I got mine pierced before I started school but my stepdaughters waited I think, and the youngest has the hardest time caring for them. I just remember my mom rationalizing with me (and later with my little sister) that if you do it young, the kid won't mess with the earrings as much and you can care for them better (we did it at age 3...) I don't know what I would do if it was my own child- probably at least try magnets.... that’s a cute idea, to use magnetic earrings.

What I DO remember, though, is the horrid infection and the unbearable pain of my aunt, a practicing cosmetologist, digging out the infected, scabbed over lobes with a sewing needle she had held over the stove to "sterilize." I love the idea of magnetic earrings. You should get her a set number of pair and tell her that if she really wants her ears pierced than she'll have to wear those every day and not lose them. Not to worry, though, I don't think they'll cause harm if the lil one swallows them if they're stainless steel they'll just pass right through her. Girls want their ears pierced because they want sparkly things, not because they want holes in their head. This will give her what she wants without the worry of infection.
