  1. it shouldn't be a problem. just make sure you keep the area clean and take out the bar before feeding and you should be fine.  


  2. I had mine done and I actually toke mine out while I was in labor. The nurse told me that it doesn't affect the glands that produce the milk at all. I  have a 12 week old and I actually produce more milk on that one!

  3. Nope. I had one of y nipples pierced and I am currently breastfeeding. That one does "leak" a bit one out the hole from the piercing, which is sort of strange but the baby eats just fine.

  4. absolutely not true!  I had both my nipples pierced and I had no problem feeding my baby. the only thing that did happen was that my milk came out through the piercings, but that was just funny lol

  5. It wont cause any problems at all and it will look great. My wife had no problems.

    I think you are a little mixed up. Society does not need any more low life abusive, narrow minded, small brained, uptight know alls like you. Why not do us all a favour and get yourself sterilised, or better still go kill yourself to save society from your lunatic abusive ravings based in a complete lack of torrence and basic understanding. Jerk!

  6. No you will be able to breastfeed but it is recommended that you wait 9 months to a year before you breastfeed so if you are pregnant it may be better to wait

  7. NOPE i have mine pierced since i was 15 (im 22 now) had two kid breastfed em both the only differecne is there are extra holes for milk to come out of. more holes+more milk= one happy baby lol

  8. Call the doc see what they say

  9. absolutley not true!  I had mine done both horizontal and vertically (not at the same time) and am breastfeeding!

  10. False.

  11. I have never heard of it being a problem. Just take out the bar or ring before the baby eats.

  12. No! You should still be able to breastfeed. You just have a few extra holes in your nipples is all.
