[quote=Anonymous]Nigerian here and it's tradition. Not sure why. One of the reasons could be that baby boys and girls wear the same clothes and it's one sure way to tell if a baby is a boy or a girl. It's usually done in the hospitals before discharging mother and baby. It was strange to me when I first moved here to see little girls with unpierced ears. I like the look so I got a second one when I was an adult so I could were two earrings. I am also a mother to girls and all got their ears pierced at about 3 months. No option to do it at the hospital and their pediatrician advised to wait till after their first tetanus shot. The area is usually numbed before piercing. One of my dds didn't cry at all and one cried just a little then slept off. [/quote]
