she never wanted her ears pierced to begin with . My opinion it’s child abuse piercing a child’s ear does hurt it makes them cry … just so they can look cute … I’m not for it

This mama asked for a time frame from mama’s with experience with the procedure. She didn’t ask for permission from any of you “ladies”. I swear I never see as many negative responses to a simple question as I do on this page. The same criticizing are probably the same who preach supporting other women. Lol yall are a bunch of haters😅 anyhoooo well Krista I have two daughters one pierced at one month the other around two to three months. Dad and I went to a tattoo/ piercing shop where we were able to check out licenses sanitary practices and so on before we decided on which one to go to. They are great at referring appropriate practitioners also. Both were done by men as gentle as can be. My second daughter didn’t even wake up from her nap. They both love their pierced ears. Just keep it clean and always follow healing instructions afterward and they should be fine.

“Its child abuse”. No tf it is not. Ya’ll need to chill. My mom had mine done at 2 months and I’m FINE. I got my second holes done at 12 and I’m GLAD she got my first done so young so that I don’t remember it! Ya’ll are absolutely ridiculous. Not your child, not your damn business. She didn’t ask for ya’ll’s opinion on whether or not she should.
Believe it or not between my daughter and I we have tried all sorts of piercing places always to end up with something wrong (bad placement, infected, bothersome earrings, ect) the one and only place that we have found to not have any issues what so freaking ever is Walmart! I have 7 ear piercings daughter has 4 and we haven’t had any issues since we gave up on everyone else! With that said to answer your actual question I decided to wait till atleast her first set of shots before we got them done which was 3 months… also Walmart would not do it prior to that

She has to have her shots first and very at least 2M (depending where you live I think) but some doctors offices do them! I wish I would have known before I took my little because I would have asked them to do it.

My parents never did mine. I’m getting close to 23 and I still have never wanted them done. My neice has had them done and shes 10. Honestly, I don’t think I’d like them. I dont like jewelry much at all and the only thing I wear is a necklace from my boyfriend that was a birthday gift. I personally dont like the way id look with any earrings. I’d wait till shes a little older and can potentially take care of them, if she wants. 
I’m still happy that my parents didn’t to it to me as a child. It’s become my choice and my responsibility if I eventually want to.

My oldest is 6 and begged us to let her for her bday we were gonna wait till she was party 10 to let her decide. She got what she wanted. We took her to a tattoo shop bc they have sharp needles they use vs using a dull earring to pierce her ears. Tattoo places heal way faster around 2-3months as the gun to piece with earrings take 6 months. The gun is more damaging to the ear for healing. I’m glad we waited to let my oldest choose she loved it. And my youngest is 18 months and I will do the same and wait till I think she’s ready and can choose

We are getting my daughters done for her first birthday I wanted to do them when she was 2-3 months so she didn’t pull on them.
The longer you wait the less likely they will be crooked when’s she finished growing. The tattoo shops and piercing places will tell you that.

Got our daughters done at 4 mos
Did my third child at 5 months my other two were around 3 months.
All three of my girls at 4 months had no issues when they were babies. I would recommend getting the higher quality ones to avoid allergy issues. For my family it’s a rite of passage to have a babies ears pierced plus it’s easier since the sooner it’s done the less pain. My middle daughter now chooses to not wear ear rings but likes having the piercing jic lol
I was in my late 20s when I got my ears pierced. I have never had any trouble with them thats been 40+years ago

I think most places its at least 4 months
Mine was 2 weeks old no infection nothing now shes a happy 2 year old
Personally I’d wait for them to choose themselves. I got my ears pierced at 6 months and my mom took very good care of them well they eventually were very crooked. Most professional piercers advise to wait until they’re at least 2 or 3. I don’t wanna take the special experience away from my baby girl. We’re gonna make a whole girls day out of it when she’s old enough to ask for them and want them

Some wont do it unless she has 1st set of shits. But I would take her to like a tattoo place. I found the gun is more traumatic than a needle pluse they kniw what they are doing more than someone at walmart or claires
We were able to do so after their first 3 rounds of shots
My pedi did mine when I was 9 months old my 1 daughter had them at 9 months too

I ordered the piercing gun with 18K gold studs. I used the marking pen on each ear and did one at a time while she slept. My daughter was 3mo. The first ear woke her up so I nursed her back to sleep, the second ear she didn’t wake up from. She’s got a few pair of earrings (daddy had special made) she is 6 now and loves that they’re changeable

My baby girl is 4, will be 5 in July. I made the decision to wait until she’s old enough to decide herself she wants her ears pierced. Ears like most of the body, dont stay the same size as children grow, therefore, getting babes ears pierced young, means the holes may not be in the right place later on in life. What if she grows up and she doesnt want her ears pierced?? Also, if you’re bent on doing it, take her to a tattoo/piercing shop instead of somewhere like walmart or claires.

I’m going to get hateful comments but she asked for opinions…I was in the mall when this mother got her infant daughter’s ears pierced. This baby screamed and cried and the mother said “I feel like such a bad mom now!” We’ll ya think!!! I waited until my daughter was ready. She was 8 years old, she picked out her earrings and her grandma went with us. I think it’s a personal decision. It’s not like circumcising … good grief. Ear piercing is not a religious act or a health decision.
If she was too scared, we would have waited until a later date when she was really ready.

Piercing guns at Claire’s or where ever are the worst way to pierce ears as they force the earring through unlike at a piercing parlor where they use a needle. Just wait till she is older and can make her own decision. Clearly it’s not for her and for you. What if it gets infected and damages her ears? It’s purely cosmetic and unnecessary.

I know so many get their babies ears pierced but shouldn’t that be left up to her I maybe strict but I didn’t let my daughters get ears pierced until they were 16 so they knew exactly what they were getting done And make sure they took care of
If you do end up getting her ears pierced, at whatever age; please do not go to someone who’s going to use a piercing gun! It can destroy the surrounding tissues. Must safer to go to a professional piercing shop that uses piercing needles!

I’m not bashing by any means, I’m just speaking my opinion and if you do it then that’s on you. But, I’m waiting until my little girl asks me because that’s her body. She is the one that will be deciding what to do with it. If she wants her ears pierced now, I will gladly take her but I will warn her about feeling scared and that I’ll be by her side. I don’t make her decisions anymore, (besides where she’s going, who she’s with, what she wants if it’s appropriate for her age, ect.) I wouldn’t dare pierce her ears as an infant where she doesn’t understand what’s causing her pain or why she’s in pain in a different area she’s never felt before. Just her getting shots makes me cry because I saw her looking confused, pained, and sad. Like I said doll face, if you want to do that go for it. She’s YOUR child, don’t let anyone else put you down for that. I spoke my opinion about it and I am against it but I will NOT put another mother down and judge her for what she does with her child.
