I know a 32 yr old mother who pumped with her first child (never latched) but 
did nurse her 2nd child for 6 months. She stopped nursing that last child 1 1/2 
yrs ago. Since then, she has noticed one of her nipples has gradually become 
inverted.  On her last gyn visit, her Dr did recommend that she get a 
mammogram to rule out cancer (which she will have done very soon). In the 
meantime, she wanted me to find out if anyone had ever seen this particular 
phenomena....that was NOT related to carcinoma.  She is highly anxious about 
this and even if her tests are negative, she would like some reassurance that 
this is not a total aberration.

She does report that BF was never very pleasant for her.  She had discomfort 
in both nipples for the first 4 months and stopped BF at 6 months with relief.
Could she have developed scar tissue in that nipple/areola complex that 
caused this inversion?

Has anyone run into this particular situation before--again, not related to 
cancer??
