What are the risks when getting a nipple piercing?
The procedure of getting your nipple pierced with an awesome looking ring or knob does come with some risk of infection though, which can even lead to mastitis which is quite a serious form of breast infection. This doesn't occur very often, yet you should be alerted on forehand that the risk is there. Other possible less attractive implications could include scarring, rejection of your jewelry, boils or even risk of HIV or hepatitis transmission from inproper or non-sterilized piercing equipment. Also more things are on the list which made it to evolve to a partial mastectomy. Your nipple piercing could potentially also cause problems while wearing it for the simple plain reason that clothes you wear can get caught up with your piercing and drag it to here and there.
Can I breast feed with a nipple piercing?
Yes. As far as the story about breastfeeding and nipple piercings may concern, you can very well do breast feeding while having nipple piercings as long as you don't get a build-up of internal- or external scar-tissue. In case that happens, or if your nipple piercing became infected during healing process, you may have a problem with your breast feeding, in particular with the milk flow. However, most breast feeding women who also have pierced nipples can breastfeed fwithout any issues or inconvenience. Just remember to always remove the piercing before starting to breastfeed.
