You sure can! Getting your ears pierced will not affect your milk supply at all. All you are doing is getting a hole through your ear!

There is no harm from getting your ears pierced while breast feeding. This has no effect on the child unless you take oral pain killers or antibiotics afterward. Just don't get a nipple pierced while breastfeeding.
