Piercing and feeding
I want to know if the nose piercing can be done while feeding the child. I am 37 years old and the child is 3 months old completely on breastfeed. Is there any side effect on baby or me of piercing? Should it be done or not while feeding.

It can be done under strict aseptic way. But the pain following piercing may hamper breast milk production, just be cautious about that

Can be done under strict aseptic conditions. If it becomes infected and you have to take antibiotics, please inform the doctor that you are breastfeeding
