Success with inverted nipples?

Question

Hi, this is so embarrassing. But I have inverted nipples and I am worried I won’t be able to breastfeed. Is there anyone else out there with this problem? Did you have success? Any tips? 
Thanks!

Answer

Nipple shields. Baby will suck the nipple right into it. I also bought these tiny silicone suction cups that bring your nipples out but never actually used them. The shield was enough for me. After you get into a successful breastfeeding routine your nips will be erect like 24/7 anyway and no extra help will be needed. But even pumping a little helps get them out for me.

Answer

My left one was. I used a lansinoh latch assist. After awhile of using it my nipple naturally stayed out.

Answer

Same problem here! I successfully breastfed both of my girls for over a year using a Medela nipple shield. I highly recommend them!

Answer

I don’t have any personal experience, but I would say, there is nothing to be embarrassed about and I would definitely find a lactation specialist to work with! Having a good specialist is very helpful!
