get my daughter's ear pireced

[AuntiePickleBottom]

she would look soo cute in studs, and it will also heal by the time she starts playgroup

How old is she?

16 months

yawn

custardo, you need you bed :p

OK will probably get flamed by some Pro-Piercing contingent of MN, but I think it looks horrible on babies/tiny girls. I think better to leave it until she is old enough to make her own mind up about it.

It'll be painful and you'll have to clean them religiously with surgical spirit daily for 6-8 weeks. I'm sure a 16 month old will be happy with that. It might also be uncomfortable to sleep in.

She'll look soo cute though: personal taste but I'm not keen on earrings in babies.

I agree with igetmorelovefromthecat.

but she wont remember this though

She's your child. Go right ahead. Sounds like you're convinced.

Are you considering it to meet her needs or yours?

Well it's never about the childs needs at that age. There are no benefits to having earrings at that age and she isn't old enough to express an opinion about whether or not she wants it.

get her nose done and her belly button ( buy 2 get one free)

then park in a M&T space at the supermarket when she isn't actually with her, whilst wearing a T-shirt proclaiming that formula feeders are baby killers

Nooooo! Don't get studs. Get hoops. You can hang her from the Christmas tree. How cute is that?

gof no, i loved formula feeding, how else could i out my nipple piercing in after given birth

I think the gypsy girl look is so cute.

"Nooooo! Don't get studs. Get hoops. You can hang her from the Christmas tree. How cute is that?"

You owe me a new keyboard!

Just one ear?

YABU.

What the bleeding hell would you she want just one pierced for?

I agree with igetmorelovefromthecat

Let her make her own mind up when she is old enough to ask for them. Just don't be like my Dad, and make her wait until she is able to earn and pay for them herself!!

It is something to let her decide about when she is older. I don't think she will look cute-I would think 'poor little thing'.

Pierced ears look tacky on very young children. Sorry, but they do. Why would you put a baby/toddler through the process just to fulfill some daft notion of "cute"? Does not make sense.

what if it's cultural

ie you get it done in the hospital?

before they come home?

just had a thought about this actually, what if you're living in a country where it's 'the done thing' to have bub's ears done so soon (?spanish?IIRC) and you have an home birth......?

it's only a pair of earrings, and they can be taken out you know

not like it's a tattoo or anything is it?
