Mom had mine done at 4 months. Couldn’t be happier(:
People say girls shouldn’t have their ears pierced til they are older and can decide for themselves yet will have their sons circumsized and NOT let them decide for themselves.
I got my daughter’s ears pierced at 4 months. She didnt even cry. Had them both done at the same time. She loves wearing “pretties” in her ears (what she calls them) and she is 6 now.
I did not have my son circumcised because I found it to be way worse. Now my 2nd son (different dad) demands his son be circumsized and I absolutely do not want it done. So I can see the vote for letting them decide because I wish he would let our baby choose when hes older but his foot is down.
They are our babies but they are people too.
I was scared to get my ears pierced. Got them done when I was 11 and still was a baby about it…nervous and what not.
Do it regret piercing my baby girls ears? No. But I think I understand where other mothers are coming from when they say “let them choose”.
Look at all the judgmental jerks. If you don’t want to do it, don’t. Those that do, great! Stop acting like assholes!!! Not your kid, none of your damn business!! Sick of seeing hateful ass comments.
I say her right her choice when she’s able to decide . We think it’s cute but I feel like it’s her decision when she’s able

I don’t see a problem with it but that’s me and I don’t care what anyone thinks. I’m glad my mother did mine. Just please go to a professional. Piercing guns are VERY dangerous.

My mom got it done when I was 1
And I’m glad she did.
The piercings aren’t for her they are for you at this point so maybe just wait until the little one can decide if she’d like permanent holes in her skin

My daughter was 2 mos.
3 months is the usual wait time for most peircers, don’t let the naysayers discourage you. She will very likely ask for them to be peirced later anyway. If she doesn’t want them, she can take them out and they will close. She will be poked and prodded several times over the first few months of her life with vaccines and bloodwork and if she were a boy, possibly circumcised. I don’t see the problem. If you want to pierce your daughters ears, do it. I did with my daughters. I also formula fed, breastfed, coslept, and let them watch television. Whatever works for you and your household is what you should do. Good luck with your precious delivery

We did our girl’s when she was 10 days old. She didnot even cry. The ears of a newborn are sooooo thin, after that to the breast inmediately, and that was it. Now she is 11 mo and perfectly fine.

If you choose to get her ears pierced, do not let anyone use a piercing gun. I wish my mom wouldn’t have got my ears pierced when i was a baby because they are now crooked, get infected easily, and will never close. I just think it can be really exciting doe little girls to make that choice themselves, and it can be fun and help them feel “grown up”. I will not personally get my daughters ears pierced until she asks, but that’s because I’ve heard and had a horrible experience with it. However, you do what you want, just make sure it’s not a gun because it’s super unsanitary and risky, and at such a young age can be very harmful.

I used to work at walmart in the jewelry department, i didn’t pierce the babies myself, but the ones who did, they wouldn’t do it before 2 months with their first set of shots

It should be their choice. Also just to let you know…most people whom work at claires or walmart…have zero clue what they are doing. I’ve worked at both…ive seen the guns get stuck to their earlobes multiple times. Wait and get a real peircer at a tattoo shop to do it. P.S. None of my boys are circumcised.

As an infant? Why? Those studs poke the back of the ear. Cant they just be babies for awhile? Permanant holes in her eat at 3 months? Thats crazy. Wait for her to ask for it. Yes its cute, but shes not on display.

Pierce them when she’s like 4 or 5 months I suppose. She will thank you later. I always wished my mom had gotten mine Pierced as a baby so I wouldnt have remembered. I waited 2 or 3 years longer than the rest of my mates to have them done because I was scared. Lol.

I will be waiting until my daughter is old enough to decide but if/when you get hers done at least make sure it’s done at a piercing/tattoo shop not walmart or Claire’s
My mom didn’t do mine and I totally wished she had. I did my daughter’s at 3 months and I actually felt bad after because I realized I wanted permanent holes in her ears not her. Hopefully she’s ok with it later in life she’s 2 now and we both love her ears pierced.
Why would you do that tho?

It needs to be banned. There’s no reason for a baby to have pierced ears or any reason for anyone ever to need pierced ears.
If someone said “how soon can I get my baby’s eyebrow pierced” or anywhere else the comments on here would be totally different

Most babies ears are softer so it’s actually better for the baby if you did it younger some cultures get them done nearly straight away with their little girls 3 months is a good age once she had he vaccines just because some people don’t agree doesn’t mean you have to listen I wanted to get my daughters done too but got hell off my family and I’m raging I never went through with it she has said she wants them done she’s 4 now and I’m hoping I get them done soon for her … do what you feel is best she’s your baby after all x
Once she decides she wants them and asks you!

I got mine done when I was a baby. So did my brother and my sisters. My husband also had his done when he was a baby as well. Me and my husband are going to get our son’s ears pierced and guess what…he was born on 11/23/2018.
We have no regrets about it and neither should you momma. This is your baby, so it’s your choice no matter what anyone else has to say.
The day that they are financing, fucking, or feeding you then they can have a say. But until then, your baby, your choice:metal:
Personally I would wait till they old enough to understand and ask the child, but each to there own.

