Nipple ring
Pierced nipples do not interfere with breast feeding, but you will need to remove the piercing before each feeding. It may not be a good idea to get a new nipple piercing while breast feeding, because the nipples will be very tender during the healing after piercing. New piercings also may not be a good idea, because of the small risk of getting a skin infection while you are pregnant with your baby.
