Additional information

Breastfeed with flat, inverted, or perforated nipples
Nipple shapes and sizes can vary greatly from woman to woman. Read our practical tips to make breastfeeding a little easier, whatever your nipple type.

amamentar com mamilos plano, invertidos ou perfurados

Most women's nipples bulge and become more erect when stimulated by touch or sensation, but some have nipples that are flat or inverted. And some women have pierced one or both nipples. Many mothers with inverted, flat or perforated nipples breastfeed without any problems, but others need additional support.

"Don't panic if you have flat or inverted nipples. It's often perfectly possible to breastfeed," says Sioned Hilton, a lactation consultant, neonatology nurse and health assistant who has worked with Medela in the UK for over one of each. "Remember that your baby is latching on to a large part of the breast, not just the nipple, when he is effectively breastfeeding."

But in the first few days, when your baby's mouth is still very small and your sucking is less effective, inverted or flat nipples can make it harder for him to start breastfeeding, especially if he's premature or not well. .

"If your nipple is flat or inverted, it may not reach the roof of your baby's mouth to stimulate their palate and trigger their sucking reflex," explains Sioned. "This can cause you to have problems latching onto the breast, or not being able to latch on for effective milk transfer."

How to tell if you have flat or inverted nipples
Flat nipples1 are not very protruding from the areola (the darkest area around them), even when stimulated.

An inverted nipple dimples inward in the center. It can look like this all the time, or only when stimulated. Sometimes inverted nipples retract and stay level with the areola, or they can even sink into the breast tissue.

This can affect one or both nipples and it is estimated that up to 10% of women who are first time mothers have at least one inverted nipple.2 If you are not sure whether your nipple is inverted, try the 'Pinch Test ": Squeeze the breast gently, with your thumb and forefinger on either side of the areola. Most nipples protrude outward, but if yours retracts or dips inward, creating a dimple at the tip, then it's inverted.

Preparing inverted or flat nipples during pregnancy

You may notice that as your breast changes during pregnancy, your nipples start to protrude on their own. If it doesn't and you're worried that your shape might make it harder to breastfeed, you can use nipple trainers. These soft, flexible silicone discs fit discreetly inside the bra and put light pressure on the nipples, helping them to stand out.

"Nipple trainers can be used from the 32nd week of a normal pregnancy," advises Sioned. "Start with just one hour a day and work your way up to about eight hours. If you have an incompetent (weakened) cervix, or are otherwise at risk of having a premature birth, talk to a healthcare professional about the best time to start using them, as nipple stimulation can cause contractions.

"You can continue to use nipple trainers after your baby is born," she adds. "Try to put them in your bra 30 to 60 minutes before you breastfeed."

"I have inverted nipples and after two or three weeks of trying to get my baby to latch on, I was about to switch to formula milk," recalls Nina, mother of one, Germany. "I asked La Leche League for help and a very nice lady came to visit and encouraged me to keep trying. She suggested nipple trainers which were a great help. Somehow my little boy started to realize what he had to do! So breastfeeding became great and we continued until he was 21 months old."

Help your baby latch on to flat or inverted nipples
If your baby happily sucks on your finger but seems less interested in your breast, it's a sign that your nipple may not be reaching your palate when he latches on to your breast. You may get frustrated and pull away and cry, or even fall asleep on your chest. If this is happening, ask a lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist to check how he latches onto the breast.

There are several techniques you can use right before each breastfeeding session to give your nipples an easier grip. Sioned suggests:

stimulating the nipple between your thumb and forefinger to encourage it to protrude
pinch the breast just behind the areola, with your fingers in a "V" or "C" shape, to pull the nipple out
briefly touching the nipple with a cold compress or an ice cube to make it erect
expressing milk, manually or with a breast pump, a few minutes before a feeding session, to pull the nipple further out
"I have a flat nipple, but I didn't find out until Austin had trouble suckling on that side," says Jennifer, mother of two, UK. "There's nothing anatomically wrong. It just doesn't stick as much, which makes grasping the breast a little more complicated. little complicated at first, but it got a lot easier as time went on."

