29 weeks pregnant and worried about inverted nipples

Mika mikanyuzu18@yahoo.com

Dear Dr, I’m 29 wks prgnt. I hv inverted nipples n thus worried I cud not breastfd. I read in books not to worry as baby cn still brstfd if he/she sucks correctly. Any advice?

Dear Mika, You can pull and roll the nipple a bit to make it point outward instead of inward. It is true that if the baby latches on correctly, it will suck properly and the nipple will correct itself. But not in all cases. You can still resort to breastpump if all else fail. Faridah
