Can Breast produce milk before reproduction?

Yes it's called the "let down reflex". Which as by name, is just that a reflex, however it won't do it instantly. It will need to be coaxed into triggering this reflex action, manipulation of the nipples will over time trigger this reflex by generating colostrum then the breast will start to generate milk. The reason for the long delay is so one doesn't start lactating after simple contact or manipulation of the nipples. One doesn't need to be pregnant to start generating or producing milk.


Why do infants turn their heads and suck in response to a touch on the cheek?

Can you leak colostrum from getting your nipple pierced?

Well you need to be lactating to generate colostrum (not actually pregnant). It's called the let down reflex and it is just that a "reflex". Manipulation of the areola and nipple will if done daily and done long enough can trigger the let down reflex to occur. Colostrum being the first fluid generated by the mammary glands. Actual leaking from the piercing all depends on the placement of the piercings, the gauge and the type of jewellery (rings or barbells). Leakage will generally only occur when the breast is manipulated with a fair amount of force or if the breasts haven't been expressed in some time if you are lactating. The pressure applied to the breast can build up some fluid pressure and cause leakage. However during normal breast feeding the nature drawing action should cause no leakage at the piercing points.
