Feeding with Inverted Nipples
October 22, 2008
An inverted nipple is defined as that kind of nipple which is retracted into the breast. It does not point outward. In certain cases, stimulation rectifies this defect. But, in certain others, the breasts will remain inverted despite the stimulus. This irregularity is found both in men and women.
Mostly, breast feeding brings out the retracted nipple out. Mothers with inverted nipples will be able to breast feed their babies without much difficulty. In normal cases, the baby holds on the areola and not to the nipple. So inverted or not, nipples breast feeding occurs with out much strain. Minor irregularities get rectified when the baby effectively latches on the areola. But, sometimes, first-time moms might experience pain and soreness in breasts while lactating. In such cases, a breast pump or some other method of suction is utilized in order to draw out the nipples. Nipple shields are found to be beneficial in some women.
Since it can also be seen as a cosmetic deformity, inverted nipples can be effectively altered by plastic surgery. But, such a treatment is likely to have a permanent adverse effect on her ability to lactate. By piercing the nipple, temporary protrusion can be attained. The jewelry inserted while protracted will effectively check the nipples from going back to the state of retraction. This is also likely to interfere with the woman’s feeding capacity.
Other methods of protracting the nipples include regular stimulation. Certain sex toys designed for nipple stimulation will make the nipples protrude for a longer period. Two methods of nipple protraction which are now not being administered are that using breasts shells and the Hoffman technique. Breasts shells were to be worn beneath the bra and Hoffman’s method was a stretching exercise. Studies revealed that both these methods not only discourage lactation but also disrupt the process.
