Product Information

Eligible subjects are healthy pregnant women, at or above 18 years of age, with grades 1 or 2 inverted nipples. Inclusion criteria are gestation at 37 weeks or more, intention to breastfeed, and residing in Lebanon for 6 months after delivery. We will exclude women with grade 3 inverted nipples, previous breast surgery affecting the breast anatomy, high risk pregnancies, medical conditions that may interfere with breastfeeding, including a critical maternal condition, newborns with congenital malformations such as esophageal atresia, cleft lip, and/or palate, and women choosing artificial milk as their preferred infant nutrition. Women with term twin gestation will not be excluded. Recruiting process Belfort MB, Rifas-Shiman SL, Kleinman KP, Guthrie LB, Bellinger DC, Taveras EM, et al.

Keep in mind this process is very high maintanence. But if you are VERY committed and will do anything to breastfeed, this can work.

At baseline, the research assistant collected data on maternal age, parity, highest educational attainment, employment, monthly household income, previous breastfeeding (Yes/No), grading of the inverted nipple(s), and the longest duration of previous breastfeeding in multiparous women. This was defined as the longest period of previous exclusive breastfeeding (in months) during which a participant breastfed a daughter/son. Moreover, on the first day postpartum, data were collected on the mode of delivery, gestational age, infant’s gender, birth weight, APGAR score, newborn feeding (exclusive breastfeeding/artificial milk/mixed), sore nipple (Yes/No), use of devices to evert the nipple, and compliance with the use of the syringe (experimental group only). Men are typically pierced with a 14-gauge needle, and women are typically pierced with a smaller 16-gauge needle. This can vary from person to person, though. Be sure to talk with your piercer about the right size for you. Eligible pregnant women will be recruited from the Women’s Health Center and the Delivery Suite of the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon. An inverted nipple is defined as a condition in which the nipple is pulled inward into the breast instead of pointing outward, classified according to Han and Hong [ 12]. During regular working hours, a trained research assistant will recruit eligible women after explaining the trial’s objective and procedures and verifying inclusion criteria. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Randomization Binns C, Lee M, Low WY. The long-term public health benefits of breastfeeding.

We will also administer the Postpartum Quality of Life instrument, and collect data on the infant’s weight at month 1 from the infant’s health record. The eversion of the nipple will also be assessed by the research assistant during this visit. Bouchet-Horwitz, J. (2011). The use of supple cups for flat, retracting, and inverted nipples. Clinical Lactation, 2-3, 30-33 The electric nipple corrector is suitable for inverted nipples for grades 1 and 2. It is recommended to use 1-2 times a day, 15-20 minutes each time, and the interval between two corrections should be about 5-8 hours. Hill PD, Aldag JC, Hekel B, Riner G, Bloomfield P.

I'd recommend using Aquaphor or something similar to help with suction and possibly a bit of dryness around new skin exposure. Also be aware that sensitivity increases right after treating so if you have a significant other give them fair warning. I've had minimal discomfort with the application of suction, but sometimes wearing them for the extended time frame causes mild itching or dull ache around the areola.

I also had the Lansinoh LatchAssist Nipple Everter to bring to the hospital to use right before feedings and this helped right away. But soon, due to the constant nursing, I didn't really need it anymore. Alexander JM, Grant AM, Campbell MJ.

Each surgical option typically takes one to two hours. You should be able to return home within a few hours of the surgery. This procedure is more common. Women undergoing this procedure won’t be able to breastfeed because of the removal of the milk ducts. You shouldn’t experience a change in nipple sensation. Grade 1: The nipple protracts easily when you apply light pressure to the areola. When pressure is released, the nipple maintains its projection, rather than retracting immediately. Grade 1 inverted nipples are unlikely to interfere with breastfeeding, though you still may have cosmetic concerns. There is little to no fibrosis (excess connective tissue) in Grade 1 inverted nipples. Healthy pregnant women presenting to the Women’s Health Center and the Delivery Suite of the American University of Beirut Medical Center, Beirut, Lebanon were approached for enrolment in the study. Inclusion criteria were age at or above 18 years, completed at least 37 weeks of gestation, with one or two flat or inverted nipples of grades 1 or 2 according to Han and Hong’s classification of inverted nipples [ 3], intending to breastfeed after delivery, and residing in Lebanon for six months after delivery. Exclusion criteria were women with grade 3 inverted nipples, breast conditions that may affect the breast anatomy such as previous breast surgery, not intending to breastfeed, any maternal or infant condition that may interfere with breastfeeding such as critical condition, congenital malformations like cleft lip and/or palate or esophageal atresia, and high-risk pregnancies. Women with twin gestation were not excluded if delivered at term. A trained research assistant verified inclusion criteria, explained the study’s objective and procedures, and obtained written informed consent from all participants. Randomization and concealment

Use the Electric Nipple Corrector. There are 4 modes and 9 levels of suction for this electric nipple corrector, which can be selected according to individual needs. And the soft material of suction cups will not make your nipples suffer. The suction cups do not easily fall off during use. Victora CG, Bahl R, Barros AJD, Franҫa GVA, Horton S, Krasevec J, et al. Breastfeeding in the 21 st century: epidemiology, mechanisms, and lifelong effect. Lancet. 2016;387:475–90. Participants were randomly allocated to the experimental or to the control arm in a 1:1 ratio. The random sequence was computer-generated by an independent statistician and concealed by using sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes. A participant’s allocation was revealed only after the research assistant obtained her written informed consent. Interventions Many people know that they have inverted nipples, but aren’t clear on how inverted their nipples are. Place the phalange over your breast, ensuring your nipple is centered inside the hole. Phalanges come in different sizes, so be sure the phalange you're using covers your nipple.

If you are over 50 and your areola appears distorted and your nipple appears flatter than normal, or has become inverted, get screened for breast cancer immediately. Our primary outcome measure was the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at one month postpartum. Exclusive breastfeeding was defined as giving the infant maternal milk only, with no other food or drink including water, but allowing oral rehydrating solutions, vitamins, minerals, or other medicines when needed [ 15]. We considered an infant to be exclusively breastfeeding whether breast milk was provided through direct latching on the mother’s breast or was expressed and offered by cup or bottle. Participants were instructed to continue using the syringe until discontinuation of breastfeeding or complete eversion of the nipple, whichever happened first. I have severly inverted nipples. I have tried this product in the past for cosmetic reason and it works.....temporarily. I used the product daily for many hours/day in the 20's for many months (I am now in my 30's). I would say that once you have stretched your nipple out after long term use (months if you have severely stubborn nipples like me) you don't have to wear it as long or often, but you will always need some occasional wears to get it to come out again. It is like fitness and exercise. You can work out and get very fit after many months. But, if you stop exercising, it will eventually stop working with time.

Not everyone finds piercing effective. It’s important that you weigh your options before getting pierced. Talk to your doctor and potential piercer about the benefits and risks.
