At this time, you can squeeze the milk into a glass bottle and then give it to your baby. Regarding the problem of inverted nipples for women, there are many nipple correction devices on the market that can correct the flatness and indentation of nipples. Female friends can choose according to their own conditions.

In severe cases, the nipples will bleed and cannot be healed, and they are often recurrent. If women have cracked nipples, they need to pay attention to cleaning their nipples to prevent inflammation. Women can rub breast milk on the nipples to promote nipple repair, and they should adjust the posture for breastfeeding.
