Public Response to How likely are nipple piercings to cause problems with breast feeding later in life?

  1. i was told recently and i'm not 100% so keep checking but any way i was told by my roomate who recently had a baby and has nipple rings that you can breast feed with nipple rings the thing is that youve got to worry about germs because its impossible to keep them completely sanitized she chose not to but she had alot of reasons
  2. You could choke your baby.
  3. Nipple piercings may cause small breastfeeding problems. Women with nipple piercings may face at least some risk of being unable to breastfeed later in life because of blocked milk ducts. Such complications as accidental tear-out of a nipple ring or an allergic reaction to piercing may later result in breastfeeding complications. I would think twice before doing it. Moreover there are non-piercing nipple rings that look great very sexy.
  4. WOW, is just that when nipple piercing will be swollen and the size of nipple will get longer so is not very serious problem. u need some lotion or medicine just get rid the gems so not infected any disease.
