I know the ear piercing thing is cultural, BUT a friend of mine had an experience that scared the heck out of me. She pierced her baby's ears, but somehow one of the earrings came out and the baby put it in her mouth. She CHOKED so badly she stopped breathing! Thank God they were RIGHT THERE, but they had to call an ambulance, and the doctor was very stern with my friend telling her she almost lost her daughter and that this was not the first time he'd seen this! For that reason, I would be very reluctant to pierce a baby's ears.
