 [ Symptoms ] i was wondering if gauges ear stretching can close to normal ear piercing size or close  ok so i want to gauge my ears to about a centimeter but my dad said i can only do it if i fined out form a doctor or professional that if you take good care of them that they can close to about the size of a sewing needle so ya i was just wondering if they really can do that thx [ Disease ] that issue revolves around what medication one will get during the procedure and whether or not these medications would enter the milk and then be passed to the infant each medication that is given in the operating room and post operatively has a history of whether or not it would be likely to enter into the mother is milk but frankly science is never 100 and i am very cautious and conservative i do not believe in taking any chances with the new baby and therefore i would suggest that if a mother is breastfeeding that the surgery be put off until breastfeeding is complete the alternative would be for the mother to just stop breastfeeding for some period of time and not resume it until we are quite certain that all the medications have cleared from the system which is typically a matter of some days
