Having a baby's ears pierced is actually very common in the Asian countries. All the girls in my family had our ears pierced when we were infants. It is a sort of tradition; a part of our culture.

[@liz2880]

Akhum Longchar most Latinos too. I didn’t have a problem with having pierced ears... idk who would unless they did the piercings wrong

[@snjvnijoshi7144]

Yeah indian

[@a6_baiqfitrihandayani837]

In my country, indonesia too

[@irdixstrife]

Its official now, adrian is my spirit animal

[@Matimoza]

lol

[@allyoursunflowers7913]

Getting a child’s ear pierced at a young age is a tradition in most South Asian countries. Ok many of you may be concerned about her but she’s fine. They are her parents they know what they’re doing. And she can always get them removed when she’s older. When I got my ears pierced I was quite young and so when I was older I didn’t have to spend hours thinking about how painful it would be. Please respect cultures and get your facts straight before criticising.

[@pde12660]

Awe! Aila's so cute with her earrings.People should know how to value and respect others culture.If its not acceptable to others to pierced babies that early, then its fine but it is also common/normal to Filipinos to pierced thier children as early as Aila's age.Don't know why its a big deal?Its like eating rice in every meal is common to Filipinos, It won't be called distinct filipino/asian culture if it like that in other cultures.Besides they are her parents they know whats best for her.

[@ayvidyan]

To other people talking about the ear piercing I guess I could associate it to being part of Filipino culture, cause almost every baby girls here have ear piercing at a very young age and I believe there is no big deal even when we grew up it's just a normal thing . To be honest, I am actually glad my mom had my ears pierced when I am little cause I don't think I can endure it now and I love wearing earings if she had not done that idk if I can wear earings even if I want to. Please don't judge them immediately. :)

[@PamRances]

Can we get more likes for this comment? Every Filipino knows!

[@XxBossXxTam]

Ben Gas oh yes parents deciding to pierce their children ears is the reason why they are soooooooo behind....Jesus do yall literally listen to yall self when yall talk? I personally can't speak for these people because I'm like the typical southern usa person, but here we do the same thing. Most parents decided to give their daughters or sons earrings at a young age. I got mines done when I was a baby and so did my sister. Personally I don't think I would do this to my future childrem but this has nothing to do with economy and being political correct, it's a tradition. That's it.

[@aderunome]

Happened in Indonesia too.

[@ayvidyan]

XxTamaraXx Thank you for being open minded. The reason why people are so divided nowadays because we lack respect. I don't demand others to understand why they did it but all I'm asking is Respect for the culture and not judge the parents because it feels like they are judging other Filipino parents too. Again Thanks!

[@ApRiL3706]

Sydney Dianne A lot of Latinos also get their baby girl's pierced at a young age too. My mom did it when I was very young. And you have to wash with a disinfectant every so often to prevent infection.

[@hotjamme]

It's a norm even in the Caribbean too. It's really not serious, I was actually even shocked when I came to comments to see that it's even a topic worth discussing.

[@estheroduwole4439]

SarahBev how about you open yours?

[@estheroduwole4439]

SarahBev I had my ears pierced when I was a month old. a lot of babies do where I'm from in Africa and all of us don't remember it or pain. I don't wear earring by choice except for special occasions and I do like the freedom of just putting one in whenever I want one

[@estheroduwole4439]

SarahBev if given the auction today I would say no because I have a extremely low pain tolerance so I'm actually kind of glad that my parents took out the decision out of my hands because now I have the freedom to decide whether or not I want to wear earrings and if I do I don't have to go by the special magnetic ones or go for the pain festivals that is piercing my ears

[@estheroduwole4439]

SarahBev so we can agree that different people have different opinions to having their ears pierced therefore you cannot just rule it out as WRONG

[@estheroduwole4439]

SarahBev you've had people with negative responses to getting their ears pierced I've had people with positive responses therefore the decision should be left in the hands of the parents

[@Nestle.Snipes]

4:24 "I thought I could trust you. I'd plot my revenge, but I probably won't remember this anyway."

