•All Things Nipples•
There are 3 types : Everted, Flat, and Inverted (and unclassified)
Everted are the most common, and only about 10 to 20% have flat or inverted!
It's totally normal to have different types of nips on either b**b!
Everted are the easiest type for babies to latch on to and bring breast tissue all the way back to the soft palate, while flat and inverted are more challenging but not impossible!
The shape and type of your nips can change during pregnancy so it is recommended to seek help with concerns with ni**le shape until the end of pregnancy or after your baby is born during a full breastfeeding consultation to help get your breastfeeding relationship off on a solid foundation!
Did you know that milk comes out of many holes in the ni**le and not just one!? The nip can have up to 20 openings for milk to flow from!
