Has anyone pierce their little girls ears yet?

Question

Answer

No, and honestly I cannot think of a compelling reason to put artificial holes in a baby.  Like, is someone doing it just so she "looks like a girl"?  That seems like a terrible reason to put her at risk for infection. 
I'd much rather wait until she is old enough to understand and consent to body modifications. When she's ready, we will do it as something special and meaningful for her.
I say this as someone with 9 piercings.

Answer

I am taking my daughter to get her ears pierced in a couple of weeks. My mom took me to get mine done when I was 3 months old. I obviously don’t remember it, but the holes have never given me problems or closed. I got my 2nd holes pierced in my teens and I was not responsible enough to take care of them and they got infected and closed. So I’m glad mine were done when they were.

Answer

I cry when my daughter gets her shots which are 100% neccessary pain..it is so pitiful seeing your baby cry in pain..so I cannot justify inflicting needless pain to her. I plan to get them done if she wants to when she's older, I figured it would be fun if I got a piercing with her.

Answer

No. Why because there are allot of infection risks associated with this also I’d rather my daughter ask for it later on when she’s old enough to care for them. Right now she can’t say if she wants them or not. 
Also many moms don’t end up doing the second ear because the baby will definitely cry 😭. 
Why do this it’s worth it to wait

Answer

Planning to this Friday! I’m so happy my mom got mine done when I was a baby because I didn’t have to stress over it. Her pediatrician says in his 15 years of work he has never seen a baby’s ears get infected afterwards. If he sees infections from ears it’s on 3-5 year olds. For us, it’s a Hispanic cultural tradition- when I asked her pediatrician about caring for them, etc. He was like... are you mixed? It’s the white in you overthinking it 😂 and he’s white lol anyway, I’m so so grateful I got mine done when I was a baby.