[@aubreyemelia]

jeez yall these comments are so self centred and closed minded, piercing babys' ears are completely normal in asian culture its really not that deep calm down ((also the adrian montage is the best piece of content in this channel hands down lmao))

[@aubreyemelia]

SarahBev LMAOO if the baby grows up and doesnt like it they can just take it out and the hole will close up soon enough its rlly not that big of a deal but stay pressed i guess

[@popomillan8659]

It is a Filipino thing to have their kids pierced. You dont have to understand everything people. Theyre not committing a crime so chill

[@popomillan8659]

Omg do you even know what assault is. If you honestly believe it is, then file a case. I wonder if anyone would dare to do so. Good luck with your case.

[@krisday5317]

Can people please understand that piercing a baby girls' ears is very normal in asian culture. I actually thought at one point that girls get born with their ears already pierced 😂😂 After piercing the little girl would get a pair of earrings that she would keep for as long as she can. I lost one of my pair but I still have the other one. The earring would also be given by the mother or grandmother.

[@lowkey_babe77]

That montage of Adrian was just the best, his personality is unmatched😂😂😂

[@poomkin759]

I also got my ears pierced at 2 months at I actually thank my parents for that because I could have been more worst that that if I did it now so April don’t mind the haters

[@jessicaharrell3829]

I got my ears done when I was maybe a month old so definitely don't see any issues with it I don't even remember the pain

[@misslilangelx3]

Same and I'm hispanic, everyone really needs to relax.

[@jessicaharrell3829]

cannoli right!!!!

[@Shaycey78]

She's so precious 😍 her first earrings, it's a special moment in many cultures.

[@alessandramon8452]

In my country our parents also pierce our ears when we are babies. no big deal. No one I know grew up traumatized because of it so far hahaha

[@9manny99]

Arcadegames My ear's are pierced. They've been since I was 10 and I forget about it all the time. My sister got hers at 0-3(Don't remember) Are you telling me a child is going to deeply question their life subconsciously about a tiny hole in their ears about a time they don't remember. Do you have any stories?

[@xValerieWTF]

People making comments about how wrong it is to pierce this baby girl's ears (too young, not her choice, etc) and yet baby boys get circumcised in the US regularly for NO medical reason and no one bats an eyelash. Lol hypocrites 😂

[@dphantastic]

My parents had my ears pierced when I was Aila's age. Im actually fine that they decided for me and I looked hella cute in my baby pictures. Hope you dont let the comments get to you! If she doesnt like them, she can take the earrings out. :) love your vlogs

[@1789Henrique]

There's always pressure earrings wich don't hurt the babies. I just don't understand why hurt a baby just for aesthetical reasons.

[@ginaleonhardt5394]

but if she don't like them you can always see the holes in her ears

[@ShinJBean]

d phan yes. i hope they dont have to do an apology video because of the narrow minded people. Different culture different tradition. People act like she suffered from huge pain or got beaten..

[@emhuff1989]

Take them out, but stuck with holes in her ears? Some never close and I don’t see the problem with letting THEM decide. It’s their body!

[@ShinJBean]

Gina Leonhardt huuuge, right?

[@AdrianaCruz6618]

That Adrian compilation was EVERYTHING!! ❤️😂

[@paachubaby]

I just want an ADRIAN..oh ma God how can he be such a cute monster😘😘😘

[@maramma4780]

My older sister got her ears pierced when she was 8 and ended up puking in the store while in tears piercing a baby's ears young is better they don't remember the pain and are easier to soothe

[@maramma4780]

and i know yall see how calm and relaxed the baby in the literal next clip

[@yamsanjuan1485]

CHILL OUT GUYS! They're Filipinos. It's become a culture in the Philippines to get their daughter's ear pierced while they're young and use their birthstones as their earrings' gemstone. My parents even did that to me, and truthfully, I can't even remember the pain anymore because I was a child then. It's actually better cause the kids won't even remember the pain. Cry now or cry later, they'll cry anyways.

