Can a woman wth pierced breasts still breast feed ?

You should have no problems expressing milk with pierced nipples. Occasionally, there can be a build up of scar tissue in the nipple that could hinder milk flow.\n\nMany women report that the extra holes leak milk - at times constantly. This is going to be frustrating, but the upside is you may actually pump faster as the pierce holes will certainly pass extra milk during a pumping session and breast feeding.

Of course you would remove the ring while feeding the baby...\n\nBreast implants can sometimes complicate nursing.  I really think you should consult with La Leche League, hang on & I will get you a link. \nBreast Implants and nursing:\nhttp://lalecheleague.org/cgi-bin/aglimpse/33/mnt/WWW/lalecheleague.org/htdocs?submit=Search%3A&query=breast+implants\n\nPiercings:\nhttp://lalecheleague.org/cgi-bin/aglimpse/33/mnt/WWW/lalecheleague.org/htdocs?query=nipple+piercing\n\nYou're really smart to be thinking ahead like this.

I have inverted nipples...they do come out....they are sensitive thats for sure....sometimes a simple touch will turn you on but a touch too hard will hurt. They are actually more sensitive I believe thats why it's hard to breastfeed when you have inserted nipples.

During pregnancy:\nSome women use breast shells (also called shields or milk cups) to correct inverted nipples. The shells are made of two pieces of plastic. The first piece is shaped like a ring, has a soft silicone backing, and a hole through which your nipple should eventually protrude. You place the ring over your areola and it exerts a constant, gentle pressure that gradually draws out a flat or inverted nipple. The second piece is a rounded dome that fits inside your bra cup to cover the ring.\n\nSome experts recommend massaging your nipples to help them protrude. Using a technique known as Hoffman's exercises, loosen the skin and stretch the nipple by placing your thumb and index finger on opposite sides of the base of your nipple and pressing inward and then pulling away. Perform this exercise five times a day, first thing every morning, during your final month of pregnancy.\n\nWarning: Excessive nipple stimulation during pregnancy can make your uterus contract and is potentially dangerous for a high-risk pregnancy. Consult with your healthcare provider before beginning treatment for flat or inverted nipples.\n\nAfter delivery:\nIf the condition hasn't improved by the time your baby's born, you may need to seek breastfeeding guidance from your doctor or lactation expert. They may suggest that before you nurse you: \n• Briefly use a breast pump\n• Wear breast shields for 30 minutes\n• Apply ice to your nipples\n• Avoid artificial nipples, which can cause nipple confusion later  http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/8689.html\n\nIf you try these things and are still having difficulty, consider getting help from LeLeche.  They have women trained to help you with breatfeeding.  http://www.lalecheleague.org/leaderinfo.html

It should not interfere BUT it may change the sensitivity of your nipples when it is time to breastfeed your baby. Babies do suck hard. (speaking from experience with four sons)

ask ur ob/gyn about what u can put on them. i had the same problem, and i forgot what the stuff is called, cuz its been 4 years since my child was a baby. but there is some stuff that my dr. gave me, non prescription and perfectly fine for baby if they breast feed when u have it on. it starts with an L but i cant rememeber for the life of me what its called. laniso, sumthin like that. but ask him anyway, and you can buy at any drug store. its a tube of stuff kinda like a thick petroleum jelly kinda stuff, u can put on your nipples that will heal and help sooth your nipples. sorry about not remembering the exact name, but it does wk. and you may have glogged hole in nipple and sometimes nipples can be infected too. ask your ob though and im sure they will help you figure out what is wrong.

NO!....you should always check with your doctor or pharmacy before you take anything when your breast feeding.  Whatever you put into your body is secreted into the milk you make.

Dear Womble,\n\nYou really should ask women how comfortable their breast implants are.\n\nYou will probably hear a lot of answers that would make anybody have second thoughts about implanting silicone anywhere.

