Hi Everyone! My name is Trish and I am an IBCLC in Bridgeport, PA. I'm sorry to post a question on my first message, but I have a pressing issue about which a mom-to-be and a doctor are waiting an answer. The mom is 5 months pregnant and has a nipple ring (ow!). Her doctor told her that people with pierced nipples can't breastfeed because ducts are severed. Any comments? Thanks--I look forward to learning so much from all of you!
