Nipple Piercings and Breast Feeding
Was just wondering if getting your nipples pierced can mess with your capability of lactating

Re: Nipple Piercings and Breast Feeding
Nipple piercings won't interfere with your ability to produce milk, but the jewellery needs to be removed during nursing. Other than that, it shouldn't be a problem, although if it's a piercing you're considering, you can ask a piercer about it too.
