Kylie Jenner Is Criticized for Piercing Her Daughter’s Ears

Piercing a baby’s ears has always sparked debate, with people divided on its safety and ethics. While some see it as a harmless tradition or a personal choice, others worry about consent, health risks, and the child’s autonomy. The controversy flared up when celebrity influencer Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her daughter, Stormi Webster, with pierced ears. This picture led to widespread discussion and criticism, once again bringing attention to the ongoing debate about piercing babies’ ears.

Lots of babies around the world get their ears pierced, but it’s the earlobes of famous babies that get people talking online about whether it’s safe for little ones to wear jewelry. When her daughter Stormi Webster was five months old, Kylie shared a picture of her lying on a bed in a softly lit pink room. Followers noticed the tiny studs in Stormi’s ears, which were barely visible but still caught their attention.

Jenner is used to social media controversies, but the criticism about her young daughter and parenting skills is particularly harsh this time. Some strongly argue against piercing a baby’s ears, while others call Jenner “cruel” and “thoughtless.” “Is she going to start putting big earrings in her [ears] now [they’re] pierced? A [baby’s] ear is still forming and growing at that age,” one user wrote. “Piercing a babies ears!!!! @kyliejenner be ashamed of yourself. This is utterly disgraceful,” another follower commented.

Although getting a baby’s ears pierced is usually seen as safe, doctors warn about the risk of infections. Some suggest waiting until your baby is around 4 months old. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics doesn’t have a clear rule on when it’s best to pierce ears. They recommend waiting until a child can take care of the piercing themselves, but they don’t say no to piercing babies.

Kylie Jenner and her former partner Travis Scott gained notice for their unique parenting style. Travis revealed that they give their toddler Stormi a lot of independence. He mentioned they let Stormi choose her bedtime, deciding whether she wants to sleep at the usual time or stay up later. Stormi consistently chooses bedtime, which surprises many parents who appreciate her commitment to a good sleep routine.

Some parents think piercing their baby’s ears heals faster when they’re young. Others believe it’s important to respect their child’s autonomy and find piercing without consent unethical. Although tiny earrings might look cute, they can be dangerous for babies, causing injuries during play or even choking hazards.

10+ People Who’d Really Like to Restart Their Unfortunate Day

Statistics show that people who believe in bad luck will have more accidents on Friday the 13th. Our brains also seem to only hold onto the ill-fated times — like when we drop an egg on the floor, that memory will stay with us for quite some time, even if we successfully didn’t drop it hundreds of times.

Shared sorrow is half a sorrow, and on this note, Bright Side found 17 people who would like to push the “undo” button on their terrible day.

1. “This tree fell and pulled the whole lawn up with it.”

2. “My friend’s car was squished by a tree earlier today after some high winds.”

3. “Started a new job and was told they recycle their earplugs at the end of every shift. I think I’ll just go buy my own.”

4. “I dropped my deep fat fryer on my wooden floor.”

5. “We had a huge storm the other day, and this happened to my friend.”

6. “The watermelon I grew”

7. “That’s my luggage, and it’s not on the plane.”

8. “I have a shy bladder and walked into my worst nightmare.”

9. “The one time I decided to drive instead of ride my bike, this happened halfway to work.”

10. “All I wanted was to make myself some orange juice.”

11. “How my friend’s Friday the 13th started out”

12. “I’ve seen it happen in movies but never dreamed I would see it in real life.”

13. “Just so you know, a 10-foot pipe does not fit in a Toyota RAV4.”

14. “Ate a huge bag of trail mix for about 1 month. Got to the bottom and found 3 rusty screws.”

15. “If you were a cat, there’s a 9/10 chance you’d be named ’Socks.’”

16. “My bedroom ceiling collapsed.”

17. “Tenants called today to tell me the toilet wouldn’t flush, the plumber turned up to this.”
