How to breastfeed with inverted nipples

Before each feeding, the mother gently pulls out the nipple and puts it into the baby's mouth, waiting for the baby to hold the nipple and suck. If you persist in this operation, the shape of the nipple will change.

Go to a baby store to buy a nipple corrector. After using the corrector, the nipple will gradually bulge out. The effect will be slower, and you need to do the traction several times. This method must be persisted.

Before breastfeeding each time, you should apply a hot towel, and then pinch the nipple with your hands. Usually pinch it a few times, and the nipple will slowly stand out. Avoid hurting yourself by pressing too hard.

Lower your head, let your breasts relax naturally, use your hands to get close to the flesh around the nipples and push them upwards. This way, the entire breast will grow a little and the nipples will grow longer.

Use a manual breast pump to extract breast milk and put it into a glass bottle and then feed your child, or buy a fake nipple cover and let your baby suck the nipple. By using a manual breast pump, since the manual breast pump also has a reshaping effect, the nipple will gradually change shape, and the pumped breast milk will not be indigestible due to filling in the breast milk.
