First, breathe.
An inverted ni**le is simply a ni**le that pulls inward instead of pointing outward.
Some women have had it since puberty (completely normal).
Others notice it during pregnancy.
Here’s the good news:
You can still breastfeed successfully.
Because babies latch to the breast, not just the ni**le.
What To Do During Pregnancy 🤰
Gently roll or stimulate the ni**le daily.
Avoid aggressive pulling — especially in late pregnancy (it may trigger contractions).
What To Do After Delivery 🤱
- Stimulate Before Feeds
• Roll the ni**le between your fingers.
• Use a breast pump for 1–2 minutes before latching to help draw it out.
- Ensure a Deep Latch
• Baby’s mouth wide open.
• Chin touching the breast first.
• More ar**la inside the mouth — not just the ni**le.
- Try Different Positions
• The football hold works beautifully for many mothers with inverted ni**les.
