I am trying to help a new mother who has inverted nipples. In the first 
two days after the birth she was able to roll the nipples out somewhat and 
we managed to get baby nursing on a shield. After she went home and the 
milk came in obviously it wasn't working so well and the nipples have 
become very sore. Her breasts are naturally firm without much elasticity 
in the areola tissue. I assume the fullness and swelling in the breast 
added to the problem.  She has been pumping with a "pump in style" but 
finds this painfull also. I have encouaged her to keep pumping and we hope 
that it will become more comfy as the tissues learn to stretch but she is 
not willing to continue long if the pain remains the same. Any ideas? 
Anyone experienced with helping women with truely inverted nipples?
