Patient's question:
My baby was born not long ago, and I noticed that one of his nipples has a problem. I want to ask what should I do if a baby's nipple is inverted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is very common for babies around one year old to experience nipple retraction multiple times. This condition does not require immediate resolution, as most symptoms can gradually stabilize as the child grows. Currently, the main focus should be on maintaining constant cleanliness and hygiene of the area to prevent infection. If the condition does not improve during later development, it can be frequently treated by gently pulling the nipple outward to avoid further retraction.
