I have inverted nipples, and find it hard breastfeeding my newborn. I can’t get them erect. What should I do?

    Pinch them, express some milk by hand, maybe warmth on them like a shower.
    Try to relax while you’re nursing. Being tense can prevent things from working right.
    Eventually, they will toughen up and you will be able to nurse a lot easier because your newborn will draw them out.
    Medela or lansinoh make these nipple sheilds that help draw out an inverted nipple. Your baby nurses over it.

    Why do you want them erect?
