re: What age to let daughters get her ears pierced?

There is nothing dangerous about a toddler getting ear pierced more so than an 8 or 12 yr old

You clearly lack basic common sense if you can't recognize that a toddler has more risk of getting the site infected than an older child that is mature enough to know how to care for it.


Toddlers touch everything and then stick it in their mouths. Very easy to touch things and then their ears...potentially spreading something that can infect the site.


But please try and explain to us how mature a toddler is and how you can tell them not to touch the ears with their dirty hands, and they will follow those instructions.