Using a silicone nipple to help the baby latch on to the breast
If none of the above works and your baby continues to struggle to hold on to the breast, your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist may advise you to breastfeed your baby with a silicone nipple. It's a thin, flexible piece of silicone, shaped like a nipple, with holes at the tip for your milk to pass through.

The silicone nipple gives your baby a bigger, firmer target, while stimulating their palate to encourage them to suck. Generally speaking, silicone nipples should be considered a short-term solution. If you have problems or experience pain, consult your lactation consultant or breastfeeding specialist, who will make sure your baby is latching onto the breast correctly with the silicone nipple in place. You will also need to monitor your baby's weight gain to make sure your milk supply is increasing to meet your needs.3

Over time, as your baby's sucking gets stronger and your nipples get used to breastfeeding, you may be able to breastfeed without silicone nipples.

"My nipples are quite flat. A healthcare professional recommended silicone nipples for my two babies and I used them with great success," says Anne-Sophie, mother of two, Sweden. "My secret to keeping them clinging to the skin is to lightly wet the edge before using them."

Breastfeeding with pierced nipples
Many women with pierced nipples find it has no impact on their ability to breastfeed. But it is necessary to remove the piercings before feeding sessions, as they pose a choking hazard and can scratch your baby's tongue, gums and palate.

"I had a nipple piercing, but I had it removed a year later when I got pregnant, as my breast became so sensitive," says Kellie, mother of three, UK. "I exclusively breastfed my daughter and then the two younger brothers without any problem. On the contrary, the pierced nipple was the favorite!"

Other mothers experience breast milk leakage through piercing holes, or suspect that the healing of piercings reduces their milk production4, although there is little research in this area.

"It's impossible to know how a piercing affects breastfeeding until your milk comes in," says Sioned. "If you're worried, consult a breastfeeding consultant or breastfeeding specialist. And remember that babies can get all the food they need from just one breast if there's a problem with the other."

If you are unable to breastfeed with flat or inverted nipples
Even if she's tried everything and breastfeeding just doesn't work, she still needs to feed her baby.

"The most important thing is that the mother and baby are doing well," says Sioned. "Exclusive pumping, so your baby has expressed milk for every feeding session, can work for you. Or you can try a supplemental nutrition system so your baby can practice on your breast and also have a supplement of expressed milk through This means he goes through the breastfeeding experience and stimulates your milk supply, which in turn can help you express more milk."

"I have inverted nipples. After a disastrous breastfeeding experience with my first child, I was determined to succeed with my second," says Babettli, mother of two, Italy. "I consulted with experts and tried nipple formers and silicone nipples but to no avail. Exclusive pumping with a hospital-grade Medela Symphony Electric Double Breast Pump turned out to be the best option for us. I pumped for every feeding session for four months."

Caring for different types of nipples
You may need to take special care of your flat or inverted nipples, as your baby may suck on them harder, which can make them sore at first. For tips on dealing with sore nipples, read Nipple Care for Breastfeeding Moms.

If your nipples retract after breastfeeding, any moisture can make them sore and increase your risk of infections, including breast thrush. Dry them after each feeding session, before retracting them again.

Flat, inverted nipples can be more difficult to deal with if your chest is swollen, when even nipples that are normally erect are temporarily flattened. Read our article on breast engorgement for advice.

The big news is that repeated breastfeeding or pumping can change the shape of your nipple so breastfeeding can get easier as your baby grows. And you might not have any problems if you have another baby, as Leanne, mother of two, UK found out.

"The second time, breastfeeding was a dream," she says. "Nearly four months of pumping for my first son helped expand my flat nipples and my second son latched on straight away without needing silicone nipples. He's still breastfeeding, now nine months old."
