The (somewhat) radical female lifeguard at our pool this summer has pierced ears, nose, and who-know-what-else. She has picked up on the fact that I'm a bf advocate/zealot, and asked if piercing a nipple would cause problems later in life if she had children and wanted to breastfeed. I assume one would remove the piercing object before attempting to latch a baby on. What about puncturing ducts, etc?