[@alaskawinter]

Guys chill lol im a filipino and i also got my ears pierced when i was a baby dont know why tho. My girl friends had them too. My brother got his ears pierced when he was on the early 20s and daaang the skin is drying and peeling lol i never experienced that and my ears were fine and healthy

[@girwithecurlsss4487]

Just for the information of you non-Filipinos, it is actually our common practice to pierce girls’ ears at a very young age. I got mine when I was a baby too and I turned out fine. No harm done. 🙄 What happened to being open to and respecting other people’s culture and traditions??? 🤔

[@alexanderbieringer4627]

girwithe curlsss thank you for that information. Really.

[@Renaeissance]

I mean yeah tradition is ok but why not wait until they're 8 or something? They could handle the pain more then and especially if it becomes infected. Also I feel like the child should make their own decisions. Once again, I understand the culture but I don't like it. .-.

[@alexanderbieringer4627]

Renae M. Yea think the same

[@Melissa0711100]

1. Piercing a baby’s ears is considerably less painful than piercing a grown child’s (cartilage in the earlobe fully developed, harder to puncture, plus the child is completely aware of the situation and may move or shake and therefore actually hurt themselves) 2. It’s way easier to prevent an infection on a baby (who is constantly supervised and clean) than on a child that will be constantly touching or removing the piercing

[@theresafushiguro3107]

We should understand them (Non-filipinos and others who don't like it) for not liking them. I am filipino and I don't know about that culture or something like that... And I also don't like it too... But I Respect the decisions of the parents as long as it doesn't harm their kids.

[@rottentomato1748]

Well yes, it IS part of many Asian cultures, I had my ears pierced too when I was less than a year old. Yall think we doing this just for culture. But the real reason is that when you are that young, your skin is still very soft there and hence it hurts a lot less. Science!! Plus, you probably won't even remember the pain. And the best part is - you look hella cute in all your baby pictures. So what's the big fuss?? It looks like a win-win situation to me :)

[@xandrav]

reading through the comments and agreeing with all the "it's common practice" comments but am i the only one who hasn't seen anyone complaining?

[@genaunabia1218]

Maybe the editor deleted all the nega vibes. 😊

[@aroobamaqsood9985]

Omg yes 😂😂😂😂

[@mariaegold4003]

Hello! We Filipinos have our ears pierced (for females at least) as early as Aila, some even earlier :) It’s common practice and it pretty much saved me from remembering the pain if I had gotten it later in life. It’s really harmless as long as the parents keep the area clean. And if the child ends up not wanting the piercing they can stop wearing earrings and it’ll eventually close up (based on experience).

[@jenniferlee4920]

same, i pierced my ears when i was the same age as Aila and when i got older (around 2 years old), my ears suddenly got swollen up (my parents say it's because the ear piercer was dirty) and my parents decided to take my earrings off. so now i'm 13 and i still don't wear earrings and the hole closed up, but someday, i will probably get my ears pierced again :))

[@trix7073]

people have no chill, im asian and its so common in my country jeez

[@leeyeeling5246]

There are a lot of things done in western countries that aren't really accepted in asian countries, so vice versa, there are things that exist in asian culture that isn't going to be accepted by westerners! I've had my ears pierced when I was a baby, and I'm actually grateful for it because I don't have to go through and remember the pain if I got them pierced when I was older. We do things differently, and it is perfectly alright for babies to get their ears pierced, so everyone, please, just calm down.

[@elliotxrelia]

Guys, in the Philippines it is normal that children get their piercings in a very young age. me and my cousins had our piercings when we were still babies. i have alot of baby relatives that are getting/already have piercings. it is normal for us filipinos, it is sort of a tradition/culture.

[@gemadiniahsetra962]

Wow, wait it just my country that have tradition to get ear piercing since baby? Because it's common here, in my country, to have ear piercing since baby

[@liz2880]

Emma Setra in Mexico it’s common too and lots of other places.

[@renayjackson9075]

Emma Setra mine too

[@innocentgal871]

Yeah its common in my country too

[@dremy101]

It's normal in the Caribbean too

[@9manny99]

SarahBev Same thing different magnitudes. It's been studied that foreskin removal affects sexual pleasure in adults and can mutilate a child. A ear piercing is temporary but has a chance of infection.

