Ear piercing of babies. Right or wrong. Your opinion ... ?

Good god.. they will want to be killing them next.. oh wait... 😏

At some point you need to think... 🤔

Is this for me? or the baby?...

I remember when my first daughter was a baby, she was so perfect. And then at about 6 months old my wife and sister-in-Law took her to get her ears pierced without telling me. At first I was pissed but then I realized that she was still perfect to me. And she did look cute with a tiny little pierced ears.

Babies tend to grab things and tug on them. I would hate to see a baby rip her own earrings out of her ears by accident. Even worse, I would hate to see an earring unfasten itself, and the baby swallow it.

That being said, it is a tradition in some cultures to pierce the ears of girl babies so they can wear (usually very tiny) studs.

Wrong. Let them decide when they are older

No, they don’t need it

I think it's treating the baby as a possession rather than a human ... Wait till the child is old enough to decide

It's ridiculous!

Wrong. Both morally and aesthetically.

give them thug tattoos on their faces too

I'm against it. As you get older your ears grow slightly. An adult who had their ears pierced as babies will have piercings that are not centered like they should be. Also the baby doesn't get to choose and that's something they should be able to decide. It's cute but no.

Wrong as they can’t consent plus they could pull it out or get it infected as babies don’t understand how to look after it or why it’s there. Their parents can’t be watching or looking after their ear 24/7

It might be easier to get that done as a baby but I would have concerns about hoops. Tiny fingers can get caught in there and maybe even pull them out.

I wouldn’t do it. But when my daughter was 3 years old she saw a baby that had pierced ears and she became obsessed with getting her ears pierced. I told her every day she was too little and she would say if a baby could do it then she was old enough. So for her 4th birthday I got her ears pierced. Took her to the mall to the earring place and they sat her up on a stool and two women did the piercing at the same time...she left out a scream and her ears turned bright red and stayed red the rest of the afternoon. I had to take her and buy her some ice cream to distract her and stop the sniffling. But she was proud of those earrings for a long time. I can’t imagine why people want babies ears pierced.

I don't think it looks good on a young baby , but that's my opinion , but we have no right to have a go at parents , if they do it, not our buissnes, more to worry about then ear piercing, asking as the baby is not abused and well loved that is all that matters

Wrong, piercings should only be done when the person has the ability to agree to it in my opinion. I got my first piercings at around 15, and by then I was able to say that I wanted one and I was aware of the risks of getting it done.

It's not permanent, however many infections are caused by piercings and it would be preferable for babies to not be exposed to risks like that.

That all depends on whether you're going to hang the kid from your car's mirror (like fuzzy dice) or attach a wire and use it as a handle.

We didn't do it to our children but around here it is a very very common practice to have it done to baby girls

When they get older, the child should decide.

i wouldn’t do it. broken skin is an unnecessary risk in a child with an undeveloped immune system.

Wrong. That should be their personal choice when they come of age. I don't even have my own pierced.

I had it done when I was a baby, I'm grateful, I hate pain and not remembering, great thing for me...

My mama did that to meeee!!!! Lol

I think it’s wrong. It’s up to the child when they can make their own decision.

They don't remember it and heal rapidly quickly ._.
I honestly don't see the problem with things like circumcision and ear piercings. Maybe ear piercings can be viewed as completely pointless tbh 🤔

Wrong. Should be done when they are older.

Wrong. I think that it should be about 15 years old with the parents consent.

Wrong. They should be old enough to decide.

Ears are ok I think. Anywhere else is maybe not so good.

I wouldn’t but if others do that’s their business

It's cultural for many but I couldn't do it

I dont really have any strong feelings either way.. I'd worry if the hoops were too big they might catch them and rip their ear.. but i am guessing it's fairly rare... I would think, given a choice its still better to wait until they can consent..

Wrong

I'm indifferent towards it. Personally I'm going to wait until my daughter is old enough to decide for herself but that's just me, I don't have a problem with babies who have pierced ears.

It seems to me that, at least in the western world, it's done for the parents satisfaction. Certainly not the childs. So I'm opposed to it.

In Spain it is done.
In Ireland not so much.
My child is 10 and her ears are not pierced yet.

Got mine done dont remember it but idk if I could give my future children piercings

I had my daughter pierced when she was 3 years old.

Wrong.

Not only abusive but dangerous as well.

Ehhh Im not for it but Im not about to chastise those who are

Totally wrong

Wait, what.
