What should normal nipples look like?

What does normal milk and nipple pictures look like? With the full promotion of social development, more and more people choose exclusive breastfeeding. So before exclusive breastfeeding, you can first understand your nipple type. Let's take a look at the complete collection of normal breast milk nipple pictures and normal breast milk nipple pictures below.

Flat nipples

Test: Flat nipples mean that although the diameter is within the standard range, it is not prominent enough, that is, the nipple is short, about less than 0.5 cm.

Breastfeeding method: suck more. For babies, flat nipples are less likely to be sucked into the deepest part of the mouth, but as long as the baby is allowed to suck more, the probability of turning into a normal nipple is very high, and the baby will be able to suck easily and satisfactorily.

Small nipples

Test: It means that the nipple diameter and length are both less than 0.5 cm.

Breastfeeding method: sucking the nipple and more. Like flat nipples, it is more difficult for babies to hold on and suck. If the baby holds the nipple together, he can still get breast milk, and if breastfeeding continues, the nipple shape will become easier to suck.

Huge nipples

Test: The nipple diameter is more than 2.5 cm.

Breastfeeding method: suck more. The baby feels confused when he starts to breastfeed, and doesn't know how to suck, but after some efforts, the baby will get used to the mother's large nipple. Even if a mother's nipples are much larger than average, breastfeeding can still be complete and successful as long as the mother and baby are attentive.

Dimpled nipples

Test: The nipple indentation is not noticeable in the nipple.

Breastfeeding method: seek medical attention as soon as possible. These nipples should be cared for as soon as possible. Finger stimulation or nipple suction can make the nipples stand out. Nurse Liu Wenqi pointed out that for this type of indented nipples, Fisher exercises can be used to improve the indentation and make breastfeeding more complete. Once breastfeeding is on track, the nipples will automatically protrude as long as they are stimulated by the baby's sucking, and no intentional pulling is required. Therefore, pregnant mothers with this type of nipples should not abandon it easily.
