In Bali baby girls ears are pierced almost immediately, it's like their custom where all babies have their heads shaved (except a 1-2cm fringe :shock: ) at their 6 month (7 months to us) Ceremony...
We did not do this, but Mum & Dad in bali did a ceremony & gave hair to the gods from themselves for Indah's 6 month Ceremony!
(not entirely about piercing, but just another thing we do differently)
a little off topic but my SIL had her son's right ear pierced when he was about 8 months old only so they could put a massive diamond in it. personally i think it's a bit too bling-bling for a bub that young to be so.. err.. bling-bling ! since then they've been trying to convince me that ethan should have one too so they can match!
like fi says, i guess my family are just a bit more conservative in some ways..
