Dear Lactnet Friends: <http://www.indianpediatrics.net/mar2011/245-246.pdf> The concluding paragraph: "When other conventional methods fails to correct retracted nipples, often due to insufficient mechanical suction, husband can be used as a good suction machine. The natural relations between husband and wife should overcome any inhibitions for some thing which will go a long way for their baby. Vigorous sucking by husband will not only help in correcting retracted nipples but will also improve lactation by stimulation of prolactin and oxytocin reflexes."
