When did you get her ears pierced?

[Jenstar]

We nearly had DD's ears pierced at 3 but at the last minute I chickened out after the woman said some kids end up walking out with only one ear done. She is turning 5 in April and I think it would be a nice, cute and feminine look for school. I am hoping she will ask me of her own accord but she doesn't really talk about it. I sometimes suggest whether she would like it and she says yes but she never follows me up on it or anything. I hear you can get numbing gel from the chemist too so they won't feel a thing. For many years, I begged my parents to have mine done and eventually they let me at age 11. I felt like I was one of the last girls at my school to get it done.

i got my daughters ears pierced at 11 months. She cried for a short while as she got scared by the procedure but she was fine as soon as we walked out of the beautician. She did not touch her earrings which i was originally worried about her pulling them and they didnt get infiected either.

The girls at the beautician were telling me that its often easier to get it done at a younger age as the baby does not really know whats going on as when there older there more aware and move around alot more (i had to have both the girls and myself holding bubba down). If i have another girl i would definetely get it done ealrier.
