I can't speak to the baptism, and I don't know the "rules" on something like ear piercings -- but I definitely would NOT willingly do that to any baby I don't care the culture.
I am really surprised to read how many here say it is painless -- I am in my FORTIES and have pierced ears and one of them ALWAYS hurts. Yes I wear solid gold posts. Yes I keep it clean -- but two days in a row of earrings and it's throbbing. Getting them pierced was also extremely painful. The actual holes did not seem to be infected but I had some kind of reaction where the lymph glands in my neck swelled and it hurt so bad I could only lie on my back at night -- could barely turn my head -- for about 3 days.
I know it's not like that for most people but I would never pierce a babies ears.
