Inverted or flat nipples during breastfeeding: problem or normal?

A flat or inverted nipple is not a problem with feeding.

The main thing is to keep the baby in the correct position so that the baby does not hold the nipple itself with his lips, but the areola.

Of course, sometimes hitching occurs when babies are premature and have problems sucking, or the nipple is hidden. In such cases, doctors advise training the breasts so that the feeding process can be facilitated.
  • Use exercises such as placing your thumb and forefinger at the base of the nipple and rubbing gently.
  • After childbirth, devices that suck milk can be used to prevent the baby from sucking directly on the breast.
  • Don't be afraid to do stimulation while you feed.
  • Use nipple pads to shape the nipple to make breastfeeding easier during the first months.
  • The nipple will harden if you touch it with an ice cube or a cloth soaked in cold water.
