Anyone regret not getting their daughter’s ears pierced at 3-6 months?

I absolutely plan on waiting until my daughter tells me she wants them done (if she ever does). Getting my ears pierced is a fond memory. I’ve also seen people who had theirs pierced as a baby say they wish their parents didn’t pierce their ears. Plus, the piercings can shift as baby’s ears grow.

Doing them as a baby is great if they’re actually going to continue to wear them later, but my mom did mine when I was under 1 and I still have my holes. I’m autistic, and I get annoyed feeling the holes that literally never close! If my baby decides later on to go, I’ll go get a cooler piercing for myself that I’ve wanted for a while rather than the normal ones 😊

SAME me and my fiance keep mulling it over like we want to maybe let her make the choice but by the time I wanted them I really wasn't responsible enough to take care properly and then we think well if we do it younger we can make sure it heals properly

Never question your decision. I got my daughter‘s ears pierced when she was six months. The healing process is hard. You have to be cleaning them every single day and if they pull on it, it will irritate it and it will look infected, even though it’s not, and it was hard getting her to not pull on it but now that she’s nine months, she kind of got the hang of it and leaves it alone. My sister-in-law’s daughter hasn’t had her ears pierced and she regrets it because now that she is one, she is harder to hold if they’re trying to pierce her ears and also when they’re smaller, their ears are very delicate that the needle will go through easier. It also depends where you get them done. We got them done at a professional baby ear piercer, and she gave us the aftercare kit to wash her earrings with and exactly how to do it and how to keep it clean. Do what you think is best for your baby.

Just be fine with your decision then, my little girl is 4 years old and she still doesn't have her ears pierced il be waiting until she's older

I got my daughter ears pierced at four months. I understand everyone’s side to it. It’s just a personal opinion at the end of the day. I got mine done when I was little I had no problems with them. I loved them and my daughter got hers done around the same age and she has had no problems with them. She also hasn’t pulled on or anything Like that that people were suggesting would happen. And the after care process was really simple. They just gave us a bunch of these sterilize wet wipes that you would clean the earring with every day and around the piercing hole. I had no problems as of yet, and my daughter just turned nine months! I also wanna add that I got plastic earrings to put in her at first. I don’t know if that’s standard or that’s just with the piercer. I went through, I just put in her first pair of real metal earrings. so as long as you’re comfortable with your decision at the end of the day then that’s how it should be.
