What happens to a mother to be if her nipples are pierced? Does she leak? Does the baby begin to choke because milk comes out of three holes? I wonder?

It would be good if she has triplets

good question

lol speaking from experience no


I took the the day I gave birthbut it does not squirt out the holes on the side and dind't interfere with breast feeding at all

Youch! Why did my NIPPLES cringe at the thought???????? LOL!

oooooo....oooooo.....ooooo.... pick me. pick me. i know the answer.

info you probably dont care to know, my children are 12 and 5. however i am still lactating. i cannot get my nipples pierced because...

the milk will leak out of the piercings and in much greater quantity...


but with someone who had it done previously the scar tissue may possibly change that answer.

Your nipples actually cringed?

Well...you know...from just THINKING about it!!!!

so you can actually drown a kid?

The Clowns will Die.....soon


There will no longer be a laugh left by those pail faces..

did they cringe in or out? this is groundbreaking stuff yanno

Uhhh...no.

probably not drown, but choke yes. that happens anyway if you have good flow.

Out sir....naturally!

i don't laugh much and I have a real mouth DT

*runs from this thread*

If you plan to have a child and breastfeed in the future, you may wonder if you should get your nipples pierced at all. I've had people tell me they've heard all kinds of crazy rumors about breastfeeding with pierced nipples, but you only need to concern yourself with the facts. The facts are that in most cases, pierced nipples do not cause a problem when breastfeeding; in fact, some have found that it actually increases their milk flow (flow, not production), making it easier to nurse. Some nursing mothers say they even keep the jewelry in (including during feedings), although I personally do not recommend this. You need to carefully consider what goes into your child's mouth at all times, and a piercing can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It's much easier to keep it clean without the jewelry in place.

If you remove the jewelry permanently while you are nursing, the hole may very well close up and then you would need to repierce your nipple when you are ready. If you remove the jewelry only for feeding sessions, it shouldn't be a problem replacing it after the feeding is over. But constant removal and replacement of the jewelry can be annoying or even cause the piercing to become sore. Since breastfeeding can already cause sore nipples, you really won't want to cause any additional aggravation.

The decision is ultimately yours. You have to decide whether you want the piercing enough now, even if you may lose it later. Once you have a child, you will also have to decide if you are going to keep the jewelry in or remove it. Whatever decisions you make, it should be in the best interest of any future or present child. Nurturing your child through breastfeeding is one of the most important things you can do during the beginning of their life. Making sure that everything that enters their mouths and bodies during that time is clean and safe is also your responsibility.

So, unless you have a medical reason, getting your nipples pierced now and breastfeeding somewhere down the line should cause no complications. However, if you are currently pregnant or nursing, you will not be able to get any piercings until 6 weeks after the baby has been weaned.
