Hello All, I would appreciate some advice from Lactneters that have encountered women (postpartum days 1-3) with the following issue: Nipples that are inverted, but evert after the first few feeds and remain everted; however, the nipple tissue then becomes red and blistered. Babies are transferring milk, as evidenced by diaper counts, but moms are experiencing significant pain, blistering and cracking. Any experience you've had with these patients that enabled them to continue direct BF wold be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
