Baby ear piercing

4/5 months. I did my baby girls at 5 months, she’s 13 months now and we hasn’t had any problems with them x
When they ask for it when they are older. They cannot consent
When they are old enough to ask and know that it may hurt
I did mine at 8 months. People will have opinions and say it’s cruel etc but I had my ears pierced as a baby and it never bothered me!
@Katie not a helpful comment
@Victoria I was exactly the same my mum said I was 7-8 months when they did mine but wasnt sure if the places still do it to babies
Personally ai think doing it when they are young is better- not grabbing their ears and they forget about the pain and arnt going to work themselves ip about the pain. Regarding consent- realising how much of a diva my child is at 4 l months she would definitely want her ears pierced 😅🤣
My parents had mine done when I was just a few months old and I’m so glad they did! I never had to deal with the pain or taking care of them but always have had the ability to wear earrings. Plus, I was not responsible enough to take care of new piercings when I would’ve asked and “consented” to them being done. I’m planning on doing the same with my daughter. If someday she decides she doesn’t want them, she can let them close.
Personally I won’t be piercing my baby’s ears until much later (like 5+ years old). When they’re really little their ears are still growing and changing and there’s a huge risk that they won’t be centred later on. Much better to wait. Also better to wait and see if she actually wants them pierced later on!
