inverted nipples???
Hi girls
Just been reading some of the breast feeding posts - and i would like to breast feed - but this is my first pregnancy and i have inverted nipples.
I have been worried about it for ages - and when i shared my concerns with the midwife she said "the baby will suck them out" but i have my doubts about this - i had read somewhere that inverted nipples were caused by skin being attached beneath them - so not sure if they will be able to 'pop out' that easily.
I would really appreciate any advice from anyone who has the same problem??? I haven't told anyone apart from the midwife and would like to find out how possible breast feeding might be.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

I have flat nipples which i know isnt the same but i havent had any problems.
I was told that flat and inverted dont cause a problem providing your shown how to latch baby on correctly, the baby really needs to open mouth wide so whole of nipple goes into mouth and their lips are only on the brown skin around it.
I found if i used a breast pump just before feeding my right boob nipple would come out a bit but if anything my left went in. the only time i found baby struggled was when my boobs were full in which case i expressed a bit off and then he was fine

my nipples used to be flat b4 i had dd1, and i had to kind of pull them a bit before a feed, then they never went flat again after that so bf dd2 was no prob.
hope that helps x
