Admittedly, I know a lot of people have strong feelings when to pierce a child's ear. "Let them decide" is being replaced by parental decision when mommy intuition knows, "earlier is better" from either personal or friend's experiences of unpleasant childhood ear piercing. <br /><br />Second, I think it just depends on your own personal choice whether or not you wish your baby or little girl to have pierced ears. If you loved having earrings as girl growing up, then your decision is already made, go ahead now and give her little gold studs or a little CZ in each ear...she'll look adorable in her baby pictures. <br /><br />Third, I pierced our daughter's ears when she was six weeks old after asking our ped who encouraged me to go ahead when mommy could care for them. She said if they cry, it is because of being restrained or the noise of the piercing instrument, not any pain. <br /><br />Fourth, my mom pierced my ears when I was 5 days old as and I've loved it....I think earrings on little girls are adorable! If you don't know how she'd look at any age, then hold up a pair of your studs to your daughters ear and decide for yourself. <br /><br />Fifth, as mothers of girls of all ages, we know litte pierced earrings on babies and little girls celebrates their femaleness and femininity. After all, they are, right? <br /> <br />Lastly, I think down deep, if you're thinking about it or just asking others for their opinions, your mommy intuition is really telling you earlier is better. I'd say go ahead and have it done soon and not worry about it anymore giving your daughter the "gift of pierced ears." Promise she'll thank you later when other little girls are envious of her earrings in pre-school, but afraid to have them done for fear of pain. <br /><br />Our ped gave me some suggestions for moms having their dd's ears pierced. If you or any moms would like them, write me an e-mail and I'll send them to you. <br /><br />Amy <br />amyswor@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805760288905631756.post-84016154124280151742011-05-03T17:36:58.479-04:002011-05-03T17:36:58.479-04:00My PERSONAL opinion is to let them decide when the...My PERSONAL opinion is to let them decide when they get older. My thinking being 1- feeling responsible for the few seconds of pain and 2-even with baby backs, I don't see how laying on their ears doesn't hurt.<br /><br />I don't think badly of anyone who has their young baby's ears pierced it's just not personally for me!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212527264716019421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805760288905631756.post-19739918627541416192011-05-03T17:34:45.119-04:002011-05-03T17:34:45.119-04:00Just pierced Olivia's last friday and she was...Just pierced Olivia's last friday and she was 9 weeks old :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020187011772340739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805760288905631756.post-67507487946489322752011-05-03T15:07:11.202-04:002011-05-03T15:07:11.202-04:00sure...why not. get the pain over with :) she wi...sure...why not. get the pain over with :) she will most likely want them done when she is older anyway.

I'm a tattooed & pierced mama, so it's not the pain I'm worried about it's just not really my decision to make, it's Lilla's body. :)Kaleigh Medurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199845542979403484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805760288905631756.post-53099548723560414932011-05-03T10:37:03.799-04:002011-05-03T10:37:03.799-04:00I had mine pierced at three months..I too have nev...I had mine pierced at three months..I too have never been bothered by the fact that I didn't get a say in the matter. In fact I always felt special, because most of the other little girls didn't have theirs done for a few years.

They have never said anything to me regarding NOT wanting their ears pierced and have never once touched or played with them as young babies/toddlers. Now that they are 6 they can change them on their own.
