Breastfeeding/Pierced Nipples?

Question

I have had my nipples done for a while. I'm 9 +3 and I've decided I will be breastfeeding. Anyone else have any advice or experiences??

Answer

I have one nipple pierced, and I removed it to breast feed my first child. I later had it repierced and the pain was unbelievable. You can buy guards or remove for feeding, therefore taking away any chance of contamination. Always sterilise any piercing before popping it back in, and sterilise any guard after each feed if you choose to use a guard. You can also buy lovely plastic bars if you don't want metal in your body while you are pregnant. Good luck with whatever you choose to do :) x

Answer

I had my nipples pierced for eight years before I had my baby girl and I breastfed her easily. Due to the piercing holes the milk came out a lot easier lol lucky me. Good luck

Answer

Idk why you wouldn't take them out .. Seems weird .. I've had my belly button pierced since I was 15 and I took it out as soon as I found out I was pregnant . Not worth having a foreign metal were my baby is trying to grow .. Plus I don't want one of those disgusting over stretched holes that other girls have cus they didn't wanna lose their piercing even though it looks like crap now. You can always have it redone later IF it closes I've had my ring out 8 weeks and it still goes in just as easy as ever

Answer

If you are going to breast feed I would take your nipple piercings out. It's a little painful to breast feed and GOd forbid if your piercing becomes lose while the baby is feeding it can choke. I had my belly pierced when I was pregnant with my first baby and I took it out because your body totally transforms and of course my belly got big so I didn't want the whole to stretch. Good luck with you desion!!

Answer

I would try to talk to your doctor about it. Or even better yet, a lactation specialist. Good luck to you!!

Answer

Maybe you could take them out & see how it goes after delivery..

Answer

My cousin wasn't able to breast feed her baby girl. The piercing affected her ducts :-/
