| Sure, infants are great...it looks cute, and they won't touch it, so cleaning will be easier! |

No way, it looks horrible and tacky on babies. It is only in the best interest of the parents to do it...they aren't your fashion accesories. |

I'd wait until they are older so that they could decide. |

I will definitely be waiting until Kate is old enough to ask me to take her. I am not a fan of the look of earings on babies and what if she doesnt want earings when she is older? I dont think I should make a decision like that for her, its her body and her ears that she has to live with...plus I hate taking her for shots knowing that it causes pain, so i couldnt imagine putting her through this, even knowing she is young and will forget about it.

| We had lilys done when she was 3 month old.. we used the topical freezing and she didnt cry one bit she actually giggled and laughed the whole time.. I say get them done when they are young if they dont like them when they are older they can take them out.. we had no problems.. she didnt get infected and everything was fine.. but do what you wish just use my advise no matter what the age use the topical freezing its worth no crying IMO

My parents did not do mine as a child and I'm glad. I'm now 24 and still don't have them pierced. Personally, I do not like earrings so it worked out for me!
I' m no angel, but I've spread my wings a bit

| I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 6 yrs old when I asked my parents. It turned out that I was allergic to the cheaper earrings, and was only able to wear gold earrings (otherwise my ears would swell). Anyway I don't wear earrings now and I think I stopped wearing them around 12 yrs old due to having so many problems with the earrings.

| My mom was dead set against peircing our ears as babies. We were told when we reached age 12, we could get them done, so that we would be the ones to take care of them. My sisters and I had them done when we were 11, early as a reward for an achievemnt. (I think for me it was a certain grade on my piano exam). Personally, I will wait with any daughter I have. Maybe not until 12, but at least until she's older and can decide if she wants them.

I personally would wait until she's old enough to decide for herself. I got mine done when I was 12 or 13...after asking several times, lol. My mom and I went out after my volleyball team won our tournament - kind of like a little celebration thing. It somehow made me feel "grown up" at the time
