I got both my daughters done about 5 years old, I think. Both did end up getting minor infections, as no matter how much you clean them at that age all they want to do is play with them.
My SIL had her baby girl's ears pierced at 6 months, she doesn't touch them at all and they have not had any problems.
It is totally your decision, there are pros and cons for both younger and older, and you need to weigh them up and make the decision thta is right for you and your baby girl.
I'm not really a fan of it before they ask for it!
I grew up with a mum who had no piercings and sad i had to wait till i was 18 to get them done! My dad ended up taking me out of school onmy 12th birthday and getting it done for me and i will never forget that day and how special and grown up I felt.
I will leave it untill my girls ask for it - maybe make it a grade 6 thing or something like that - although my 3yo is already wanting to wear them and i have bought her clip on ones and she wears them around the house all the time and puts them in her special jewelery box etc! Very cute
