My concern with ear peircing is that in playing games and physical activity, there could be an accident that could result in the ear getting torn. Yikes.
I would wait till Jess was eight and she could understand that it might hurt and that she would need to be carefull with them and look after them.
She has never shown any interest in them so far but I always wear little studs. I know she is only 3 but she is very good at conversation and asking about things.

lol im still currently treading that thread and waiting to get to the end to post here. despite i think i posted already and cant remember its been so long rofl. just eat half a toffee cheesecake from the coop and still reading through it. have to get a cuppa soon and ive got Worcester crisps on the brain now
damn walkers lolI never knew it was such a debateable issue, its real interesting to read such contrasting views.
My auntie took me to have mine done when I was 2yrs old, without telling my Mum I don't remember it and don't really wear earings so wouldn't have mided had they not been done. But maybe I was upset I never got to get them done as a teenager, because I had my eyebrow and tongue done instead
Personally I'd not consider it with my child until at least the age of 11 because I believe its an experience they may want to have at an older age, plus I'm soft so couldn't bring myself to take any child to have them done anyway

OH YEAH I DIDN'T LOOK AT THE DATE! I JOINED 1ST MARCH. I WONDERED WHY I HADN'T GOT INTO THE THICK OF THINGS lol
sorry about the caps lock
I know I'll probably regret asking this but... why IS it such a debatable issue?... It doesn't seem to be such a big thing
I agree with Budge... its a personal/cultural choice and should be left at that, I don't think it looks good or bad in babies, I just don't think its practical for little ones... Knowing how little ones LURVE to fiddle with things, at least Tia did... she had to touch, feel and stick her fingers into everything and still does
and the screaming hissy fits we have cos one of her hair clips got caught in her jumper, I can only imagine the noise if an earring did the same., but that's my daughter for you LOL:
The only reason I am so against the hospital here piercing my daughters ears at birth is because it's not a medical issue and I feel like my parental rights are being infringed. It's my right to choose, not some high and mighty midwife But this is a completely different subject that has nothing to do with earrings in babies as i would feel the same if they wanted to circumcise my little boy for non medical matters.

This was a topic which never really concerned me until I read a few threads on here and on Digital Spy.
For me it is up to the parent what they want to me and it none of my business whatsoever to judge a parent on the decision they make.
Why do some people feel the need (I am talking in general not on here) to judge other people's parenting decisions? Why can't people let parents make their own decisions without saying it is wrong. I am so sick of moral do-gooders who think they know your child better than you.
