Re: those preggo's having girls....
i think its good to do it when they are young-- i had mine done when i was like 4 months old.... of course back then it was perfectly acceptable to go to a jeweler-- i would ask the pediatrician for their opinion!!

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I did DD's at 6 months - I took her to the mall. Some pediatricians will do it in their office - Most make you wait until 6 months though.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I won't do hers until she is old enough to take care of them herself. I was not allowed to get mine done till my 8th birthday, and my mom made a big deal out of it- we went to dinner, and then to the mall to get the piercings, and I got to pick out a couple pairs of new earrings. I look forward to doing the same thing with her when she is that age.

Same here. Ask for & take care of them herself.
I felt bad enough chosing a circumcision - I didn't want to alter another child without their permission.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I feel its better if you get them done asap, or at 3 months! That's when I got Julia's done, she didn't know where her ears where yet so she never touched them, and they healed perfectly!

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I got mine was I was in the 5th grade. Which was a good thing because my mother really was no help tunring them like you are supposed to...she just couldn't turn the posts without making me vomit. So it was a good thing that I was old enough to understand and take care of them myself.
DH and I haven't really discussed this...I really am not sure how I feel about it either. I have some concerns with a baby so young having earings...such as them getting caught on a stuff animal or something while she is playing.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
If I have a girl I am going to wait until she asks for it.
For me - I had a number of friends who ripped open their earlobes open as children when their earrings got caught on something when on the playground. Also - ears grow and a few people I know had to have their ears repierced later b/c their earring were off center when they got older. Finally, the last reason - I would be afraid they might swallow the earing if they get the backing off - which I know is rare but does happen even with the screw backs.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I think we are going to wait until she asks for them also....
I had mine pierced when i was in kindergarten, it was painful and the jeweler was mean...i didnt want to let her do the second one and she told me that santa wouldnt come if i didnt let her pierce the second ear...i still remember her exact words 30 years later!
I wound up getting an infection and let the holes close a few months later and wound up getting them done in the 6th grade b/c my grandfather told me when i was ready to get them pierced he would buy me diamond earrings.

I like this idea.
My dd is 2.5 but I didn't want to pierce her ears. I just didn't see the point when she was young - when she's older, if she wants to she can, and we'll make a big deal about it

Yeah, because altering your childs ears is worse then altering the way their genitalia looks and operates. Its not your body to pierce but it is your body to cut off part of it? Wow.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
I just had my DD's done. She was 4 mths and 1 week. Her doctor did it and she was over it in less than a minute. She took the piercing better than her shots. She was smiling at the doctor after it was done. I don't regret it.
The dr said it is better to get it done earlier than later because they don't put up a fight like they do when they are 2 or 4.

Re: those preggo's having girls....
well, mine were pierced when i was a baby and i am allergic to EVERYTHING! all these years later, i have holes that still get infected even though i gave up on wearing earrings almost 8 years ago. for that very reason, i vowed that if i had a daughter, she could only get her ears pierced if it was HER decision and she understood the risks [ie-being severely allergic] and was willing to take care of it. nearly 6 years ago, i had a daughter and so far it isn't an issue [at almost 6], but i attribute most of that to the fact that i don't wear earrings so she's not interested so much.
