People have been left divided after seeing parents on social media get their daughter's ears pierced when she was just a baby.
Now, parenting is one of the world's most difficult tasks but even despite most of it being trial and error, it seems as though different parenting styles can elicit different reactions from people, with many expressing their love/hate for tips shared online.
One woman got a mixed reaction after she decided to post a "controversial" video of her child on TikTok.
Taking to the video-sharing platform, user @Queennn.cee has caused quite a stir amongst her followers after she posted a video of her two-month-old getting her ears pierced.
Her partner, the baby's father, was sitting cradling the child as a woman used a piercing gun to get the earrings into the baby's ears.
As the gun pierces into her lobe, she cringes at the pain and immediately starts crying.
Her father tries to calm her down as he turns her so the woman at the store can do the other ear as quickly as possible.
The baby continues to cry as the text overlay reads: "Worth the pain my little Queen."
Have a look at the "controversial" video below:The clip, which has been viewed over 720,000 times, has racked up thousands of comments, with some people supporting the decision, and others slamming it.
"That is so so messed up to do that to a little newborn baby," wrote one user, while another added: "Too young to do that!"
A third also questioned why it was so important to do that to a baby while one user described it as "cruel."
However, others jumped in to defend the move.
"Yall actin like its giving her fatal injuries, babies cry all the time, as long as its not constantly hurting her, I see no problem," this user stated.
"It's better for the child to just get over it quickly," added another.
And this TikToker recalled their own experiences, writing: "I got my ears pierced at 2 months, best decision my mother made because I'm terrified of any kind of needle and likely never getting another piercing."
Another added: "everyone saying 'too young' she ain't gonna remember this in like 2 hours."
However, the user stayed unbothered about the hate and continued to live her life without addressing the backlash.
What do you think? Would you consider doing this?
