Philips Avent Scf152/02 Niplette Twin Pack X24

Product Information

Determine the grade of your inverted nipples. Take off your shirt and stand in front of a mirror. Holding your breast at the edge of the areola (the dark area of skin surrounding the nipple) between your thumb and forefinger, press inwards about an inch behind your nipple. Be firm but gentle. Depending on the nipple's response, you can assess the grade of inversion.

Wear your Niplette under your clothing. If you're wearing a tight top, you can conceal the Niplette with a specially designed protective cover. Cons: If you don't wear padded bras, wearing these during the day is probably a no go. They're very conspicuous and aren't very forgiving if your bra is snug to your chest since they're hard plastic. If you sleep on your stomach or have a tendency to cross your arms right over that area, they can pop off.Women with inverted nipples often struggle with breastfeeding because of inadequate infant latching that may lead to insufficient milk extraction, maternal frustration, and poor infant satiety, ultimately ending with premature termination of breastfeeding [ 4, 5, 6, 7]. Early weaning from breastfeeding deprives the infant from his mother’s milk which is the ideal nutrition. It may also reduce his chances of other health benefits such as improved growth and development, reduced infections, less risk of chronic diseases, better cognition, and higher intelligence quotient [ 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. Mothers who discontinue breastfeeding or do not breastfeed may also be at higher risks for certain cancers, chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and depression [ 8, 10, 13, 14]. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and continuation of breastfeeding with complementary foods until the infant is two years of age [ 15]. Hence, it is important to provide women with inverted nipples with treatment options that will help them maintain breastfeeding and meet breastfeeding guidelines [ 15]. At baseline, we will collect information on socio-demographics such as maternal age, parity, education, employment, family monthly income, previous breastfeeding, and longest duration of previous breastfeeding if present. Data on gestational age, mode of delivery, newborn’s gender, birth weight, APGAR score, and nursery admission status (regular vs intensive care), as well as grading of maternal nipple inversion will be recorded. Use breast shells. Breast shells are sold at maternity stores and online. They are soft, circular discs with a small hole in the middle that pushes the nipple forward.

If you do decide to get your nipples pierced, note that taking the jewelry out may cause your nipples to invert. To prevent this, avoid leaving the jewelry out for extended periods of time. New users typically wear Supple Cups for 15 minutes on the first day. If no pain or discomfort is experienced, one may advance the time each day, gradually increasing to four hours per day by the end of the first week.During this time, your nipples may turn red or feel achy. In most cases, this happens because the nipple is being forced out. This may also make the actual piercing more painful. Park HS, Yoon CH, Kim HJ. The prevalence of congenital inverted nipple.
