I have permission to post and am wondering if anyone has had a case where  old, healed nipple piercings (with barbell type, so there is some larger scarring) prevented milk removal.  This mom has what seems to be a robust supply but the milk is just plain not coming out.  I have come across moms with nipple piercings before but have never seen this.  Anybody else experience this?  Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
