Can you breast-feed with nipple piercings. I was told it's possible if i place tape over them? HELP

Worse case scenario, u need them re-pierced. As u already have the jewelry, and keeping them clean and sterile might be a pain, I'd just take them out until bubs is weaned/ eating some foods.

But there is no reason to take them out. You went threw all that pain to get them done. nd it does no harm to your baby get the internal threading take em out when you feed your lovely baby and you will be just fine:)

Totally can. I would recommend getting internal threading barbells because you will be consistently taking them in and out and the external threading can start irritating You.

You have to take them out. That's not an optional step.
But once you do, the holes themselves won't cause any issues with nursing.

I've heard that you need to take them out and put them back in before and after feedings.  I took mine out when I found out I was pregnant because my nipples hurt so bad.  I would definitely not put tape anywhere near a baby's mouth, you don't want them to swallow anything besides your milk as it could choke them.
