  • i have been told its possible to breastfed with any type of nipples you just have to push on them to get them to stick out
  • my sister has inverted nipples and had no problem breast feeding. it shouldn't be an issue. :) good luck!

    I have them. One has popped out during this pregnancy. The other is still very inverted. Read up on the internet about breastfeeding with them. I found some tips on how to work them outward during pregnancy. There are also some breast shields or something you can get to help pull them out. Im going to try my best to breast feed.
  • thanks girls!
  • U can get a nipple shield in the hospital and they help the baby latch on and pull out your nipple. I don't have tht problem but from meds my nipples couldn't get hard . That thing made it so easy n less painfull when she sucked super hard
