I think the question of whether or not piering will help the "inverted"
nipple depends on the cause of the inversion. inverted nipples are classified
as either umbilicated or invaginated. If mom can get the nipple out then it
is umbilicated and I would think that either the nipplette or the evert-it
used consistantly would encourage this nipple to stay everted. If the nipple
is unvaginated mom probably can not get it out... in which case it again
would be less invasive to try either of the for mentioned techniques.

lack of sufficient dense connective tissue. If this is the case then I am not
sure that piercing
