Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for three and a half months, and I have a question: my nipples are inverted, and I'm worried about how it might affect breastfeeding in the future. Can I do things like nipple pulling now? How will it affect the fetus? Perhaps, what should I do? Thank you!! The kind of help I need: What should I do if I find out my nipples are inverted during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Nipples should be kept clean during pregnancy. In the first one or two days before delivery, it is important to correct them promptly and endure extra care and proper sucking posture, which will greatly help in successfully implementing breastfeeding. Afterward, you will need to master many massage techniques and pay attention to ensuring the baby's correct sucking. Generally, within 1 to 2 days after delivery, medical staff will assist you in massaging the inverted nipples to promote their full recovery. When cleaning the nipples, be as gentle as possible, and all massage techniques are recommended to be implemented after the postpartum period. Pay attention to dietary habits and avoid spicy foods.
