When can i get my baby’s ears pierced

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends waiting until a child is at least 12 months old before getting pierced ears. It’s important to consider the age and maturity level of your baby, as well as any allergies or skin sensitivities you may have in the family when making this decision for them. If you do decide that it’s time for ear piercings, be sure to select jewelry made from materials like surgical steel or titanium; these are non-allergenic metals that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
