  • We did K's at 4 months old.  I know a lot of people wait until the child can take care of them, but I think it's each person's preference.  K's never got infected and now she loves to change them out at 4 years old!
  • DD doesn't have her pierced yet- I am making her wait until her first communion, but I thought I would share my 2 cents as my first job was piercing ears :)

    I agree with pp about studs for sensitive ears... you never know how they will react, so make sure you go nickel free for a first set! If you think she will sit through both, go for it but you can ask for 2 piercers and they can pierce both at once... some places don't do this, but at least where I worked it was an option. I had more than one kid that left with one ear pierced because we couldn't get them to sit through the second piercing. HTH!

  • I asked the pedi about it when D was born. She said that professionally she recommends waiting until they are old enough to not be a choking hazard, so starting around 3. She said that another pedi in the office pierces ears (but she has since left). But, you could check with your pedi office.

  • Now that I am actually on a computer.....

    We got hers done at the Claire's in Shadow Lake, and had 2 piercers do it. I always said that we'd wait until she asked for it, and she'd been asking forever. She only said "ow!" and that was it. We'd never had a problem w/ sensitivity before with her, but I thought I would play it safe since she would have them in for 8wks. I think it was only $10 more.
