Let's be honest. As women we would love to have long, everted nipples if we plan to breastfeed. Many women think that they have flat or inverted nipples and therefore will have a hard time breastfeeding. Some are so discouraged, they don't even try. It is a misperception that in order to be successful at breastfeeding we have to have nipples that any baby would appreciate.
The Good News!

You don’t even need nipples to breastfeed. An infant latches over the nipple onto the breast, not onto the nipple!! So it doesn’t matter the size of the nipple. I will explain the types of nipples, description and how to successfully breastfeed. The bottom line is you can still breastfeed no matter the shape, size, or direction of your nipples.
