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

I don't think it is a wise decision to get a baby (or toddler)'s ears pierced. Makes me think the parent is more concerned about appearances than their child's overall health.

Think they should just wait until the girl is old enough to help take care of the piercing. Also...you can have that be a moment/milestone she looks forward to.

Although I think the baby will be fine I agree. It sounds like the mother wants to play dress up with the baby. And I agree about the milestone, when we took our daughter to get her ears pierced she was extremely excited and was a memorable thing for her.

Lmao. You are blowing this shite way out of proportion. As long as they are 6 months old it’s perfectly fine as their immune system has to be strong enough.The ENT doctor we went to does babies all the time she said. It’s better to do it when the child doesn’t know about it. My little girls don’t even know they are there so they don’t pull at them at all. All you have to do is take 1 minute out of your day to wipe the ear with an alcohol wipe for 6 weeks and that’s it. Not a big deal at all. My wife wanted them to look like cute little girls which they do.
