Kylie Jenner decided to pierce her baby’s ears reigniting the ongoing debate. While some view it as a tradition or choice, concerns over consent and health risks persist. The recent photo of Stormi Webster sparked widespread criticism, intensifying discussions on this contentious issue.
Many babies globally undergo ear piercing, but the famous ones stir online debates on safety. Kylie Jenner shared daughter Stormi’s photo at five months, with barely visible earrings, ignited discussions on infants wearing jewelry.
Jenner is accustomed to social media controversies, but the backlash regarding her daughter’s ear piercing and parenting has been especially severe. Critics vehemently oppose piercing a baby’s ears, labeling Jenner as “cruel” and “thoughtless.” Some question whether she plans to adorn her child with large earrings now that her ears are pierced, expressing concern over the impact on a baby’s still-developing ears. One user wrote, “Is she going to start putting big earrings in her [ears] now [they’re] pierced? A [baby’s] ear is still forming and growing at that age,” while another follower commented, “Piercing a babies ears!!!! @kyliejenner be ashamed of yourself. This is utterly disgraceful.”
While ear piercing for babies is often considered safe, medical professionals caution against the potential for infections. Some advise waiting until the infant reaches approximately 4 months of age. Yet, the American Academy of Pediatrics lacks a definitive guideline on the ideal timing for ear piercing. They suggest waiting until the child can manage the piercing independently but do not expressly prohibit piercing babies.
Kylie Jenner and ex-partner Travis Scott’s unconventional parenting draws attention. Travis shared their approach, giving toddler Stormi ample independence. They allow her to decide bedtime, with Stormi consistently opting for an early night, surprising many parents valuing a solid sleep routine.
