Hello all:)

My sister in law is currently nursing her 22 month old girl.  When babe was
around 6 months old she asked me to look at her breasts and we both noticed
that her nipples were inverted.  Now at 22 months old one of her nipples has
just "come out" as mom describes it.  I did look and yes, the nipple is now
out and the other one looks like its less inverted than before.  I remember
of my 3 girls all of them had some breast swelling while I was nursing them,
one more than the other and at almost 7 that daughter does seem to have a
little more breast tissue.  I guess my question is is it possible that that
the hormones present in breastmilk have helped my niece with her "inverted"
toddler nipples?  Is there any thing out there to read about this?

Thanks:)
