Surgery if desired: Plastic surgery is probably the only true way of correcting inverted nipples. Some advocate regularly stretching (hoffman technique)/stimulating the nipples to loosen tissue.

Question 8

please tell me if it is normal to have inverted nipples?

Question 9

my 5 month old babies nipples feel hard. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: I believe that you're referring to hard little lumps behind the baby's nipples. If this is the case, it is common for infants to have a slight swelling of the mammary tissue behind the nipples. This is caused by response to hormones in the baby's body. Especially for infants who are breast-feeding, the maternal hormones can cause this response. They may also be different sizes; this is common.

Question 10

is it normal for my nipples to have a yellow color to them?

Accepted Answer

Nipples: Are you speaking of the overall color?  Small glands that are pin point size on the nipple itself or on the areola - round part adjacent to skin. Coloring depends on your skin color as well.
