Khloé Kardashian posted footage of her birthday celebrations on June 27, as the new mom marked turning 34 with her famous family, friends, and her infant daughter. In one video shared on Instagram Stories, the reality star cuddles up to daughter True, whose father is NBA star Tristan Thompson. Look closely, and you’ll see sparkly studs in the baby’s ears.

While True is far from the first infant to sport earrings, the baby bling has kicked off some criticism from those who say she’s too young to have pierced ears. Others suggested that it was a superficial move on Kardashian’s part.

The piercings appear to be new, as they aren’t visible in a photo Kardashian posted of her baby on June 13.
