When they’re older, so they can decide for themselves. My parents got mine done when I wasn’t yet 2, and my first memory is being in complete pain due to an allergic reaction. Getting their ears done so young is nothing more than your own vanity. You don’t know they want them so young, and they most likely have no idea what an ear piercing is, or that it’s gonna probably be painful. If you wait until they can make the choice for themselves, they will also be able to take care of them by themselves.

When I first learned I was pregnant with a girl I thought I would get her ears pierced around 3 months so they would be easy to keep clean and she wouldn’t mess with them. But then I actually had my daughter and I can’t even handle it when she has to get her shots. I couldn’t imagine how bad I would feel piercing her little body unnecessarily just for vanity. I’ll just wait until she’s older and can verbalize that she would like to have them pierced. But to each their own!

I say there is no reason to stab unnecessary holes in a baby. When she is older if she wants them she can get them but it should be her choice. There is a risk of infection and too much risk of them being ripped out. Why put a baby through that for your own selfish gratification??? Not to mention as they grow the piercings move and I’ve seen many that are no longer centered and look ridiculous.

Do it when she’s young. I did both my girls at 4 months old. I had my done when I was about 3 and it was terrifying. She won’t remember. Go for it!
My mom got mine done at 6 weeks and I’ll do the same if I ever have a girl. But don’t have it done by a gun. Go to a professional piercing place like a tattoo shop.
There’s so much to take care of those 1st few years, why add another thing to that list

I actually just saw a post where someone took their baby and the gun got STUCK on her ear. Ripped it like crazy. Babe can’t communicate the pain and doesn’t understand what’s going on.

I waited until my daughter’s could tell me that they wanted it done. My mom said she regretted getting my older sisters done as a baby and gave me the choice, I waited until I was 9 my daughter’s were 10 and 5 when they decided. They bother rarely wear earrings though, they just wanted it done. I’d say wait until they choose, but she’s your child and you can decide. Just don’t let it cause a rift between you and hubby

We did our daughters at 3 months. About a year old she found them and constantly pulled them out. Even bought screw on backs. They are closed now. Gonna wait for her to choose.

If u do it please do not go to Walmart or the mall. Go to a tattoo/piercing shop. The other places have no way of sterilizing the guns and they aren’t professionals. I did my daughter’s at Walmart and regret it plus now the piercing n one ear is all jacked up
I did my girls real early…its easier.you can have them done by two people at same time. When theyre older they might let one get done and not the other
I did one at 6weeks and one at 3mn I took them both the. Tattoo shop where they use a new needle for each ear and put locking hoops for the child’s first year then I changed them out
In my opinion, I’m going to use that as an example of ‘her body, her choice’. I’m going to use that as a ‘no one is allowed to do anything to you unless you want it’ type of lesson.
I think you should wait and let that be something she decides on getting. Just because you guys got your ears pierced young doesnt mean anything.
Also, you won’t be going to a tattoo shop which means they would be pierced with a gun. Do you have any idea how unsanitary that is? They never clean or sanitize them and they use the same one until it breaks.

My daughter got hers pierced around 3 months same with me. 3-6 months is perfect time imo they don’t really have the coordination to pull on them
Did it when my daughter was a few months, ended up falling out later on and closing. She’s four now and decided she wanted them again so we re pierced them!
I’ve given my daughter the choice that when she turns 16 she can do them at that point in time but until then she has no pierced ears as I ended up with headaches after getting mine done at 8.

My daughter was 6 months old. She did great… they look fine… aaaand she never messed with them.
I had my daughter done at 3 months old… she now 17 months old and has never bothered them.
I’m leaving it up to my daughters. When they are old enough to ask for it and clean them. Babies and toddlers are so prone to injury, I wouldn’t give them an extra opportunity to rip something out 
besides it’s their body, not mine. If it serves no medical necessity, I am not adding any accessories to their bodies without their consent. ( My youngest has a feeding tube so she’s the only one with any “accessories” )

I made my older kids wait until 8ish years old…when they could be responsible for cleaning and everything themselves with only small reminders. With my youngest, I gave into pressure from her father and my older kids…and she got them done at 6 1/2 years old. Totally regret it because she may have been ok at cleaning and turning them…but she refuses to let us change them out so has had her starters in for the majority of the past 9 months. A couple times I was able to switch them when she was sleeping but now if I try, she wakes up and cries.
She was still on the fence, in my opinion, about whether she wanted them and I think their pressure convinced both of us to do it before she was really ready.

My granddaughter on the other hand had then done as an infant…and my daughter has never really had an issue. Granddaughter will be 4 next week…
I believe her body her choice. My daughter is 6 and still doesn’t have hers done. She has started hinting towards it but I usually wait it out to make sure it’s a definite choice in the long run.

You care about your “tradition” so much that you’re taking it to fb in order to figure out what to do? I’m sure the baby is going to be devastated if her ears aren’t pierced at the same age her great great grandmothers was.

I’m leaving it up to my daughter. She’s 5 got them pierced when she was a baby she tugged them out…after that I was done. I felt bad that it caused so much pain for her. She’s 5 now and doesn’t want them done!
I also don’t really believe that it’s a traditional thing…yes most of my generation got them done when we were babies but I could have went without ! I wish my mom would have waited and used it as a reward system maybe…idkkk everyone is different.
And also I got mine done as a baby and the lady messed them up I can’t wear fish hook earrings at all which makes me upset but it’s something about the way the ear grows with your body.

We got our daughters ears pierced at 3 months. It was the perfect age to where she was still young enough to not mess with them and we had no problems.
I’m doing my daughters at 3 months. Later on in life if she decided she don’t want them she can just take them out
We’re waiting until our daughter can decide for herself, I think pierced baby ears are adorable but it’s not something we want to do because it isn’t our decision to make.

But what little girl dont want their ears pierced! If you do it without her opinion then do it asap
My oldest daughter was 18 months and I wish I never would have done it. My ears got infected because they rejected the piercings whatever the metal was. Even had the doctors pierce them when I was in middle school. My youngest daughter I decided not to do them. If she wants to she can do it when she’s ready.

I personally think it’s ridiculous to do that to a baby bc they should have a choice in doing it. My daughter just turned 6 and begged us mainly her dad to let her get them done and I told her ahe needed to be more reaponaible first and she has been her dad said yes and she got them pierced 2 weeks ago and loves them. She got to make that choice to get them done and I’m proud of her.
