Photos: Twitter erupts with criticisms on KimYe's decision on baby North West: READ

When Kim and Kanye took North to a children's museum in New York to celebrate her first birthday, eagle-eyed observers noted some glittering new diamonds in Nori's ears. Twitter erupted with criticism of Kimye's decision.
Some Twitter users noted that infants get their ears pierced in many cultures, but that didn't assuage another issue: That a 1-year-old is wearing diamond studs.
ONTD points out that Alec and Hilaria Baldwin faced similar criticism for sharing photos of their 10-month-old daughter Carmen with earrings earlier this year. Hilaria is from Mallorca, and "It's not unusual for Spanish families to have their daughters' ears pierced when they are still infants." Another fan supported Hilaria after she shared the photo below, commenting, "For Latin Americans/ Spaniards the norm is to get baby girls' ears pierced early. My sisters were done while still in the hospital in Montevideo, Uruguay."
A pediatrician tells Today.com that 8 is the ideal age at which to pierce a child's ears if he or she asks. By then, the child is old enough to take proper care of the new piercings. What do you think of the controversy over North's ears?

Kim Kardashian has pierced her one-year-old's ears? That's cruel AND tacky...

I try to stay away from convos on how people parent (without harm). This #northwest piercing saga is so annoying. Her mom has every right.

In my country Nigeria, it's not a biggie to pierce a baby girl's ears even at one week old! So when did you get yours pierced?
A quick one, why do some people like taking panadol extra for other people's headache? Kim & Uncle K have the right to do what they wish to their daughter as long as it's harmless don't y'all think?
Same panadol was taken for Jayonce in form of petition regarding their daughter, Blue Ivy's hair!!!
