    @PrincessBaby: FYI - I just made an appointment with a Dr. to get K's ears pierced next month! FWIW - this office's minimum age was 6 months. We're doing it a week early since we're going to a family wedding. They start with a 24K gold-plated balls she said (then you can change them out at 6-8 weeks.) It's not done with the gun, and done by the doctor herself. Just wanted to let you know, it took me a LOT of asking strangers w/little baby girls for where they went. This one I finally found from a mom at Babies R Us. Keep asking around!

    @PrincessBaby: I say call a few ENT's in your area but I would go to a parlor before I went to Claire's/Zales. Parlors are SO CLEAN. They really take thier jobs seriously. If you go during the week when they first open I doubt that there will be many people in there.

    I think anywhere you go you are going to have to use a starter. The earring is a foreign body and you want to do everything you can to not have your LO reject it.

    I'd be lying if I said i wasn't thinking about how cute E would look with little sparkly earrings in her ears! But she's only 4 months old and DH doesn't want to do them that young. I always said I'd wait until she wanted them done, but I'll be damned if I don't want to do them for her But she still puts her hands up by her ears too much

    We pierced DDs ears when she was 4 months old.
    I never regretted it. She didn't know anything then.
    Just grew up thinking it was always there.
    We never had any problems with her pulling her ears. There's been a few times her earrings came loose and she was the one who brought attention to it. We got it done at my parents jewelers place. But my friend got hers done at Claire's when she was about 8 months. She moved a lot more and a bit harder than when my DD got hers.
