Hi All .  With moms permission I quote "... I have this very strange issue.
I nursed my first 2 kids with no problems at all. After I stopped nursing my
2nd baby, one of my nipples became inverted but I was able to easily pop it
out. After I stopped nursing my 3rd the other nipple also became inverted. I
was still able to nurse my 4th baby although I had some challenges. She
wasn't a great sucker and I had lots of cuts that couldn't heal
properly....now both of my nipples ar completely inverted and I cannot
easily got them out. A Dr told me that the more they get pulled out ( from
nursing) the more they will retract and be pulled in :( )  I am expecting my
5th and I so badly want to be able to nurse my baby! Is there anything I can
do now during pregnancy to help draw out my nipples or to make it more
possible for me to be able to nurse?"

 

Why would her nipples invert after nursing?  Any thoughts?  I saw her with
her 4th, and they were really challenging and she had lots of issues.

Any thoughts?
