I asked before I got mine pierced and (of course) they said it would be no problem if I wanted to breastfeed my kids someday. Well, I can't say for sure either way, because my milk supply was so low that I ended up not being successful with breastfeeding last time around, but the milk did come out of three places (the nipple, and out of both openings of the piercing). I would imagine that if my milk had come in like it should've that the piercing holes would not interfere as long as the baby was latched on properly, but like I said, I can't say for sure due to my milk issues.
