New born nearly loses ear as mom pierces it at one week old

A mom is on the receiving end of backlash from social media users as her new born daughter nearly loses her ears after it was pierced a week after birth.

The image was shared to the microblogging platform X, by user, @Jayclipstv, who lamented the state of the baby’s ears.

According to him, the mother had pierced the baby’s ears one week after she was born and that was the unfortunate result.

The baby had a little part of her ear lobe cut off as a result of the growing infection from the piercing injury.

@nashababi opined: “There’s nothing wrong w getting them done that early. She just wasn’t cleaning them and she should have. That’s the issue here…..”

@luvergirl88 reacted: “wtf. this has to be some form of child abuse”

@adeewunmi commented: “Ahhhhhhhh. I hope this girl will forgive her for destroying her ears”

@atlreignsfeet asked: “Why would the piercer pierce the babies ear at one week old. If the parents didn’t have sense enough to go through with this the person who did it should have informed them and turned them away”

@Vit0Genovese claimed: “This is caused by the mother not properly maintaining the piercing. You can tell by the residue on the earrings”

@MoneyshotX added: “First mistake not waiting until 3-4 months like most ppl second is after care. Some people shouldn’t be parents”
