i was suppose to do this last month but i still havent gone around to doing it. I guess she will get her pierce when she is 6 months.

No, I am waiting until she is old enough to take care of them herself.

I got Alyssa's done when she was 2 and we got Kate's done for her 1st birthday. Alyssa screamed and Kate wasn't even phased by it.

We're waiting until Nicole is older, when she decides she wants them and is able to take care of them.

Same here, Meghan. After talking to my mil, I may make her wait even longer until she is old enough not to get into fights.

Ped's suggestions for moms having their dd's ears pierced

When I took Sandi to her 8 week check up, the doctor asked during the visit if I was planning on getting her ears pierced. I said probably not for a while. But she started explaining that it would be really easy to do it now while she is so young and didn't have control of her hands. That way she wouldn't touch or pull on them. Since they would always be there-she wouldn't be too curious about them- it would just be apart of her.

She gave me some suggestions for moms having their infants/little girls ears pierced. After reading them and calling around to find the right place/person to pierce her ears, we went and had her ears pierced that night. And the doctor was right. We have never had a problem with her pulling them or touching them. And she is really good about letting me change them. She didn't even cry much when it was done and much less than her shots. Our ped said if they cry, it is because of being restrained or the noise of the piercing instrument.

If any moms would like our ped's tips, write me an e-mail and I'll send them to you.

Nope, I am waiting until Lauren says she wants them. She pulls hair "pretties" out all the time. I'm afraid to see what she'd do with earrings.

Brittany got hers done when she was 4. No problems at all and I wish I would have done hers as a baby.

Well I'm glad I don't have to decide this. If my son wants them pierced he'll be older and ask for it.
