Nipple piercing and how it was breastfeeding with it out

Any mums that had a nipple piercing that they took out and have breastfed?
I took mine out at the start of my pregnancy and notice that with my colostrum that it comes out of one nipple fine but seems to get clogged in the previously pierced nipple.
Any advice or what your experience was like when it came to developing your milk and breastfeeding?

I haven't had any issues. Lactation told me sometimes they see milk not flow through that area due to the trauma, but I haven't had issues

I don't have personal experience with this as the only facial piercings I have are my ears, tounge, monroe, & my ears.
However intrigued interested and following. Wanted to comment so it dint just look like i dint care or was being lazy by just liking it

I took mine out around 20 weeks since they weren’t healed, I had my son on the 15th and it hasn’t affected my supply at all

took mine out when we started trying.. in the beginning it was hard for him to latch on that boob (don't know if it has anything to do with the scars of the piercing), now he prefers it because it's faster flow than the other one (again, don't know if anything to do with the piercing) - def no problem here!

Okay, I hope mine doesn't have issues then. It feels like the way it's healed has blocked some of the passage, so I'm just a bit anxious about breastfeeding. It's pretty much fully closed even though it was fully healed before i took it out. If I squeeze my boob I can get some colostrum out, but it's not like my right boob where it just freely leaks 😅

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