[@mariellecamacho1107]

It’s part of the Filipino Culture. Boys here get circumcised. Girls got to have their ears pierced at a very young age. Stop telling other people what not to do just because you’re not familiar with it. You’re being ethnocentric. It’s not really a big deal anyway. Someone even commented that they were exploiting Aila’s pain for money, like seriously people? Haven’t you watched the videos of them like I did? My mom FORGOT to have my sister’s ears pierced as a child and now she always complain about it because she’s 18 and she wants to wear earrings but she’s too scared to get her ears pierced.

[@likklespoon]

Getting ear piercing done at such a young age is not only common in the Filipino culture but elsewhere too(other parts of Asia and Central America). Less hate guys, thats the glimpse of their cultural identity. Side note: aila is a cute baby :)

[@bbbby2579]

I had my ears pierced when I was a baby too, and i'm thankful to my parents for that 'cause honestly I don't remember the pain just the fact that I can wear beautiful earings without going through the pain of piercing.

[@muniebalkyz7376]

Piercing at that age heals in 2-3 days so chill guys

[@reeselycan1038]

Awwww!!!❤️

[@athin7155]

Not only in the Philippines, it's honestly common everywhere in Asia.. Honestly though I feel like it is better to do so at this age, you don't remember the pain, and if you don't like it when you grow up then well you can just wait for the hole to heal and get covered, which is what people normally do. This is a common practice and tradition for a few races don't condemn these two.. And from deep within my heart I thank my parents so much for doing this when I was very young bc really, I don't think I have the courage to do it at my age now.

[@deeksha3734]

adrian is sooooo cute!!😍😚

[@JacobFlex]

My mom didn’t let me get mine pierced until I was 7. I haven’t had them for long, but love them! 😊

[@gochiberry]

I got my ears pierced when I was Aila's age since this is also normal for Vietnamese culture. I don't see this as a problem. The main reason they do it at that age is because it supposedly hurts less than when you get your ears pierced when you're older. Also I'm really glad I had them at that age; my baby pictures look great and I ALWAYS wore earrings up until this age (I'm 21 now). Please don't get so self righteous or offended by this as not all cultures are the same.

[@mili1salma543]

Austin is such a cutie..

[@lionelmora6346]

c'mon peeps. i understand everyone has their opinions, but please stop being so sensitive. they are just ear rings.. didn't thumper from Bambi teach you anything? if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. hahahaha..I think this family is a beautiful unit. I enjoy watching them, and obviously you do too, so take a step back and think about it. its not that serious. u should be praising this FAM for allowing you into their lives, not critiquing the choice about piercing their baby girls ears. but I guess that's my opinion.. big ups on the DJ skills. I would love to see u guys teaching the boys how to mix it up on the ones and two's! much love FAM....hope everyone has an amazing day.

[@phuongmai2199]

Same thing happened to my cousins and sister. IM SO GLAD MY PARENTS DID THIS TO ME AT A YOUNG AGE CAUSE I PROBABLY CANT HANDLE THE PAIN NOW.

[@thirtysixzed]

Americans are so sensitive. Ear piercings are not a big deal.

[@ApRiL3706]

I don't understand what the big deal is. I'm Latina and it is common in my culture to pierce the girl's ears at a young age. Not once have I heard someone express being traumatized by it or complain of it being done as a baby. Just because it is not done in your culture, doesn't mean it is always wrong.

[@TheAvd89]

At the end, was awesome!! You got a cool dad Austin!

[@itstiena]

Love Adrian moments compilationnn😍

[@DC-iw5yh]

the adrian montage is the best thing ever

[@mbarlykhumalo3667]

The Adrian compilation is the best! 😂💖

[@nataleesteele1688]

Awww Ailah looks great! I love the Adrian montage lol. Your husband sound good DJ.

