[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know where I can get my toddler's belly button pierced?  Should I try to do it myself?

BTW, do any of you wax your DDs eyebrows?  My little one has a unibrow if I don't.

Obviously this was said in jest, but how many of you have pierced your babies' ears? I am talking about a little lemon juice in the hair, not piercing a part of my child's body, subjecting her to physical pain and the potential for infection. No one suggests women who mutilate their child's ears seek therapy.[/quote]

So you're against piercing a baby's ears, but not against coloring their hair?  Seriously?

That being said, I personally made the decision to wait until my daughter asked for her ears to be pierced.  She has hinted at it, so we're going to do it soon.  She's four.

BUT, I believe that the reason that a lot of people do it as infants, is because there's a lower risk of infection when mom's the one cleaning them every day, whereas with an older child, they may not do it as well, and the pain will not be remembered. It is also not mutilation.  Should I take that to mean that you don't have pierced ears?  [/quote]

I mutilated mine as a teen.[/quote]

me too, and I absolutely agree that it is mutilation!  I don't regret it for myself but anyone who says that it's not mutilation doesn't understand what the word means.  I would not do that to a baby.[/quote]
