it is recommended that it be done after the first series of vaccinations.

Re: ear piercing for a baby
Yeah, my pediatrician just told me yesterday that it's OK from 4 months up until about a year. 4 months because that's after the baby's immune system is more developed and after the tetanus vaccination; after one year, the baby's fine motor skills are developed to the point where she can pull the earrings out, so it's a good idea to wait for several years if it hasn't been done by then.

That exactly what our pediatrician told us. So I had my daughters ears pierced at 4 months.
