Did they ask for foreskin mutilation?

It's cultural and there's no harm. Come on.

But why hurt a child when it's not necessary?

Because its CULTURAL!!!!!!! Did you read that? The nurses do it as soon as the baby comes out.

If you have a son, did you also not circumcise the child to to causing pain? It's a culture thing, get over it. My mother pierced my ears at weeks of age as well. I never regretted having pierced ears.

Well to me a 'cultural thing' isn't reason enough to alter a child's body part. But that's just my opinion...

Her ears were also pierced and it's not a big deal. In brazil the earrings are given to the nursery nurses. The baby leaves the hospital with it.

Nor I. Those that are should be far more worried about what would lead them to calling a child trashy or ghetto. Plenty to worry about there.

It's funny reading this site.....black folks have been piercing our babies ears for decades. My great grandmother pierced mine at. 2 mos. I have two daughters, one got them at 3 ms, the other at 9 mos only because her ears were so tiny I had to wait.

I'm black and no baby girl's ear has been pierced in my family. My mother waited to have my ears pierced until I asked for it. I was 3. I'll do the same with my girls.

I remember getting my ears pieced at 4. I remember wanting pierced ears and I remember it hurting. I probably would rather have not remembered it (ie having it done as an infant), but earrings on a girl is pretty much inevitable.

I had my ears pierced as a baby and thank god!
I was not a cute baby. The earring were a needed distraction.

I hope y'all aren't anti vaccine too, sheesh. It's better to do it younger because the baby doesn't remember it.

My point was this is not some trailer trash epidemic, and all of my friends with daughters had their ears pierced as infants. And for the record, this is a group of college educated women......
