Hi. There are no recommendations as to when the ear piercing must be done. It depends on your comfort, though I would not recommend before 6 months age. Yes, it is recommended that the piercing be done by a doctor to ensure it is done under proper aseptic precautions. Warm regards, Dr Aanchal, Therapeia centre, Bangalore
