Online commenters are up in arms after glamour model Coco Austin shared a photo of her gorgeous two-month-old baby, who has had her ears pierced.

“Portrait of a happy baby!” she captioned the photo on her new Twitter account. “Guess who got their ears pierced today…”

Despite the holes in her two-month-old earlobes, Chanel is obviously a smiley baby!

The baby appeared unscathed by her brush with the piercing guns and smiled happily for her mum as she took the photo, which was also shared on Chanel’s very own Instagram account, which has already accrued more than 32,000 followers.

Little Chanel, who was born late November, is too cute for words in her all-white ensemble and diamante headband.

But it’s the sparklers on her ears that made fans do a double take.

“Gross thing to do to a baby, it looks ridiculous,” commented one Daily Mail reader. “As for the parents, well, words fail me.”

“Punching holes in your baby’s skin without consent? Classy,” wrote another.

However some readers attempted to hush the fuss.

One commenter wrote, “I haven’t yet met any little girl who hates her ears pierced. The baby looks beyond cute, very girly with her headband and pretty lace onesie.”
