Ear Piercing

[proudmommy120612]

Anyone have any opinions on piercing my daughter's ears she will be a month old tomorrow and I just called around and one Wal-Mart told me they pierce at any age and I was wondering is it better to go ahead and get it done asap or to wait a certain age I can't wait to see her in some earrings and little bangals

Uhhh nope sorry .

Bumpinbaby1995 because you'd be forcing her to have her ears pierced and she's too young to voice her opinion on it. Just like if she was forced into relgion like Christianity or Judaism, she's too young to have an opinion on it. What if when she's older she doesn't want her ears pierced and she has two holes in her ears? It'd be exactly the same as what if when she's older she doesn't believe in religion? I hope that makes sense :)

How is putting two holes in a babies ear is like forcing them into a religion ?!, LOL any who.. do what you like this is your baby !, & congrats :)

Older* not over. Silly phone.

I don't think I would ever force piercings upon a child. I'd rather wait until they asked for piercings. Also, when the child is over they might have a higher pain threshold... As an adult I find piercings don't hurt, where as when I was a child, they stung.

Its easier now because they are less likely to get infected since the baby wont be playing or touching dirty surfaces and then toucing her ears. Plus do it now and she wont remeber and she wont pull them out.
