How is the nipple shape corrected ?
Typically, this anatomical feature of the breast, such as a flat nipple, does not require any special therapy. Every nursing should remember that for the correct process of feeding, it is necessary to monitor the capture of the breast, i.e. observe proper application. So the kid should grasp not only the protruding tip of the nipple, but the entire areola.
In cases where it is impossible (the nipple is drawn in or too flat ), special exercises can come to the aid of the mother. To begin to carry out their doctors often recommend even during the gestation of the baby, at a later date (37-39 weeks). So a woman should rhythmically squeeze the nipple between the thumb and forefinger at its very base. The procedure should be done 2 times a day, for 3-5 minutes. Such exercises will not only help to correct the shape of the nipple, but will also stimulate the beginning of the process of delivery.
