I got DD's done at 18 months, please place i got them done will not do them before 18 months to give the lobes plenty of time to grow otherwise the earrings can sit too far back or too far forward.

DD didnt cry at all, but then again she never did with her needles either.

Good luck with whatever you decide, if this baby is a girl I will probably wait until she is 18 months too because DD loved having them pierced and she didnt play with them too much, we made a game out of putting the antiseptic on them
