There are several strategies to help mothers with flat or inverted nipples successfully breastfeed:
Breastfeeding Techniques: Different breastfeeding positions and techniques can help the baby latch more effectively. A lactation consultant can provide personalized advice and support. Nipple Shields: These are silicone devices that can help the baby latch onto the breast more easily. Breast Pumps: Using a breast pump before feeding can help draw out the nipple and make latching easier for the baby. Manual Techniques: Gentle stimulation and massage of the nipple before feeding can help it protrude. Nipple Shells: These are worn inside the bra and help to gently draw out the nipple over time.