[@sarglz]

I don't get why its such a big deal, its not illegal and this has been going on for over hundreds of years. There has really been no hard evidence that ear piercing is life threatening. Isn't it so bothersome that here they are sharing a glimpse of their culture to the world and people suddenly say or make them feel that their traditions are wrong? How would that make you feel if it were your customs or traditions that were being criticised in such a way? It's totally okay to disagree, but to say that what they are doing is wrong, disgusting, or barbaric (when there really is no lasting damage and it was done in a clean and safe environment) is also wrong. In any case, Aila can opt to have the piercing to close naturally when she grows up if she doesn't want it anymore, all she needs to do is stop wearing earrings. It's not like the pain she felt getting her ears pierced is gonna mentally scar her for life AND if we're talking about Aila's choice on whether or not to get her ear pierced is being taken away, I've had a lot of friends whose parents did not pierce their ears when they were babies and wished that it had been done back then. So please stop the judgment, Aila's parents know what's best for her and millions of people in our country (literally) as well as other people from countries who apparently also have the same tradition, know that getting your baby's ears pierced is not a big deal.✌🏼

[@rachali1726]

Those Adrian clips were amazing😂😂

[@nejaikfc7139]

[@yttiger6181]

Such a great family, i love you sooo much

[@jojoje27]

I think south east asians culture do this and for me it's better for the child because i didn't even remember the pain when i grow up. Plus, it's cute so stop with the hate comments.

[@adinasaqib1181]

Its ok to get your ears pierced early i got my ears at early age . I dont understand why are u guys making it a big issue 😒

[@rawa-Ela]

All the people that think she's doing something wrong, think again. This is a normal thing in asian house holds and north African. I got my ears pierced as a baby it's not a big deal. It's a big deal for white people only; to us it's status cue. Baby Aila is super cute btw.

[@hunter8i8]

That PDP showing strong today. My sister got hers around that time too.

[@krystalperez842]

lol ppl are acting like they cut the whole ear off😂💀

[@laughii15]

This is a Hispanic and Filipino tradition. I had a ears pierced too as a little girl and I'm fine. If she doesn't like them when she's older, she can let the piercing close. Just respect the parents decision!

[@lazyb3e]

That "I hate you" face is so cute XD 4:24

[@sadaf1]

Aila looks soo cute with her earrings... good choice to get it done early... my mom..me.. my sisters and their girls we all got it around the same age as well. i dont get why everyone is freaking out its not so uncommon.

[@nelaepowt]

Sure it's painful for the child, but it's better doing it early on so they won't remember the pain. Some people need to understand that this is tradition. Consented or not, the little guy can just choose to wear or not wear earrings in the future. Geez. I don't get why everyone's so sensitive just because it doesn't happen often in their country or culture.

[@JC-pp5qz]

It's a common thing for us Filipinos! Jeez. Chill guys!!

[@6891x]

It might be common but it's not right.

[@alexiso684]

To all of you freaking out over a baby getting her ears pierced, relax. It’s not like it’s torture, it hurts for like 10 seconds maybe. It’s the kind of decision the parents need to make. Not all of you critics online.

[@lavyrinthco]

To everyone who is doubting this action of getting a baby's ears pierced, it's completely okay. It's not illegal\violating any laws so there is NO reason to make such a fuss. In Philippines it's very common for parents to bring their babies to get their ears pierced and it's easier to maintain and keep clean on a baby than on an eight year old. It's NOT child abuse or assault! You all need to chill. Edit: Once the child gets older, it's their decision if they want to wear earrings or not. I personally don't wear earring on a daily basis but I do when I want to. At least now I have the freedom of choosing when I want to wear earrings instead of having to go through the pain of getting them pierced at an older age.

[@Erizosonicoflipflop]

It's normal in Spain too. I have my ears pierced since my second day of life. A nurse made the holes in the hospital. I enjoyed my earrings in my childhood, and I love them now. For sure, I will do it to my babies in the future.

[@bizzle6936]

I got my ears pierced when I was about her age too. It’s not because of any culture in my case. It’s just that my parents thought it would be a good idea to do it at a young age to avoid me from remembering the pain.

