I have inverted nipples. What should I do?

Idalia

It's funny, now that I've decided to nurse my baby Sally Rustica, my nipples are inverted!! If bubs is cranky or irritable, she seldom doesn't want to get nursed.


Any suggestions on how to deal with this? TIA!!

Oh, is that so? Not an expert but from what I know of, there's an equipment that makes the inverted nipples come out thus aiding the mum in nursing. Perhaps your gynecologist could tell you more about it. It's like a pump or something. Hope that helps. Good luck and welcome to the world Sally Rustica!

Breast shells are great in helping your nipples protrude. Stimulating it will help as well. Though stimulation isn't a good idea for pregnant moms as this seldom leads to premature labor. In your case, find the best breast shells that's right for you. Medela and Avent are just some of the few. Don't worry Idalia, soon you'll nurse your baby successfully.

Oh, by the way, AUGUST IS BREASTFEEDING AWARENESS MONTH so your post is just so timely Idalia!

The "Ever It Nipple Enhancer" may actually help you.

Really? Glad that I've practised that last month!

Use a breast pump. It may not fully correct inverted nipples but it will surely help in making them stick out. You should have a lactation break at work so you could still pump so your precious milk won't get wasted and pumping your nipples out is maintained.
