I was just curious if you can have your
nipples pierced and still breast feed or
pump

It is recommended that the piercing be
healed before breastfeeding ... but you
can do it. The piercing must be free from
infection and completely healed before
breastfeeding commences...which is 3-6
months after the piercing. This is why
it's NOT recommended that pregnant women
seek a new piercing when they are
pregnant.
Be advised that the piercing should be
removed before the baby feeds. Possible
risk include damage to the nipple,
difficulty in the baby latching, gagging,
slurping and milk coming out the babies
mouth.

Any reputable piercing studio will not
pierce a pregnant woman. You'll need to
wait until after you deliver.
