I live in the US and had my daughters pierced at 2 months of age. The younger they are they will be less apt to yank them out! But it isnt unusual!

all, I am pregro here in Costa Rica and getting a girl in July. My hubby's family has already given me 2 sets of earrings and they do expect me to put them in my daughters little ears soon after birth. Very unusualy in were I am coming from but "normal" for CR everybody says. How have you handeled this issue ?

So, how did things turn out with your little girl? It does seem to be the new fashion in Central America to have two or three earrings right from birth. We have seen it in Panama as well. It can be very cute if done carefully.  Our daughter got her ears multi-pierced (and gauged) when older, so I am sure she would have liked us to do hers as a baby instead.

Do you have pictures?
