Some viewers couldn’t understand why anyone would pierce a baby’s ears. “It hurts just like when they’re older!” one commenter said. Another person argued, “Let the baby decide when she understands what it is.”
On the other side, some defended the mom’s decision, pointing out that ear piercings are common in certain cultures. “It’s a normal practice where I’m from,” one supporter explained.
Lara’s mom didn’t shy away from the backlash. She responded by explaining that piercing newborns is often less painful than doing it when they’re older. “At just 2 or 3 days old, babies don’t feel pain the same way,” she shared, adding that the piercings were done by the hospital’s neonatologist.
The video showing Lara’s pierced ears has sparked endless conversation, with many viewers sharing their own thoughts. What do you think? Should babies get their ears pierced at birth, or is it a step too far?
