2 month old son's ear pierced?

My son is 2months as most of you know, im thinking about having his left ear pierced, just a tiny diamond stud nothing huge, tacky or chavvy, personally I think it will look really cute. What do you guys think?

The fact that you can consider putting any earring on an infant and not consider it to be tacky really reaffirms my faith in humanity's ability to engage in self-delusion.

Why not really give the little guy a touch of REAL class and get him a Taz tattoo?

I say dont do it yet..if he wants to get his ear peirced when hes older then let him

I say do it
if he doesnt like if when he is older it will always close

Nah nothing chavvy about a 2 month old baby with a peirced ear, being pushed around in his buggy by his 16 year old mum... It might sound harsh, but it's how most people will see it.

b1ff... im not chavvy in anyway at all so how can you say it will look chavvy for me 2 push him round with a earing in, im not exactly having a massive diamond am I!?

I hate to be so harsh, but when I and many other people think of chavs, one of the first things that come to mind are teen pregnancies. As for the earring well it's not going to help the case.

no. at least wait until he's old enough to have a say for himself. YOU are putting holes in HIS body. just no.

He's your son, if you want to then do it. Nobody else's opinion should matter.

and btw, I think itll look horrible. not cute. you dont hear mum's friends saying 'aww, look at that cute baby cause of that thing in his ear'

Up to you, but I reckon maybe you should wait til he's older, and can make up his own mind. He'll cry a lot cause I saw a baby have it done the other day, Why dont you let him make up his own mind, or just ask him when he'll understand? Lol

wait till he's older!!

I think you should wait until he is older and then ask him if he wants it done. Although my mums friend got her babys ears pierced and they look fine and dont bother her too much, your kid at the end of the day

dont do it yet.wait in till he is about 2 years old.

I would have to say NO, puting an earing on and infant espashly one that is only 2months old is a BAD IDED. the latest you should put a hold through a living being is when they are about 2 years old.

Don't do it. He's not your little toy to decorate to the level of cuteness that YOU like. He is his own person and should be allowed to grow up and have some choices for himself.

I appreciate your comment ethmer but I am not using him as a little toy at all, he is his own person but then again that's just like saying he cant wear a baby bangle becuase he might not like bangles, or not to have a lime green pushchair like he has because he wont like limegreen. if he doesnt like it when he gets a little older it can come out and WILL heal!! Its not exactly a tattoo. My nephew and lots of my cousins who are from newborn-2 all have there ears pierced and none of them have a problem

Bombness666 I dont understand, you say not to now becuase he is non the wiser, but at two kids still dont really know their minds especially about ear piercings! so I dont see the diffrence between now and two when he is still non the wiser!!!

You would be "branding" him and he would have to live with it and allow it to be part of what formats his being until he reaches an age of maturity (probably around 11 to 13) where he could decide for himself.

What's next, are you going to pierce his tongue because some members of society may find that cute and he would suffer less by having it done now rather than when he get older. He can always remove it and let it heal when he gets older!

That's just pathetic really isn't it! I'm not doing it becuase other people may think its cute, I personally do, he is getting it done Monday anyway, I only really posted this question to see if anyone had had bad experiences of it infecting etc. Thanks anyway but he will be having it done monday despite how anyone chooses to disagree!!

As for the infection part, I've known a lot of babies that have had their ears pierced when they were about 2 months and as long as you take care of it, it shouldn't get infected. My daughter had hers done when she was three and I wish I would of gotten it done earlier because she picked and pulled at them a lot. Normally infants don't do that.

thanks colethky did you just use the solution that was given to you? Yeah my nephew had his done when he was 3months, hes almost 2 now and doesnt pull it or anything he just leaves it becuase it always has been there so its normal to him.
