never knew what the point is of having babies ears pierced.
I wouldn't do it.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. But a friend of mine had her baby's ears pierced at the pediatrician's office.

My words of wisdom - let the child decide if she wants her ears pierced or not. Obviously she cannot do this at 7 months.

My daughter was 5 and even that seemed young to me. But it was her decision and she enjoyed the process and learned how to take care of her own ears. (Big sister had several piercings so that's where she got the idea.) I would wait. I think each individual has the right to decide whether or not to pierce her ears.

Talk to your pediatrician. Some doctor's offices do ear piercing. I'd have it done by a doctor.

I worked at a place in high school where I did ear piercing. I had very little training, I just had to pass a very easy written test. I hated piercing babies' ears! I'd stick with a pediatrician if you're going to do it.

I took my daughter to Piercing Pagoda in the mall at about the same age. She cried for maybe 5 minutes. Haven't had any problems since.
