What to do with inverted nipples in newborns? Five methods to help correct inverted nipples
Abnormal nipple conditions often occur, and nipple recession is one of them. Its most direct impact is on lactation. If there is nipple recession, we must seek early and reasonable correction and treatment.
How to breastfeed with inverted nipples
1. The ability to expose the nipple by pressing the areola or pulling the nipple is considered as a false Inverted nipple. If it is true Inverted nipple, the situation will be more troublesome. First, use a breast pump to suck out the breast pump, then put it into a bottle and feed the child with the bottle.
2. But this is not the only choice. If the size of the mother's breasts, the size of the child's mouth, and the attractiveness are just right, direct breastfeeding is also appropriate.
3. Some mothers have small breasts, tight breast skin, firm and compact breasts, and children have difficulty smoking. On the contrary, if a baby mother's breasts are larger and her areola is softer and softer, it will be easier for the child to suck.
4. As the child grows up, the amount of sucking will also increase. Some children may not be able to breastfeed directly at first, but later on, they can also breastfeed directly.
What to do with inverted nipple
The inverted nipple is a common nipple deformity, most of which are congenital, and a few secondary to infection, trauma, tumor, etc. The invagination of the nipple makes it difficult to clean the area locally, which can easily accumulate dirt, lead to secondary infections, cause inflammation, and hinder breastfeeding. Mild primary inverted nipple can be treated conservatively, such as Breast pump or manual traction. If manual traction is not possible, surgical treatment is required. Nipple retraction can also be corrected through plastic surgery or nipple retraction correction devices.
The correction of inverted nipples
1. Bra method: Choose a bra of appropriate size to avoid or correct bad habits in the chest, and further exacerbate nipple retraction. At the same time, open a nipple sized hole in the center of the bra, and after wearing the bra, squeeze the nipple outward and maintain it in a prominent position.
2. Negative pressure method: A needle tube can be wrapped around the nipple, a small wine cup can be used to buckle the nipple, and a cloth strap can be used to compress it. Alternatively, a cupping jar can be used to suck outwards, and a plastic jar can be used to flatten and buckle it around the nipple. Releasing the hand also has suction, which also plays a role in cupping.
3. Manual pulling: Adolescence is an important period for breast development and correction of nipple retraction. Frequent pulling of the nipples can cause the breasts to protrude and increase the support of the surrounding skin, playing a "shaping" role. Several times a day. Over time, the nipples gradually protrude outward. If you cannot pull it out, you can first push the skin near the nipple to the outside.
