anybody has/had nipple piercings and tried to breastfeed/pump?I know it can't be safe to…

I had my nipples pierced twice, and I'm beat feeding, you will just get some milk out of the holes and the lactation consultant told me you have to remember there is scar tissue too. But I've had them pierced. I hope this isn't why I'm having these problems but my daughter is getting enough to eat.

so u think its best to take them out? @camillesmom

I would say so cause breast feeding, I wouldn't want that in my kids mouth and pumping, from how hard the suction is I wouldn't want it to pull that hard, that's my thought though, I had them out before I got pennant cause my husband didn't like it but to be safe I would, or ask the Dr or lactation consultant

thanks for the advice?

@camillesmom,

No problem hope you figure something out, why the ? though lol

Umm if u keep the piercings in it will be unhygienic whether u feed her from the nipple or pump. Seriously consider formula if you're not willing to let go of your piercings

@camillesmom, accident.lol

@alhynele, I'm willing to let them go..just wanted to be sure i had to..i knew breastfeeding wouldn't be safe I didn't know about pumping..

Yeah neither would be safe. You risk giving your baby an infection. How many weeks are u? You'll probably have plenty of time to remove them and allow for them to close a little.

Oh ok well I do no mine have been out for probably a year and a half and I get milk out the holes and they closed up quote a bit like I can't get a ring through them

@alhynele, 13weeks
