Patient's question:
Hello, I am a new mom who just had a baby, but the baby has been unable to latch onto the nipple.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, generally, you can adapt for a period of time with a false nipple. Additionally, you can intentionally massage and gently lift your nipples on your own. You can also ask your husband to help with sucking. As the child grows and becomes more adaptable, it will also improve.Suggestions: You can also use your hand to pull out the inverted nipple from within the breast and hold it in place for a while. If this method is not effective, you can try the syringe suction method. Prepare a 10-mL plastic syringe, remove the outer casing from the front end of the syringe; pull out the needle core, turn the syringe upside down, and align the open end of the outer casing with the inverted nipple. Then, insert the needle core from the cut end of the syringe into the syringe, gently suction, and use the negative pressure of the syringe to pull out the inverted nipple. Hold it in place for 5-6 minutes. Repeat 1-2 times daily.
