Does anyone know where to get infant earrings other than Claire’s?

Hair dressers and tattoo shops do them, that being said , they will only do them when baby is at least 6months old

Tattoo shops offer body piercings  
I’m sure they can do ears  
It’s a lot easier to pierce an ear than other body parts

I just need a set of earrings, she already has them pierced.

I have 2 girls who's ears are not pierced, but I have run into numerous people who have asked me why I didn't. Majority of the people who asked where from a different culture. One actually was shocked that the hospital didn't do it when my 1st daughter was born. It was interesting, but obviously "different culture" can't be the only reason as people of our culture clearly do it as well. Maybe easier to keep clean and heal when they are younger rather than wait till they are older? I'm sure someone will have a better answer, although I can see this thread turning bad fast.

Not that I need to defend myself or my decisions but it was just something we chose to do. Does me piercing my daughters ears (regardless of the age) affect you in any way at all? I think the answer is no so why come onto a thread that I was simply asking a question and change the direction of it. It’s simple to start a discussion so why not start a separate one with the question you’re seeking answers to? Thanks to the people that gave me some suggestions.

They used to have children's earrings, but not sure now that they got rid of most of their jewelry. Worth a call.  
 
If you are an online shopper, I am sure you find some.

I have bought my daughters earrings at charms since my daughter was a baby. They have really good twist on backs where they also work as a protector so that the stick doesn’t poke behind the ear. They are reasonably priced for gold or white gold. I have also gone at times when there have been no taxes on children jewelry so there are chances to get cheaper!!

I like to use hinged hoops, the type where the hoop opens up like a book on a hinge and then closes in on itself easily. I buy mine at shoppers drug Mart and they have a variety of them in case you have sensitive ears. I like the fact that if they are pulled on, they will release instead of tearing the ear.

Zeke's downtown usually has good selection of great quality earrings.  
Try the jewellers at the Shoppers Mall

Everyone for the great suggestions! I was able to find some. Unfortunately couldn’t order online because only one had fallen out and been lost so I needed a pair ASAP before the hole grew Ofer. Thanks again
