Walking my way around the forum, I found two posts concerning piercings and saw a picture of a two year old who had pierced ears. (she's absolutely cute, for the record.) I have my ears pierced, but I was thinking, I've seen mothers take their child into a mall store (i.e. Claire's) and watching as the piercer tried to dot the little girl's ears and pierce them.

To be honest, I think it is more trouble than it is worth at such a young age. Their pain tolerance is kinda low, they fidget with them because they are not used to them, and if they aren't taken care of they get infected.

I'm not saying its a bad thing, for most girl babies it just adds to their cuteness. Any thoughts?

i don't like any kind of piercings on anyone, but just my opinion

baby boys get circumcised

a little hole in the ear isnt such a big deal

I worked at a jewelry store (a real one, not claires LOL) and was trained to pierce ears. The FIRST time I ever did it on a customer, it was a 6 mo old baby. They scream bloody murder at first but are over it in a matter of moments.

I think its highly unnecessary to get them pierced before the kid can even object to it. Also their ears grow so much by the time they are grown up the holes are way too high up and look ridiculous.


Just sayin.

i know i'm such a chicken when it comes to pain that if it was up to me as an adult, knowing what it involves i'd never have gotten pierced ears. Best that my mum did it to me when i had no idea what was going on

i got my daughter ears perieced when she was about 4yrs old, and she had alot of issue with it. so let her decide when she got older, and she fine with perieced ears.
my youngest grandaughter is almost 3yrs old and my daughter had her ears perienced if i recall before she 1yrs old.

i have a cousin that had her daughter perienced as a baby for alot of people thought she was a boy for she had no hair

I think it's more for the parent--not so much for the bebe.

I wouldn't do it, it's just not worth it.

I wouldnt do it to my baby!!!
