Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
I'm torn. I want to do it at her next visit with the pediatrician.
How old was DD when you pierced her ears and how was the reaction?

Re: Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
2 months old at Claire's.... They have a sterile gun - one person gets to use the gun, and then it gets dispensed - doesn't even get cleaned to be reused which I was happy about.
She cried for about a minute and that was it all done.... She never fussed w/ them b/c she didn't know from her ears at all.
I'm so glad I did it this way, and if I ever am blessed again... I will do it the same way.

I did it at the pediatricians at 4 months, she didn't cry. I don't even think she knows they are there. She's 19 months now, i've never had a problem with them, she's never tried to touch them.

Re: Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
i waited with DD until she could decide for herself if she wanted her ears peirced. I think she was 4 or 5.
If i have another girl, ill just do it when she is little- its easier.

Re: Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
I had my dd's ears pierced when she was 6 months. The reaction was really not that bad. She only cried for a second afterwards and then she was fine. I was torn before I did it too, but now i'm happy I did. She looks adorable!!

Re: Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
6 months old. She never touches them (she's 9 months old now). I love them. She cried for maybe a minute after.
I got them done at Contempo in West Hempstead. My Ped recommended them.

The ped office has everything right there, including the earrings. They have to stay in for probably 6-8 weeks before changing them.
The doctor even said you don't have to put anyhthing on them while healing like bactracin or alcohol.

Re: Ear Piercing? Did you do it for DD?
I got DDs done when she was 8 months old. My ped does not do it, so we went to Piercing Pagoda in the mall and they were WONDERFUL with her. They did 1 ear at a time, she sat on my lap. She did not cry until after it was done and has never had a problem with them.
