A new mum has defended her decision to have her newborn daughter’s ears pierced when she was one day old.
Lara shared videos of her adorable baby girl still in her hospital cot, and TikTok follers couldn’t help but spot the newborn’s sparkly earrings.
“I don’t think you should put piercings on your child unless they can tell you if they want them,” wrote one commenter.
“As a mum I am against piercing … it’s her body and she will decide about that herself,” wrote another.
“So do they pierce the ears before they cut the cord?”
However, plenty of people came to Lara’s defence, explaining that in some countries and cultures a baby’s ears are pierced when they are born.

Lara, who has more than 700,000 TikTok followers, said the piercings were done by a medical professional.
“When they are 2-3 days old! They don’t feel the pain like a year or two! The holes are given to them by neonatologists in the hospital at birth.”
She clarified her comment saying, “I meant that the earlobe is much softer, and they don’t feel the pain the same way! She had no reaction.”
