Would you have your baby's ears pierced?

No, no Absolutely not.

My baby is a person, not a fashion accessory. She's 3 now and has Never shown interest in earrings, and that's saying something as she's one if the girliest kids out there.

What kind of message are you sending? Does your infant really need jewelry? Are you that vain? Is she ugly? Does she look like a boy? Does it matter? -Why- does she -need- earrings?

Earrings don't have any medical benefits. So you're basically putting holes in her for fun. (Or for beauty) As she cannot consent to having her ears poked, again, I have to ask you why you think that's okay? I got earrings myself when I was 13. It's not a big deal to wait until you're older, this 'saving your child unnecessary pain' argument is BS. If ear piercing were that painful we would be put under. I went in with my mom and it was made into an important "big-girl" day. I made the choice, I walked into the salon, I picked out my earrings and I took care of them. It's my body, my choice.

Ironically, I only wore earrings for a few years, I never wear them in adulthood and I -still- have holes. Your baby may grow up to dislike earrings but will always have the scars that you put there.

As well, piercing in infancy greatly increases the risk of your child ripping them out by accident, and pericing migration as they grow.

No I wouldn't get a baby's ears pierced. I feel this is something that someone should decide for themselves to get done or not. There is also a safety aspect as well - they can be a choking risk and once the cild is a bit older there is a risk they could get ripped out while they are playing. Not a nice thing to happen at any age.

No, even if I had a daughter I wouldn't even DREAM of doing this. A 6 week old baby doesn't need her ears pierced. Most places won't even accept a baby that young. Let her make the decision when she is older.

My girls got their ears pierced when they were ready. They were 5 1/2 and 7 at the time, and that was honestly earlier than I expected. I didn't get my own ears pierced until I was 9. I wanted to let them make that decision for themselves.

Don't get your babies ears pierced. Why would you do it? She could get an infection, the earrings could get caught in her hair, it's not worth it for the aesthetics. Dressing a baby up to look cute is one thing but punching holes through their ears then sticking metal in them is another. Also, what if she's allergic to them? It's not worth it and I personally find it frowned upon. I don't know anywhere that would even do that to a baby that little!

No. My daughter can pierce her ears when she is old enough to ask and care for them properly. She is currently 3. It amazes me how many times I've been asked when I'm going to pierce her ears. Mine were done very young and got messed up. They had had to be done again and were put to high. I never wear earrings now.

My daughters dad took our daughter behind my back to get her ears done on her second birthday. Yes they looked pretty for a few days until she pulled one out and lost it so i brought her another pair gold because i didnt want to risk infection..only for her to rip them out again. Shes now 6 and still has scars from it. Dont do it until the child is old enough to ask and understand the care required

No way. A baby should look like a baby, not a miniature version of a chav as someone put it. It doesn't look right or cute at all, you'll have to ask your local piercing as every company has their own rules.

Would I? No. My daughter is almost 4 years old and she has no interest in getting her ears pierced. If or when she comes around to it, it'll be her decision since it is her body.

I would not I rather wait until the child is old enough for them to decide if they want their ears pierced or not.