[@leighnemicah]

[@Darkmausi]

Thank you, not for the video, I can't watch it because for me it's horror seeing a baby cry (and if I can avoid it I always will) BUT for all the comments and all the explanations. That's why I love HiHo and CUT, it brings people together. There is no need for me to agree but I have to except that it's not my decision and it is part of the world, a part I just did not know by now. I got my ears pierced when I was 11, the holes are odd and I don't like wearing anything in it but this is my very own experience, like everyone has individuell experiences. So, again, thank you. LOTS OF LOVE :) (sry for spelling and grammar mistakes, English is not my mothertongue)

How cute..😍😊

[@banana2671]

5:45 precious moment❤

[@ellelee5471]

To those wondering why the baby had to go through piercing already, you gotta consider the "cultural" aspect of things, right? It may be uncommon to do so in other countries/continents but it's pretty common here in Asia to have the ears pierced at a young age. It's so common that it becomes kind of like a tradition. P.S. you may or may not know but Austin's Dad is a Filipino....and oh, the mom is too!

[@TheKronos127]

Lee Rae Yoo both parents are Filipino.

[@ellelee5471]

TheKronos127 Oh wow didn't know she's Filipina. That's great. Thanks! 👍

[@kreideprinz3397]

Omg can you guys chill?! C'mon they're Filipinos like me. In our country, almost all of these baby girls already had pierced on their ears. Which is now so normal to us. Getting a child's ears pierced is no big deal, and please don't judge them quickly. It's our tradition, fyi.

[@Govind-tc1lw]

I love Austin..... Just love him..... Wish to meet him in future ( if possible)

the adrian montage hahahahaha

did you guys literally just click on this video so that you can criticize their decision in piercing their daughter's ears.

[@AM-hz1bu]

Wtg Lil Princess Aila handled that like i did and i was 14 when i got my ear pierced jajaja. so awesome and more lil monster and Cool Austin, they all Rock!! :)

it's just a ear piercing, chill. the child won't even remember the pain

[@mm-gz3hq]

ohno nasty I guess it's the same with circumcision

I got my ears pierced when I was less than a week old, done at some lady's house with a needle and thread in the heart of Manila. I lived, Aila lived, millions of Filipinas did too.

Ok! I think you guys should have your own channel now! I’m enjoying your vlogs way too much!

[@maicydizon5373]

As someone who works in an environment where we pierce people’s ears, I can definitely say that there are many pros and cons to both sides, and it ultimately comes down to the parent’s preference. Parents who decide to let their children choose when they are ready to get their ears pierced give their kids something memorable to look back on. It also teaches their kids responsibility as keeping the ears clean and free from infection is something that has to be done diligently for the first few months. Majority of children I’ve pierced leave either feeling giddy and proud from the adrenaline rush or in an absolute sobbing mess. You can’t predict how your child will react so it’s a choice on both the parent and the child’s part to decide when they are ready and if they feel the child is capable of keeping the earrings in and the area clean. On the flip side, many many parents still get their babies ears pierced - regardless of culture. Parents who come from families who don’t have this tradition often refer back to when they got their ears pierced as an older child and mention things like how traumatizing it was to get it done or having to deal with an infection or closed hole. You also have to consider that babies are not fully developed at this stage in their lives, and as a result the nerves in their ears aren’t either. This means that yes, they still will experience some pain at this stage, but it won’t be anything near as painful as getting them done when they’re older. Another benefit to this is knowing that the risk of infection is virtually 100% up to the parents. When you get your baby’s ears pierced you as the parents take on the responsibility of keeping the ear area sanitary for the next few months, in comparison to letting a 8 or 9 year old remember to clean their ears for three months to teach them responsibility. As a fellow Filipino, I was personally grateful my mom had mine done for me as a baby, and it’s a common practice in my family. I definitely can’t fault both parties for their decisions and I hope this helps educate people a little more on ear piercings ✌🏼.

It's great that they got Aila's ears pierced when she's still a baby! But It's just a little harder for the piercer to work with such a little ear. Lol