I could still express milk even 5 years after I stopped breast feeding.  Here is what the experts say:\n\nLactation is rare in women who aren't pregnant or nursing a baby — and especially in women who have never been pregnant. Lactation is the production of milk by the breast. A whitish discharge from the nipple may not actually be milk. A common cause of abnormal nipple discharge are fibrocystic breast changes. This condition isn't serious.\n\nCauses of abnormal lactation include:\n\nA noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland \nUnderactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) \nA side effect of some medications \nRarely, cancerous (malignant) tumors of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus \nAny nipple discharge should be evalated by a physician\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/lactation/AN00819

You cant.  Chest exercises will strengthen the muscles underlaying the breasts and may help lift them a very small amount.  Other than that its a good bra, gaffer tape or surgery   :D

Weight Loss While Breast-Feeding\nModerate Weight Loss OK for Overweight Moms Who Breast Feed\n\nOverweight mothers who breast feed their infants may lose weight through a sensible diet and exercise program - without fear of harming their infants - a study by NICHD-funded researchers has found.\n\n"Being overweight may cause serious health problems," said NICHD Director Duane Alexander, M.D. "This study shows that it's safe for overweight women to begin a sensible weight loss program without posing a risk to their infants." \n\nDr. Lovelady explained that weight gained during pregnancy might contribute to obesity later in life. Losing this extra weight soon after pregnancy may help many women to avoid later obesity and its long-term health effects. An Institute of Medicine report earlier had concluded that overweight breast-feeding women could probably lose about 2 kg (4.4 pounds) per month without affecting their production of milk. However, Dr. Lovelady pointed out, no studies existed to prove whether this assumption was true. \n\n  \n\nDr. Lovelady stressed that a woman who is breast feeding should first consult her physician and nutritionist before undertaking any weight loss program. She added that breast-feeding women should not attempt to lose weight if they are only a few pounds overweight. \n\n"Breast-feeding mothers who are only 5 pounds overweight shouldn't try to lose weight," she said. Unless a woman has sufficient fat reserves, dieting may hinder milk production and also cause the woman to feel fatigued.\n\n"In conclusion," the authors wrote, "a program of moderate exercise and energy restriction was successful in inducing weight loss in overweight, lactating mothers without harming the growth of their infants in the early postpartum period." \n\nThe study builds upon the findings of an earlier study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, on February 17, 1994. This study found that breast-feeding mothers could not lose weight if they began an exercise program without also cutting the amount of calories they consumed. \n\n"You've got to have the caloric restriction if you're going to see weight loss," Dr. Lovelady said

Good for your wife for getting back into shape!\n\nI have breast implants, and I started with a couple of message boards and talked to 100s of women who already had them.  Try a message board.  BUT!  Have your wife go there.  They don't take kind to men, sorry!\n\nI would say the first thing is to find a GREAT doctor.  Then, she will go in for a consult where she will try on special bras and they will put in essentially water balloons.  It's the size of the balloons that she likes that will determine what size she ends up being.\n\nSeeing how she is petite, I would say getting her to a small C would be great!\n\nAnd silicone is still not approved in the U.S.  For studies only.  Mine are saline.\n\nYou can play with them as soon as she is comfortable.\n\nI would say that yes, submuscular is the way to go.\n\nSeeing how she is done nursing kids, she could go with any incision spot.  I went through the navel believe it or not!\n\nOh, you called it bum - are you in the U.K.?  Regardless, she can get saline if that's what she wants.

Yes she has breast implants. If u don't believe look at her first video "Hit me baby one more time" and at another (for example, "I'm a slave for you") and u'll see the difference

I heard you can breastfeed without even having kids. Also, my little sister is 15 and she was holding my baby nephew and her breast starting leaking. Have you been around any babies? Maybe you want to have a baby....You should probably go to the doctor just to make sure it isn't anything serious.

Sucking the breasts certainly does NOT cause cancer. And as for the person who said not to breast feed, breast feeding actually REDUCES your risk of breast cancer. And no, your nipples won't get spoiled by someone sucking on them.

I know nothing of the breast milk issue, as mine were done well after that stage. I have read that it is not a sure thing that implants would cause complications, my recollection isn't too clear, but it seems that was a small percentage. You know how people have to include disclaimers to cover EVERY aspect. The only negative side I know of is...not many doctors/hospitals are set up to do mamograms on implants, but I hear it's up and coming. You will be sore, if you scar easily you will have a nasty scar...don't get it done through the nipple. I had mine done through the belly button....read up on that for more details...and my bf is impressed at how good mine look with no scars on my breasts. I had mine done in Dallas, so no help on your geographical situation.
