How to breastfeed without nipples

Breast milk contains the most natural nutrients. The ratio of lactoprotein and casein in breast milk protein is most suitable for the needs of newborns and premature infants. Breastfeeding reduces the possibility of bacterial infection. Breast milk can enhance the disease resistance of newborns. Colostrum and transitional milk are rich in secretory IgA, which can enhance the respiratory resistance of newborns. Therefore, breastfeeding has many benefits, and it is best for mothers to insist on breastfeeding. But how do some mothers breastfeed without nipples?

Generally speaking, mild nipple inversion will not affect normal breastfeeding, such as flat or short nipples and umbilical nipples; however, severe nipple inversion means that the nipple is deeply sunken in the mammary gland and cannot be pulled out. This situation will affect breastfeeding and is prone to infection. Nipple correction surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Therefore, if your nipples are only slightly flat or umbilical, you do not have to worry about breastfeeding. Breastfeeding may be difficult at first, but you should continue to breastfeed. The method is: gently pull out the nipple each time and put it into the baby's mouth. When the baby can hold the nipple and suck it, you are successful. However, because the nipples are usually inverted, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the nipples. The nipples should be pulled out and cleaned frequently. During breastfeeding, the nipples should be cleaned before and after each breastfeeding to avoid secondary infection due to residual milk and dirt around the nipples. If the nipple is severely inverted, do not pull or tug on the nipple forcibly. Those who are truly unable to breastfeed should stop breastfeeding as soon as possible to avoid acute mastitis. Another method is to wear an auxiliary nipple on the breast and let the baby suck the auxiliary nipple. Here are some tips for moms:

1. Use a breast pump to suck out the milk to make the breasts soft, and let the baby suck more when it is relatively easy for the baby to hold the nipple.

2. Maternity and baby stores sell special nipple suction devices for more than 30 yuan each. They are a bit like breast pumps, but smaller. Use it to suck the nipple out. If you persist for a few days, it will definitely get better. I have used it successfully on people with inverted nipples.

3. It may be a little difficult when you first start breastfeeding, but don’t be discouraged, especially since the nipples are not very long.
