I was recently asked about Ear Piercing here in Marbella for Kids and why so many young children have earrings.
Well, I have heard about a doctor somewhere in San Pedro that does ear piercing for kids especially. I cannot find the details but pretty sure if you speak to any Spanish Mother in San Pedro, they will know.
Also Claire Accessories do ear piercing too. My daughter 5 and a half had been asking for about 2 years to have her ear pierced. Finally one day whilst passing Claires we decided that she could have it done.
I think nearly every single friend of hers has their ears pierced and has done since Day 1 as its very common for the matron to come when the baby is born and do it straight away.
Surprisingly when one day the subject come up between friends, I felt like I was the worst mother in the world because I let my daughter have her ears pierced. Some people have really strong views about Ear Piercing kids ears. But each to their own and respect everyones views. Kids endure alot more pain playing and fighting and falling over in the playground.
We were going to leave it until she was about 7 years old which was the same age I was, but she really really wanted to have them done and we explained that it will hurt and she wont be able to touch them or take them out and she was absolutely brilliant.
So if you are having a baby here in Spain you can ask the nurse how to get it done when they are still in hospital, Claires or find this doctor in San Pedro.
If you know about this doctor in San Pedro please leave a comment.

You can have your ears pierced done in almost every chemist in Marbella and San Pedro. They use some kind of "piercing gun" where you put the earring in and it's just a second, and not really painful either.
A lot of English mothers were horrified when I had my girls ears pierced at almost 7.I did it in a chemist on Calle Terraza in Estepona Many British people think that it is "chavvish" but all the children have it in Spain and in this cultural setting it does not have the same connotations.
