Nipplettes were designed to help pull inverted nipples out. Mom does it, at
her own comfort level. Reverse pressure softening (2 free hands) probably
work better :-) I'm not aware of any research showing advantages or
disadvantages (but that doesn't mean it isn't out there somewhere :-) You
can make your own with a 50 cc syringe (except that is against hospital
policy of using something for other than intended use).
Update: the Center for Breastfeeding Research Information Library (at my
house) is now up to 4800 historical (and some newer) research articles data
based. Slow going, but I have high hopes to eventually be able to pull
things up at the click of a key!
