I personally think babies shouldn’t have their ears pierced. The child should choose for themselves.

Once she is old enough to give her consent.

It absolutely should be the child’s choose. They’re not young to consent and look after them responsibly.

It should be banned worldwide! It's a tradition in The Philippines and common and Canada and America. Koreans and Japanese don't do it. The girl needs to be an adult before getting her ears pierced in those 2 countries.

I'm pentecostal, married to a man who doesn't ascribe to any particular christian dinomination but he lets me raise my daughter the way i want to. I chose not to pierce her ears cause i never did. I chose to continue in that lifestyle even after i got older. Might not be the same for my daughter. She might choose to get her ears pierced in the future. The important thing is, i want it to be her personal rational decision. Cause as tiny as it is, its something that i consider an alteration to the body.

Plus the procedure is few seconds long and ears close up.Hispanic mother's do this instantly.The pain is few seconds and most babies some don't even cry or notice.

It's traumatic on the body, regardless of where the child remembers it or not and it's cruel. I live in south america and the amount of times mothers try and defend this is heart breaking. Its not like a vaccine that could benefit your child, its something you do cause you believe it makes your daughter beautiful. How shallow is that? Let them decide if they want that pain when they're older. When they can rationally think for themselves. They will respect you for it and that's a memory worth having, rather then a forgotten memory of how we made them endure pain in the name of customs and traditions.
