yes many many many times i have seen "flat" nipples when moms get lots of IV
fluids of all types
-- as i say look at the ankles -- 24 hours after the ankles swelling goes
down -- the milk will come in and the nipple will be easier to grasp even though
the breast is much fuller. reverse pressure softening helps a lot to get a
nipple/areola space for the babe to latch onto
