My nanna got my ears pierced for my second birthday pressie, I never had a prob with them.

My mum got my daughters ears pierced for her first birthday & I've never had an infection, just a couple of lost earings along the way where the butterfly came off, she never ripped earings out though. I changed her to sleepers after she lost the last earing & havent lost one since.

She's now at the age when she likes to change them when we're going out or special occasion etc.

I think they look cute on little girls But it is personal choice, some people have very strong opinions about this topic though, just so you're aware.
