Maybe the baby will latch on and you won't have any issues. My mother has inverted ******* and she ****** fed me…37 years ago :) So, I say give it a try and see what happens.

After delivery, the Lactation consultant gave me these ****** shields that help pull the ****** out. I use them for about a week and then the ******* just stay out after that. Between the 2 pregnancies, my ******* went back to their normal shape. One of the ob/gyn at my practice told me the same thing, i would have problems. But both babies were suckzillas who would do anything for their mom's milk I guess. I have inverted ******* and nursed my son and am currently nursing baby #2.

There are many products out there that make it possible, but the ones you should look into are Medela (if you're in the US- otherwise ask your lactation nurse) shells and ****** shields. The shells you will wear in between feedings, they will help to draw your ****** out and keep pressure from your bra from pushing the ****** in. The shields will allow the baby to latch on well while your ****** is being drawn out by *******. Then, once it is out, remove the sheild and let the baby nurse on your ******. Whatever you do, do not offer supplements in the hospital unless you are using a spoon or your own finger to offer colostrum. Babies do not need much in the first 2-3 days but some nurses will pressure you and try to get your baby addicted to formula. (Sad, but true) Once you offer the baby any other kind of ****** it will make it more difficult for you to persist with breastfeeding. Join a local chapter of the La Leche League. They'll offer great support and tell you what you'll need and where to get it. A Fun Experiment: And, if your husband is a willing volunteer, you can find out early if ******* hard enough will draw the ****** out. :) You absolutely CAN breastfeed successfully.

Unlikely! Talk to someone who knows about breastfeeding. I had flat ******* and used a Medela shield while breastfeeding my first to give him something to latch on to, especially while engorged.
