The hole was technically "healed," but because she was a child, she messed with them all the time, caused an infection, and the back got embedded. I'd NEVER risk that for my baby, and I'll allow them to make this decision for themselves.

When you can say that you remember how much it hurt when it was done to you (at an older age), you are admitting that it is a terribly painful thing. Why would you want to subject your tiny child to that? Why would you want your baby to feel the pain that you can remember as being awful?

We did research together about the best methods for piercing, and sought out A pro with experience working with children.
