Can I breastfeed with pierced nipples?

Any mamas out there that we’re able to breast feed & keep their nipple piercings?? I know obviously I’ll have to take them out while feeding, i just don’t wanna lose my piercings lol

You will just have to get them pierced again once you stop feeding baby hun x

Try pumping if you’re dead set on keeping them. Nothing wrong with loving the piercings you spent money on :woman_shrugging:

You might just have to sacrifice them because I don’t think you’ll be wanting to take them out every 2 hours give or take to feed for the next year or two…

I did it and everything was fine. I took out the piercing every time I fed her and made sure to clean it before I put it back in, I would also clean myself before feeding my baby to make sure no piercing junk got in my baby’s mouth :sparkling_heart: totally doable

I’d just go ahead and accept that you wont be able to do both. Atleast anyone I’ve ever met that had them said they came out. Mine personally, came out while I was pregnant cause my nipples hurt SO BAD and I just couldnt take it. As soon as I took them out it was like instant relief. But I guess everyone’s different so maybe itll work out for you!

I took mine out long before I had baby.
But, that hole let the milk flow!!! Lol.
If they are old enough, you won’t lose them. Just put jewelry in them every once in a while to keep the hole :slight_smile:

I was reading that some mom’s by sertion rings wile breast feeding mabe look it up :slight_smile:

I had to take mine out unfortunately, am going to get them redone when I’m done breastfeeding. You could try pumping if you absolutely don’t want to take them out, that’s my only suggestion. I was dead set on feeding without pumping because of the bond and comforting her when she needs it, but everyone is different.

I breastfed 2 children, post piercings. And never had any issues. Other than the kiddos getting too much milk too quickly. Extra holes. :woman_shrugging::woman_facepalming::laughing:

I mean if you dont mind your kid choking on a ball because you wanted to keep your piercings go for it.
