I just wandered how people felt about little girls with their ears pierced? I had Gracies done at 3 months, mine were done at 6 weeks. Just wandered if anyone has/thinking about having it done or disagrees.x

Im not saying you're right or wrong, it's your choice! but I don't like it personally. I wouldn't want to put my little one in pain, id rather she chose if she wants to have her ears pierced when she gets older...

Not sure - Part of me would like to get her ears pierced a lil later on but another part of me thinks I will wait til she says she would like it!

yeh i must admit i did think i would feel really guilty if she screamed but she was really good and jus cried when they did it after were done was fine. i found it really easy to turn them and clean them and she didnt cry or get upset at all or fight me!. she is now 2 and half and she has never touched them or played with them etc (so far!!) i guess i thought it would be better get em done while she wouldn remember it really. x

My cuz had it done to her LO and she didnt even cry. She said she was told they dont have any feelings in the ear lobe intill 3 or 6 months can't recall which one lol

Really? I never knew that.

My mum is a beauty therapist and does ear piercing, she refuses to do babies ears as she can't take it when they cry! bless

I had my daughter's ears pierced when she was 2 months old. She didn't cry at all, however, I don't think I'd do it again if I had the chance. Once she got older, she never wore earings. She just started wearing earings again (she just turned 14).

yeah there are alot of places that wont do it anymore until 5 years old. most places say once they had their 1st lot jabs done it ok now- my son had 1 ear done last year(age 7) after driving me mad for ages and his gone thro 6 earrings where he plays wiv it- i gave up now and refused to buy a new one, so i think his hole has closed!!!! lolx

Never heard that they have no feeling in their lobes until a couple of months old! Hmmm if IF its true maybe its the noise. If I remember right it makes one loud pop? Loud to a baby maybe since they are starting to hear and sudden one off noises make them jump? Then again I could be wrong about the noise I can't remember!

yes it is quite loud- for a baby anyway-quite poss it could be the noise that makes em cry, although i never heard of them not having feeling in lobes either. i think personally its not much different from the heel prick test from my experience.
