I'm Currently Feeling:  | Think its personal choice

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I wouldnt personally, id wait til baby was old enough to ask. It could be dangerous, i'd feel really mean about doing it and i think babies should be left as babies. But thats my choice. xx |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | just remember that babys pull other peoples earings out of curiosity so they will pull their own, baby food, snot, other baby yuk ness being rubbed into and pulled about near a fresh hole in the ear=infection+pain.
i dont think babys at any age should have any piercing at least untill they are old enough to understand the after care involved.
but again each to their own |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | older kids myb, like toddlers, i wouldnt but i dont mind others doing it. but i was in the doctors once and a woman came in a i heard her say her baby's DOB to the receptionist and the baby was about 6 weeks...and she had earings in. they took up about half her ear lobe. it didnt look good and i felt very sorry for that baby... must have been traumatic for her. i think they have to at least be old enough to understand. what earrings are |
