Answers:
When it's time to nurse your baby, use something called a nipple shield!. It's an inexpensive, flexible piece of latex!. I had the same problem!. My baby couldn't latch on!. Then someone recommended a nipple shield, and finally my baby could nurse!.

We only needed it for about 4 months!. I didn't need it at all with my second kid, because I guess that breastfeeding the first one fixed it!.

I tried getting help from a woman from La Leche League for a whole miserable week before I discovered the nipple shield!. Every new mom should have one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it is not a sign of cancer!.

Some people just have inverted nipples, it's a condition!. Sometimes they will correct with puberty, sometimes not!. And typically, if they are inverted after giving birth, and the baby cannot latch on, you have to bottle feed!. But you can talk to your doctor for more information about breast feeding techniques when the time arrives!. I think things like pumping can help!. But there's not anything to be done to correct them, as far as I know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm pretty sure there is nothing you can do to naturally "fix" them, but yes, you can nurse your baby! When my son was born, he couldn't grab on correctly so I had to use nipple shields!. They were a pain in the neck but they were definitely worth it!. I had to use them for around 6 weeks or less, but some of the days he could grab on just fine!. Pumping also brings them out, so if you pump before you nurse you can get your nipples to be sticking out so the baby can grab on!. Good luck with everything! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Use a nipple shield and see a lactation consultant!. You can talk to one now, or wait until the baby is born!. The LC will recommend a certain size of nipple shield for you and help you with breastfeeding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

a lot of women have them, and men too! you dont have cancer and shouldnt get your advice on yahoo answers!.

im sure you can breast feed your baby but i dont know how you would make them not inverted!. i think thats just how youre made!.!.!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

i agree with the person who compared it to a belly button!.

but if you are still worried, ask your doctor!. if it is something bad, they will be able to tell you!. and if it's not they will explain to you why your boobs are like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you WILL be able to nurse your baby!. i dont think it is a sign of breast cancer!. but im a breast feeder!.!.!.so ive read a lot of books about it,and it says you can breastfeed even if your nipples are inverted!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

STOP! IT IS NOT A SIGN OF BREAST CANCER!!! idiot
