A member asked:
Is if true that if you have tiny nipples it is more difficult for you to breast feed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : I have never heard this or seen it in breast feeding moms. The size of the nipple/areola should not make any difference. I suppose it could and if you are concerned see a lactation consultant in your area for help and more information.
