Is it crazy to pierce an infant's ear?

my sister said she’ll wait till the baby is 4 months so she can pierce her ear? what age is she supposed to pierce them for her?

Answer #1

She can get them done at 6wks of age, I did both my girls at that age

Answer #2

Isnt that a little young for a piercing?

Answer #3

I think it is wrong. It should be up to the child if they want their ears pierced. It may surprise some, but not every girl wants holes in their ears.

Answer #4

I wouldn’t get them pierced until she is old enough to say if she wants them or not as Holly said, cause I know some girls that don’t have them done and they don’t want to get them piereced.

Answer #5

I didn’t get my ears pierced until I was 2 years old.But My cousin pierced her babies ears when she was like 2 months old.

Answer #6

In lots of cultures babies get their ears pierced. Im glad my parents got mine pierced as a baby. And I have never actually met anyone who wishes their parents didn’t pierce their ears as a baby. It’s a rather odd thing to be upset about.

Answer #7

Plus I meant to add that they might want to experience that themselves. I had a great time going with my friend to get my ears pierced and showing them off. :]

Answer #8

alot of ppl get their babys ears pierced wen they r babys they wont remember it wen they get older so u dont have to worry bout them bein scared to wen they get older:D

Answer #9

no, I had a piercing when I was a few months old

Answer #10

Not at all! :D I don’t know when my parents got mine pierced but I can’t remember it! :DD And it did not hurt me the least bit. (:

Answer #11

My cousin pierced her baby’s ears right after she was born. I think they are cute but as long as they parents keep the piercings clean I don;t see the problem

Answer #12

Not really, i think it looks cute :)
