You don't need a pediatrician for that. I had my daughter's done at Claire's. Make sure that they use the sterile gold studs with the sharp points and the smallest gauge. However, I did wait until she was 2 years old. Not that she could make any decisions at this age, but she was really excited and was able to hold still. She did not cry and it did not seem to hurt her. I did change the earrings a few weeks later because the point on the originals started to scratch her. Otherwise, it was all a great experience.

A year is a strange age for that, she may pull on it as it will hurt for a few days. I did my daughters much younger and she did her daughters when they were much older, lol. In any case please use posts first and not loops as they will be much safer and remember to turn them each day and use alcohol.

You can go to Claires and get it done.

That is where I took my daughters, one was two and the other three months. They use only pre-sterilized, pre-packaged earrings- they never use needles. The use of disposable gloves is also done. Ear piercing is free with purchase of starter kit. The kit includes piercing earrings and ear care antiseptic.
