It's truly a parents decision. I personally would never do it to a baby, and I don't like seeing babies with pierced ears, but it's my own opinion and I don't fault parents who have it done, I just wouldn't do it.

I will wait until Quinn is old enough to want it done and old enough to be able to take care of them. My hubby and I decided that probablly no earlier then 6 would we let Quinn have her ears pierced. I had mine done when I was 13. I'd prefer waiting until Quinn was 8-10 years old, but if she REALLY wants it done earlier we'll have an open mind.
