nipple piercings

[tiffyplus6]

Hello,
Quick question and don't mind the opinions either way. I have nipple piercings, and I don't want to take them out. I didn't breast feed my youngest son before this pregnancy and It's not because I had piercing,  I got them when was 5. Any thoughts?

I have mine done and haven't taken them out.   Kept them in the whole time of my first pregnancy also.   Now pendant worth #2 and still don't plan on removing them

Actually most doctors and medical professionals recommend you remove the piercings durring breastfeeding and if you want to put them back in after, fine.

Keep in mind if you leave it in...could make it harder for your baby to breastfeed, make their lil mouth sore, or worse your piercing could come loose and the baby could choke/swallow it!

Sadly I had to remove both of mine when my daughter was born. And I had planned to get them re-pierced until I got pregnant again.
I kept removing them during feeding times but it became a hassle. So.... once again I'll just have to wait till this one is off the ***.
Good luck.

You can leave then in and breastfeed. No need for removal. Just keep them clean, and possibly switch to a short barbell. ;-)

I had 1 nipple piercing when I had my 1st baby, I took it out once he was born to be able to feed him and then I managed to be able to put it back in after I had finished breastfeeding (9weeks of feeding)
