Question

When is it a good time to pierce your baby's ear?

Answer 1

When and if they say they want it done. You shouldn't do it when they are babies.

Answer 2

Whenever you want.

I did my first daughters at 2 months my 2nd daughter is 3 months but I have not gotten hers done yet.

I don't know when I plan on doing it but before 1 year.

I do want it done before she can reach up and notice them by the time she can do that I want her used to them.

Answer 3

you shouldn't do it until they ask.  

Answer 4

When they are old enough to ask you for it.

Answer 5

What if your child doesn't want pierced ears? Wait until she can decide for herself that she'd like piercings.

Answer 6

When they are at least 8 years old.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

i think you shouldn't Perice your child's ears unless they want it.

my cousin got her ear pierce when she was 2 and wished her mother had waited for her opinion

Answer 11

3 months or later because babies at 3 months old are better able to handle common minor skin infections they might get.

Answer 12

I had my daughters ears pierced at 3 months. If you're going to do it as a baby, do it before she can reach up and touch them.

Answer 13

I think it is a good idea to wait until they are a little older. I have a 1 year old little girl and I am going to wait until she asks. If she is 5 or 10 it is ok with my but I want it to be her decision. My 3 year old son has expressed interest in getting his done ( which I am not sure about???) and I think he is old and mature enough to make that choice. SO I guess if my daughter asks at a mature 3 I will get them done then. I was 11 when I got mine done and I am glad my Mom made me wait. Anyhow that is just my opinion. I don't think bad about mothers that get them done on babies....they are cute. It is just my choice. Have a great day!

Answer 14

anytime after their first set of shots til about 8 months. after that they would probably try to pull it out

Answer 15

I was 7.  I remember getting them done.  My Mom told me that I was a big girl now and could take on the responsibility of taking care of them and keeping them clean myself.  I was feeling very grown up that day.

Answer 16

when they ask to get it done
