Well I said that is could be cultural "I know, to some, ear piercing is culture/religion too, but since there is the whole pain and after-care aspects it feels different to me."
I'm not going to judge for a child what type of pain is minimal or not.
As for aftercare, that is a real concern. It may not be to some, but it is to others and the FP would be responsible, not the birthmom.
Although they do not recommend ear piercing, our peds requested that if we were going to pierce our daughters ears that we bring them into the office to get it done because they want to be sure things are sterile and safe and that the child is ok. They do not recommend a place like Piercing Pagoda until age 5.
Again I suggest the OP talk the SW.
