When it comes to raising children, we all have our different beliefs.

Every parent wishes to see their child looking good, but how far is too far?

Should parents take their babies along to the salon and spa for beauty treatments?

A post has gone viral on social media showing a woman advertising manicure services for babies.

“I can do your babies’ nails. Kindly DM for info. Cheap rates,” reads the caption of the post.

The user, Nelliamo Maphanga-Koeberger, shared pictures showing a baby with a manicure.

Her post, which has over 100,000 shares, received mixed reaction from social media users.

Although the user admitted that the photos were photoshopped and she does not offer the services, her post sparked a debate.

Many users were divided as to whether it is acceptable for babies to get a manicure.

Some called the act abuse, while others argued that there is no harm done. 

"This is cute but a hell no . First off a 2-3 year old would poke themselves in the eyes wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom by themselves , etc . Aside from hurt other children not meaning to . Y'all need to let these baby's stay babys and stop trying to train them up," wrote one user. 

"Omg you're a genius. I can't wait to have a daughter. I know who I'm going to when she needs her nails done," another user wrote.
