Flat & Inverted Nipple

Erect nipples make breastfeeding easier. When nipple is not erect, it is called flat nipple and if the nipple is dimpled, it is called inverted nipple.

In case of flat/inverted nipple, Herwellness helps the mother by:

1. Using massaging techniques on areola to release it
2. Calculating and suggesting the right nipple shield based on mother’s nipple size and shape. We also keep in mind that the nipple shield should fit well for the mother and baby’s mouth.
3. Advise on using a nipple pulley
4. Inform the mother that baby suckels from the breast and not the nipple. 🙂

For the baby:

1. We help to find the perfect breastfeeding position- cross cradle or laid back
2. Facilitate deep latch by guiding mother and baby
