The following request is from Aviva who was on this list last year. I have helped one woman to breastfeed with a nipple ring. She didn't want it removed and we managed to attach the baby with the ring insitu, and all seemed to go well while in hospital - but I don't know how long it lasted once she went home so I would appreciate any feedback you wise women have to offer. I will of course forward the replies to Aviva.
Thanks, Edwina (Message from Aviva reads:) Which reminds me. I have a question for Ozmidwifery. Would you please put it on the loop and forward the replies to me? Maybe I ought to sign back in, but it takes so long to get through the emails every day. How is it going? (This is, of course, dependent on your still being on said list.) The questions relate to feeding and nipple piercing (why??/ why?? do they do it?): If a woman has a pierced nipple, how does this affect her ability to breastfeed? If she takes the nipple ring out, how long does it take for the hole to heal, and does it heal completely, or has she buggered her chances of feeding. If she's buggered it, what happens??? -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
