Hi all; Looking for suggestions for a mother who is suffering significant nipple pain due to one sided compression of the nipple itself. By this I mean mom's nipple has almost a "shelf" when everted- one side of the nipple rounds "normally" but the lateral side does not evert as high,leaving a "peak and shelf" type look. This occurs whether nursing or pumping. During nursing babe mouthing causes the "shelf" side to compress into a flattened ridge causing great pain. Babe has a normal suckle, equal on all aspects of the tongue and palate so I feel its more of a maternal structural varience issue. But how can I help? Any tips, tricks , etc. are very welcome...mom's ready to quit due to pain, even though babe is doing beautifully on the breast.
