i got to ask how do u feel about piercing an infants ears?

my personal belief is ur doing it for u the child has yet to form and opinion on it. i never did my daughters when people asked ( i have 8, 3 in the left, 5 right) y i hadnt dont it yet i told she didnt ask me. my daughter got hers pierced at 8 shes 9 now.


what do u think?

I did my Daughters @ 3 months but when my Granddaughter was born we decided to let her ask in her own time @ 5 she asked if she could have them Pierced for her Birthday.
I think looking back, I should have waited for my Daughter to ask. Just in case SHE didnt want them Pierced.

I had boys so I never had to deal with that issue.
I really don't understand why anyone would put their child through
the ordeal. I mean, they are babies and have no idea what your doing.
It's a thing the parent does for them self, not the child.
It does hurt, even if only for a second. So why do it?
I don't get it.

I got my ears pierced when I presented it to my mother, not her to me.

I think it is wroug!I don't think anyone has a right to put holes in another persons body.They are talking away the choices that only they should make.

My mother made me wait until I was 16...I actually think that is a good age for them to make a decision. I do have a rule in my house that you can not get a tattoo until you move out!!
I have boys so I don't have to worry about the ear thing, or so I thought. My son was 18 when he got his ear done. Then he got his eye done and then under his lip...uggggg!!!
My other son does not like needles so I won't have to worry about him happy

I have the archaic point of view that it should be each parents perogative how to raise their child if they are not causing harm to them. So I would never pierce my infants ears because I see piercings and tattoos as an unnecessary form of mutilation. Once they were grown and wanted to mutilate their own body, it is not in my hands.

My youngest was pierced at 6 months at the hands of my ex who doesnt even believe in dresses and nail polish. Hypocrite. My younger daughter will be 5 and doesnt have hers pierced. I am glad, their baby pics look so much a like, now i look for the earrings. lol

i'm completely against it...allow them to grow and make their own decisions.

i love piercings, i really do...and my fifteen-year-old has her lip and belly button pierced in addition to four holes in each ear, but she was a teen and chose such.

i have a HUGE hole in one ear from an infection when i was small. my mother was trying to get the earring off, and it pulled straight through my rotted lobe. i can't wear any studs in that ear, or they go straight through the hole...and it's an eyesore. i wouldn't inflict such on an infant.

I pierced my Daughter's ears at 3 months...only because I was tired of people mistaking her as a boy...even when I dressed her in pink clothes they still commented about her as if she was a boy...laugh I think it is cute,adorable piercings on infants...I say,"to each his own...your kid...your choice".:smile:

People do that all the time, even with bows in their hair...whats worse is all the unisex names too. . .it makes it even harder to tell the girls from the boys with the names, like taylor, devin, sam...and what not..

I def. chose feminine names for my girls, although they are pretty girlie now anyways so it doesnt matter. my oldest hardly wears earrings cuz she says the backings hurt anyways. my youngest is not pierced.

Earrings on a child just distract from their beauty. I let my daughter pierce when she was 11. She is 26 now and no longer wears earrings, preferring the natural look.
