Just wondering if any of you are planning on getting your LO's ears pierced one day. When would you be doing it? I had mine done when I was a baby but I don't think I can do that to my little girl. It sure would be cute but thats about it. One day I would like to have it done. Just not sure when.
So what are your thoughts on this?

I would never ever pierce a babies ears. first of all I think it looks tacky, second of all you don't know if she even wants pierced ears or not and third of all I HATE when people use the excuse that it's "less traumatizing" when they're a baby. I'm sorry, but getting your ears pierced doesn't hurt that goddamn bad. if anything it's more traumatizing for a baby because they don't understand what the fvck is going on, where as with an older child who wants them pierced she knows she has to go through the little bit of pain and IMO gets to make the choice as to whether or not it's worth it to her.
and I agree with PPs that it should be a rite of passage sort of thing.
I had to wait until I was 12. My mom and I went together and it's a nice memory. I will probably do the same with Genna if she wants hers pierced.
I agree with BOTB - I don't know why people think it's less traumatizing for a baby. They don't understand what's happening or why they're in pain
Yeah, it's like a second of pain. It wasn't at all "traumatizing" for me when I was little, I remember getting it done.
This.
I also feel strongly about not piercing a baby's ears.
