Product Information

On the first day postpartum, the following information will be collected: exclusive breastfeeding (yes/no), use of artificial milk (number of feeds in 24 h, justification), sore nipple (yes/no), pain while breastfeeding (yes/no), compliance with the use of the syringe technique before each breastfeed (experimental group only), and the use of other conservative methods to pull out the nipple (in both groups).

Association between breastfeeding and intelligence, educational attainment, and income at 30 years of age: a prospective birth cohort study from Brazil. Lancet Glob Health. 2015;3(4):e199–205.

Eligible subjects are healthy pregnant women, at or above 18 years of age, with grades 1 or 2 inverted nipples. Inclusion criteria are gestation at 37 weeks or more, intention to breastfeed, and residing in Lebanon for 6 months after delivery. We will exclude women with grade 3 inverted nipples, previous breast surgery affecting the breast anatomy, high risk pregnancies, medical conditions that may interfere with breastfeeding, including a critical maternal condition, newborns with congenital malformations such as esophageal atresia, cleft lip, and/or palate, and women choosing artificial milk as their preferred infant nutrition. Women with term twin gestation will not be excluded. Recruiting processThis is also known as the “parachute flap” technique. Women undergoing this procedure should still be able to breastfeed because some of the milk duct system remains attached. You shouldn’t experience a change in nipple sensation.

It’s important that your nipples are completely drawn out before piercing. If they aren’t, your nipples may invert even after the jewelry is in place. I would take it off every day and wash it, as I did with the Nipplette. Keep in mind this process is very high maintanence. But if you are VERY committed and will do anything to breastfeed, this can work. I got pregnant again and I didn't want to do this again, but I wanted my second baby to have breast milk too. HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS.... With my second baby, my baby was delivered and was breastfeeding within a minute!

Lancet. 2016;387(10017):475–90. Pros: What usually looked just flat now fills out readily to the touch or with change in temperature. Initially after treatment, both nipples stay perky. No loss of sensitivity. Very simple to use. Nipple piercing is sometimes done to draw out inverted nipples. This is because jewelry worn in the piercing can help keep your nipple in an erect position. Cons: If you don't wear padded bras, wearing these during the day is probably a no go. They're very conspicuous and aren't very forgiving if your bra is snug to your chest since they're hard plastic. If you sleep on your stomach or have a tendency to cross your arms right over that area, they can pop off.

Breastfeeding confers several health benefits to infants and their mothers, including protection from infectious and chronic diseases, improved child cognition, development, and intelligence, and decreased risks of maternal depression and malignancies [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. As such, breastfeeding is recommended as the exclusive nutrition for the first 6 months of the infant’s life, with continuation until 2 years complemented with solid foods [ 6, 7, 8]. However, women with inverted nipples often have difficulties in maintaining breastfeeding due to improper infant latching that my cause insufficient milk extraction and poor infant satiety, thus leading to early termination of breastfeeding. Congenital inversion of the nipple, the most common nipple deformity, is due to early developmental arrest [ 9], with an estimated prevalence of about 10% [ 10]. However, nipple inversion can also be acquired secondary to mastitis, macromastia, carcinoma, or breast reduction, or can be associated with congenital syndromes such as Robinow and MR/MCA syndromes [ 11]. Han and Hong categorized the severity of inverted nipple into three grades. In grade 1, the nipple is easily pulled out manually, maintains good projection, and has minimal fibrosis. Grade 2 includes the majority of inverted nipple cases in which the affected nipple can be pulled out manually but fails to maintain projection and has moderate fibrosis beneath it. Grade 3 constitutes the rarest type of inverted nipples, which cannot be pulled out manually due to severe fibrosis [ 12].

Breastfeeding Info

Many people know that they have inverted nipples, but aren’t clear on how inverted their nipples are. The diary will be collected at 30 and 40 days during the participant’s postpartum visit to her obstetrician. We will also administer the Postpartum Quality of Life instrument, and collect data on the infant’s weight at month 1 from the infant’s health record. The eversion of the nipple will also be assessed by the research assistant during this visit. The American Academy of Pediatrics. Policy statement. Breastfeeding and the use of human milk. Pediatrics. 2012;129(3):e827–41. This procedure is more common. Women undergoing this procedure won’t be able to breastfeed because of the removal of the milk ducts.
