At what age did you pierce your dd's ears?

My mom did it for my daughter when she was about 3 months. I didn't love the idea of doing it so young-hated how she looked with earrings for the first 6-8 months or so.
Only agreed to it because pediatrician said under 2 months there's almost no pain, and otherwise I should wait until she's at least 2 so she can handle the pain.
Plot twist- my daughter is 3 now and absolutely refuses to wear earrings, tried quite a few.
Don't know what I'd do when iyh I'll have another girl.

4 daughters 1-10, only one has pierced ears. She got them when she was 9 (when she asked for them).

Dunno, OP, but whatever you do: make sure she's not wearing pearl studs.

No daughters have asked to get pierced ears yet in my family.

My daughter just got hers pierced last week. She is eleven, but a few months away from being twelve. She had been asking me for a very long time.

She did ask when she was quite a bit younger, but I put her off, and she stopped asking.

I am not in favour of babies getting their ears pierced. I would rather wait until they ask for it.

When they asked - and that ranged between 4-11 years old.

Before they became bas mitzvah.

One of them had a really bad reaction, and ultimately decided not to wear earrings. I'm really glad this didn't happen to her as a baby.

Rappel, you’ll need to consult a past thread on wearing pearl studs for shidduch photos. The OP of the thread, with a ds in the parasha, felt that there was something not quite OK with this style of earring, that it shoes a lack of fashion savvy and sophistication and who knows what other nonsense she spouted. But I think it would be ok to get pearl studs for a very young girl, as long as she doesn’t wear them when she’s in shidduchim and as long as any prospective mothers-in-law don’t hire a private investigator to snag her baby pictures showing her mother’s ill-advised choice of “unsophisticated, nerdy” earwear for her.

However, I am deeply opposed to mutilating a child without her informed consent, which consent requires a certain level of maturity and ability to “see the nolad”. . Not before HS IMHO. (Go ahead, ladies, throw your tomatoes. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.)

Oh zaq, zaq, we agree on so much... surely at 11 1/2, so she can have pretty earrings at her bas mitzvah is old enough?

I remember asking for earrings since I realized what they were. My mom always told me "ok but it's worth a needle" and I had a needle phobia. Do it wasn't until I saw these beautiful gold Mickey mouse earrings in the Disney store and k was looking wistfully and my dad said "you know you need pierced ears for that" so I said "let's go do it now!" And we did it.

I like that my mom left it up too me. But I do think it's adorable on babies. But I think I'd wait. There's always stick on and such for babies
