Plus that ASAP does not recommend it unless there is medical need, which is very rare. I will trust the American Academy of Pediatrics.
We discussed it when I was pregnant, in case we had a boy, but ours turned out a girl, so I didn't have to have that fight with my husband. Ironically, he agrees it is wrong to pierce a baby girls ears, we never subjected our daughter to that. Even braces only when medically necessary, not for looks. She can make appearance choices for herself when she is older.
I'm grateful they didn't feel they needed to ask whether you wanted to leave her devil's doorbell intact.
