~~~ Since I didn't see this mentioned, I will just drop it in. I also  
remember a few moms whose nipples did evert, with either patience or hand work  
or pumping, but the tissue was SO exquisitely tender, that mom couldn't 
stand to  have the baby on there. It took several weeks of one-sided nursing and 
pumping  on the other side, to keep up supply and all early wounding to 
heal, as well as  that brand new, never felt air or anything, skin to be able 
to tolerate even a  deeply and comfortably latched baby.
