Best time to pierce baby's ears?

I'm asking this here because as Indian women and mothers, you guys will have the best insight on this.

I want to pierce my baby girl's ears soon. She is 7 months now. I had my ears pierced as a baby and I'm thankful that it was done before I was aware. Same for every woman I know. 7 months seems like the ideal time to pierce ears.

On the other hand, husband wants to wait till baby can ask for a piercing herself. I do understand the importance of consent. But I feel it is better to get it done now. Better healing, no fear factor, etc. But I don't want my baby to grow up and think that I took her choice away.

Does anyone here regret that they got their ears pierced as a baby? Is anyone happy that their parents waited to ask them? What did you do for your own kids?
