I get it that the kid won't remember the pain years from now. However, there's always the possibility of infection and/or allergic reaction to the studs which could lead to some discomfort and agony for the child now.
I hate to think of some baby going through what I went through (at 14 and 15) in trying to get my ears pierced...no matter what they used and how clean I kept the area, I still had an allergic reaction, and got infection to boot. One stud had to be removed from my ears with pliers...my ear had swollen up that bad. To this day, I have a knot in my left ear that is similiar to a cyst and nothing can be done about it. And, no, I can't wear earrings.
So why on earth risk all this on your babies or small children? My daughter is 5 1/2 years old and doesn't have her ears pierced. I guarantee you she's not concerned with it. Let the children grow up some and let them decide if they want to risk all this for holes in their ears!
