    nipple piercings and breast feeding

    I was told that if you have your nipples pierced you cannot breastfeed.

    I've only had one pierced just in case this was true - but I'd love it if anyone could verify this information wrong - anyone who's had their nipples pierced before having kids, if you know anyone, whatever!

    I really want my other one done but I'd like to verify the facts first!

    I used to be on a couple of punk parenting lists and some of the mums there breast fed and had piercings. Obviously you have to take the piercings out before feeding as there is a choking risk to the baby otherwise. None of them had problems, but I guess some may. Have you checked bmezine.com they're usually great for information.

    Only problem I had was milk shooting out and hitting my daughter in the face haha other than that, just take 'em out and wash your nips before feeding

    I had mine pierced and they caused major issues with breastfeeding. I had many different factors that contributed to not being able to BF. Anyway, I got an infection related to the piercings. I took the jewelry out when I was three mths preggo. The holes never closed up fully, allowing the milk to sit and go bad. I was put on antibiotics and that sh*t hurt. I tried to pump as much as I could but it just got too painful and I had to quit. You might not have any problems though; just sharing my experience. Make sure you not only wash around your nipple but try to get into the piercing holes, too! Good luck,
