I agree. It makes me feel very uneasy.
Its culturally very important to people though. In Brazil, Argentina and some other South American countries the midwife will do it for you before your baby goes home.
Edit: Wow, had no idea how widespread it was. Common to pierce ears of newborns and infants in India and loads of West African countries too. Mind boggling.
People who pierce their babies ears.
Just saw someone at school pickup with a baby in a pram with earring. Actually made me feel a bit emotional. And nauseous.
