I know that lots of baby girls get their ears pierced when they're babies... I saw a newborn get her's done once. I would think that it would be safe... Although I can't say for sure. If they'll do it, i'm sure it's safe.

Yeah its safe, but I wouldnt get it done at just any old place...Make sure you go somewhere where you know they wont mess up. Because they will get infected easily for her.

It is safe however there are a few things ull need to think about. Go to a place that pierces both ears at the same time it will be easier on her. Also a lot of people say to do it when they are babies because they wont play with them and they wont get infected. However fyi some daycares make u take them out of the kids because the other kids might try to pull them out. Good luck

I would prefer that a baby have at least one (better two) tetanus shots behind her before her big day. Two would put the event at 3-5 months old for most kids. Also, babies are better able to handle the more common minor skin infections they might get once they are more than 3 months old.

They will ask to see vaccination records too. Well at least they do in colorado. I went with my sister to have my nieces ears pierced.
