[quote=Anonymous]South Asia Hindu here married to a Caucasian. Both my girls had their ears pierced at 8 weeks right after their shots. No crying involved, it was that quick. Occasionally I wish I hadn't because they are both now in that dress up phase which costs me a lot of money! J/K!!!! But in all seriousness, earrings in babies are not associated with gender, in India. It's more about the belief that piercing the ears allows the baby to better receive the holy sounds. This can be done at any age but is least painful when a baby. To each his (or her) own. My nieces and nephews (from my DH's side) don't have ears pierced but they are all non-judgmental about our choices, as I am about theirs. [/quote]
