Patient's question:
A year has just passed since the child was born, and I noticed that the child's nipple is a bit retracted. What should I do about a newborn's retracted nipple?Doctor's answer:
The baby is one year old now, it's too late. Generally, after birth, the nipple can be gently squeezed by hand. Nipples usually never invert. Currently, you can gently squeeze it, but don't force it too hard. Squeeze it every night and see how it improves after a week. If it still doesn't work, there's no need to worry about it. Nipples will improve as the child grows. Don't worry about it; surgery can be done later.
