i dont think its cruel, but i think id wait till my husband got use to the idea. its better to get it done while theyre young. i know this sounds horrible, but my niece got her shots and ears pierced all in one afternoon, but she didnt cry that long. she was okay and not she looks even more adorable.

I had mine done when i was about 3 but there is now way on this earth I would do it to a baby or even a 3 year old, personally I think it looks tacky and cheap like you should live a trailor park. saying that I was manager of a tattoo studio in Spain and I hada client come in wither 2 month old and I did have to pierdce her ears and she wasnt botherd by it at all.

I would do it cause he will love it when it is all done! I had mine pierced when I was 2 months old, its best to do it this young cause they cant play with it, my cousin waited till her daughter was a little older and she pulled one out in her sleep so she had to go through the pain again! its not that bad he will get over it!!

You will have enough issues in your relationship with a newborn baby arriving. I would not simply ignore your partner`s wishes. Also, you risk infections by piercing her ears. I got my ear piercings at age 8, and I really wanted them then. I am a big believer in letting your child make his/her own choices when it comes to things like this.

UMM tricky one i dont think i would as it should be a joint.however i had my ears pierced young and when i look at pics i think i looks really common.x

piercing her eats is really not a big deal..my daughters ears were pierced at around 5 weeks old..and she cried for about 5 minutes..after that never bothered her again...she loves wearing her earrings now but every child will be different I suppose.

I had my ears pierced as a baby, so it didn`t bother me, however, I would never pierce my baby`s ears as I personally don`t like the way it looks.

Its ear peircing not a belly button peircing. If i have a girl i`m going to have her ears peirced within the first 6 months too. People are entitled to say it looks cheesy ect but that is there opinion i think little girls look extra pretty with little gold sleepers!! I have carried my child for 9 months am suffering chronic back pain, sleepless nights and all the other complaints of pregnancy WE as mums get the overall say lol would just be nice if our men agreed. As for infection so long as you bath them every day and make sure that the peircing isnt too tight in the ear (some people have fatter lobes) then they shouldnt get infected. Good luck xx

Not only would I respect his wishes, but I think that its something your baby should be able to decide for herself when she is older. I personally think it looks kinda cheesy when baby girls have their ears pierced. Its a milestone for young girls when they get their ears pierced. I remember when I went to get mine...I felt so grown up. Why not wait until she is older and then make it a really memorable experience for all of you?

My husbands ex did this to their daughter without asking and he was allittle upset she didnt ask first... ironically when we were out with our daughter who is 4mths today about 3-4wks ago, he asked if I wanted to get her ears pierced so we did it :) In all honesty, she cried for less than 10secs, I think it was more the sound of the gun than it was the pain. I had mine done as a baby... she doesnt play with them because she doesnt even know theyre there. Theres less chance of an infection as a baby because youre taking care of them not the child. Also, I had a 2nd hold down when I was in the 8th grade hurt like hell, so I cant imagine waiting until theyre older to `ask` and it being more painful for them because theyre older and more aware of the pain.

I think you should let your child decide for herself if she wants her ears pierced or not! So that means don`t do it! When she is old enough to decide for herself she can go and get it done. Doing it behind your husband`s back is not right! How would you like it if he did something you didn`t want behind YOUR back? And the woman that said she wont` KNOW PAIN??? Ummm babies are HUMAN BEINGS and they feel pain just like you do. They have nerve endings in all the same places we do. Therefore they will feel the pain. You think she`s gonna giggle and laugh when the needle is put in her ear?

you need to agree when it comes to decisions for your child. compromise. Ask him if 6 months would be ok.

MJamison (295.1 days ago)
I would do it! Honestly... she can take them out if she doesnt want them later.. but why not do it well she wont know the pain!

Niamh-Jo (295.1 days ago)
If your kid wants her ears pierced, she`ll do it herself when she`s older and can actually decide for herself! I would never do this to someone unless it was something they`d expressed a wish for. She`s a baby!

mommymeg (295.1 days ago)
I dont like the look of infants with earing either, plus what if it were to get infected, my mom worked with someone that had this happened and he ended up getting a major infection that spread. If hubby is REALLY against it I would wait till he agrees, its both your child 50/50

I want to pierce my baby`s ears too but daddy doesn`t want to until she is older. I got mine done when I was a baby and I just think they look so darn cute. I have to convince him it`s ok because I don`t want him doing anything crazy to her behind my back. I wonder if they make baby clip ons... just so he can see how cute she will look with them.

I would wait until my husband agrees too- but work out a compromise. My husband thinks 12, I think a baby, so maybe we`ll compromise and say 5 when she goes to school? The pediatrician told my sister that it is better to do it when they are young and wont mess with them, pull on them, etc. and you can clean them, then to wait until 1 or 2, because they are more aware and can do more damage. Good luck!

Not everything is a drama! you`re not always going to decide every tiny detail together, it gets exhausting. I would be affirmative with what I want, so he doesn`t really have to object.

magnolia76 (295.1 days ago)
I personally would wait until my child is old enough to want and take care of the piercings. And since your husband is against it at this time, you shouldn`t go behind his back and do it anyway, that will mess up the trust in your relationship. It is his baby too, and you should be in agreement on things like that, just my opinion.

Nan639 (295.2 days ago)
It definitely should be a mutual decision. Does he have an age in mind? I personally don`t like the look of infants with earrings. It makes them look older, why rush it? My daughter`s ears will not be pierced until she`s old enough to decide if she wants them. Thankfully, my husband agrees with me on this. Good luck!
