[quote=Anonymous]I used to work for a pediatrician, and we would see a lot of infections in little girls who got their ears pierced as babies. It's very important to keep pierced ears clean, especially in kids that are active and get dirty (ie, most kids!) They also pull on their earrings and, over time, it makes the holes bigger. It's an individual choice, but I am going to wait until my DD is 10-11 and let her decide. She has to live with her pierced ears, and I think it's important that she be part of that decision-making process. I also want her to take some responsibiltiy for cleaning her ears and appreciating the need to keep her pierced ears free from infection.[/quote]