My daughter had hers done just after her 1st birthday, she didnt cry flinch or anything. Shes now 3 and she loves them. come at me wiv ur judgy comments, bad parenting and angry faces bitches lol
I had my ears pierced as a newborn and now have a lovely split in my left earlobe from it growing out and ending up so close to the edge, where it was eventually caught on clothing and ripped out completely! So yeah if you want your kid with slits and rips in her ears as she gets older then go for it
I know it’s a really controversial thing but as a young girl I oftened wished I had my ears pierced as a baby because as I got to school age I got really afraid to get them done but desperately wanted them. When I did get them done I was constantly bumping them and playing with them and they took longer to heal. Earrings are not a far out, unusual or permanent body mod. Most women have them in our society, and if she doesn’t want them, they can be easily removed. As a little baby they are likely to heal quickly without being bumped with lots of play and rough housing that bigger kids do. I don’t have a little girl, so it’s not something I’ve had to decide on. But I don’t hold anything against parents that do decide this.

I wanted to get my daughter’s ears pierced when she was a baby, I got mine done as a baby, it’s not like she is wanting to get her baby’s belly button done so people need to stop being so brutal with their opinions it’s her baby not everyone else’s, good Lord what is with rude people these days .

Alot of very judgey mom’s I see… Alot of y’all are saying bad mom for piercing them, it’s her body not yours, how many of you vaccinate your child… exactly… maybe your child doesn’t want it… let them decide . Don’t be a hypocrite about it… just a simple piercing all was asked was a question some of you woman need to get off your high horses.

I got my daughters ears pierced at 2 months, she left them in until she was 2 years old and then she kept taking them out… even with the safety backs. She was a tricky little stinker 
With that being said, she is now 9 years old and still doesnt want to wear earrings and I dont force her. People are so dramatic. They are teeny tiny holes and if she feels she doesnt want them later let her take them out. Go ahead and pierce that babys ears after her second set of shots.
You can purchase at home piercing kits so you can do them on your own and dont have to worry about someone messing them up. Most kiosks at the mall are run by teenagers so if you chose to get them some by a professional please chose an actual professional, usually a high end tattoo parlor. Will cost ya bit more but worth every dime.

I would wait until she is over a year or two not because I have anything against babies having their ears pierced, i had them done as a baby so did my sister, and as I grew over the first couple years the earings ended up in slightly different positions so had to have one redone.
I had my daughter’s done at a week old & they healed really fast. She didn’t even cry when they did it!
I wish my parents had mine done as a baby, instead, I have a traumatic experience embedded in my memory as a 5 year old. 
Ask around your local shops and see what their age limitations are, and do what you want. Not like you’re piercing her tongue, 
gee people, stop biting her head off.

My oldest daughter had hers done at 10 weeks, and we just got my youngest daughters done last night at 3 months. Just make sure you dont take her to a place that uses a piercing gun as they are really dirty and not sterilized
Well I was 2 months when my mom chose for me. But why not let her make that choice? Children get so few actual choices when they are young why not let her liberate herself when she’s ready? Just my opinion

They say a minimum of 2 months so she has her shots
Got my daughters done at 9 months !
We won’t let our daughter have hers done until she can articulate that she wants it done, and can take care of them herself.
When she has gotten her shots. So around 6 months old.
About 2 weeks after her first shots my doctor said its the best time to do it cause she wont play with them and they let you clean them better
Just do what you want and I see nothing wrong with having them done as an infant and I guess I’m not sure why they would be different site different from one area to another when she gets a little bigger but I think maybe their ears are less sensitive when they’re that age then when they get a little bit older but to each his own I didn’t even think about it and back when I had my kids it was they have their ears pierced but I didn’t even get mine pierced till I was I don’t know how old well I had two kids and when I got mine done and probably three and I had my son when I was 27 so I it’s hard to tell I know because my oldest pierced double pierced one of my ears back when that was the style and she just did it at home with a needle that was it just fun
All three of my girls had theirs done at 6 months old and all of them LOVE having them done. Everyone has an unwanted opinion about what you do with your kids, don’t let it bother you lol. My pediatrician actually did them in his office which was great

I’m personally waiting until my daughter is old enough to decide on her own. She’s 9 months now but I had thoughts about it when she was a new born but I’m glad I decided against it. She’s a puller and I think she would have ripped earrings right out of her ear.

I was 3 months when I got my ears pierced I hope to do the same with my daughter
When I was a little girl in year 1, a boy rip my earring out, now for the rest of my life I cAnt wear a matching set of earrings. I’m waiting for my daughter to reach a special chapter in her life then we will pierce her ears. Maybe when she hit teen hood? Only the future knows. I have nothing against parents piercing their child ears, we all have our reasons, do what you feel is right 
You can Pierce her ears after her first set of shots which is usually 2 or 3 months old

I think its 3 months legally. My mom had mine done at 2 months. But i saw recently that as you grow your ears change a bit and a piercing can likely end up looking out of place as an adult so ive heard its better to wait until your kid has grown more so the piercing looks right.

Most professionals won’t do it until 6 months. I’d suggest a tattoo parlour. Their needles are much more sterile then a gun being used and they are generally trained better then a place in the mall.
I got my daughters done at a chemist at 3 months its a good idea because they forget straight after 
some dont do it but some will
That is BEYOND irresponsible,careless and selfish.first off,why the fuck does a 2 week old baby who’s immune system is low need holes punched in her flesh?why did you put her in harms way by bringing her to an unsterile dirty environment and allow some random barely trained stranger use unsanitary unsafe instruments that hurt like hell on your tiny newborn???those are HER EARS,that should have been HER CHOICE.what the fuck is wrong with you that you wanted to deliberately inflict unnecessary pain on a tiny baby for your own selfish vanity?you treated her like a doll to be decorated,you are a horrible,selfish,irresponsible careless mother who clearly cares more about your own vanity than your child’s well being and safety.it’s people like you that should not be a mother…you did not think this through.why did you do that to your newborn???
