Piercings whilst breastfeeding?

Can I get my ears pierced whilst breastfeeding? I’m looking to get 3 different piercings on my ears but I’m breastfeeding and baby is 6 months. I know they say not to because infections can pass through your breastmilk but how is that possible when alcohol doesn’t even pass through your breastmilk?

Septicemia being the greatest risk as it's an infection of the blood that passes directly to your baby and can kill the baby x
