Baby ear piercing

Where I live you can't get a babies ears pierced until they're 2 months and have had their shots. I'm very on the fence about this subject because my parents waited until I was old enough to tell them I wanted them done. BUT I also think it looks adorable and the chance of them getting infected isn't as high when they are little because I'd be the one cleaning them and it wouldn't be a little girl with dirty hands (you know how kids are). Personally I think we will wait to pierce our daughter's ears until that's what she decides she wants. What are your views?
