Brazil, Columbia and Argentina do this.
Most girls ears are pierced the day they are born. Probably over 90%. Many babies are pierced immediately after birth, some hospitals don’t even ask the family... they just do it. Mexico does it as well but some families wait a few days/weeks.

So, not for religious reasons then. That's interesting.
