Hello Donna

I actually have a mom who is interested in breastfeeding without removing the
jewelry, because apparently her holes heal very quickly, and she doesn't want
them to heal over, (Hours of having them out seems to be enough to make it
difficult to but the rings back in...) but does want to breastfeed.

Anything you can find out regarding nursing with the jewlery in I'd be
interested in finding out about for this mom.

My biggests concernes are regarding the jewelery making good latch possible,
and also the jewelery *falling out* while the baby was latched causing a
choking hazard.

Thanking you in advance
