    i got DD1 done at 4months and to my surprose not a single tear just a little grizzle and that was it. I have had some ppl tell me that in their opinion its a form of child abuse but personally i would rather do it whilst they are younger. With DD2 (who is 8 wks) i will prob do it b4 she is a yr too. We never had any infetions or probs with them etc.

    I grew up in Mexico, where baby girls get their ears pierced a few weeks after birth. None that I knew of had any problems. (My parents didn't let me get mine done until I was 15 though...) With DD, I will let her get hers pierced when she asks for it, but not before. I just wouldn't feel right making a decision regarding body modification on someone else's body, iykwim.
