Question:
Dear Expert, I want to have my nipples pierced but I`m afraid that if I do it will interfere with breast feeding. This is a living urban legend and I would love a straight answer. Thanks so much!
Answer:
It is wonderful to hear from someone who is considering how her actions today may affect a baby she has in the future! I hope you find this straight answer helpful.
Although it is not recommended that a woman have her nipples pierced during pregnancy or lactation, if piercing was done and the site has healed well, there is no reason not to breastfeed. In fact women have done just that in different cultures for centuries. Mothers with pierced nipples suggest removing nipple rings or any jewelry inserted through the piercing during breastfeedings. Some mothers remove it for the first weeks or months; others remove it only for individual feedings. There are mothers who breastfeed with nipple rings in place, but there are babies that have swallowed rings when feeding. Other types of nipple jewelry, such as beads may create a greater hazard, so those definitely should be removed during feedings. For more detailed information, you can go to La Leche League International`s web site and search the term "nipple piercing." All the best!

I think that would be a very bad idea, I've heard from a lot of people that it makes breast feeding complicated, don't do it... just think of the scar tissue, and then you'd ahve to feed on only one boob, and that can get pretty sore

Yes she could, when someone gets a pierce done it's only superficial tissue, nothing to do with the actual functioning of the breats.

Wow, I've never thought of that. I have no idea? Let me ask one of the doc's........ he said there shouldn't be any problems with breastfeeding post-nipple pierce. But he said if you have a tongue ring, take it out because they are finding it lets a germ into your system that is likely to give your baby heart problems.

Ask your doctor abou this one. At the hospital there will be a lactation nurse who will come and talk with youo and give you pointers if you want to breast-feed. She will be able to help you with this also.

See...just another reason not to get a piercing :) I don't really know what to answer since I don't have or know anyone with pierced nipples.
