Answer 2

yes it is

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

A hungry baby will fix that.

Answer 5

Yes, your body will change a lot through your pregnancy to ready yourself for nursing.

I'm assuming you mean areola, not the nipple itself.

I used to have very tiny areolas. I looked like a little girl. Now they're fuller and darker and more womanly.

It is very very rare that a woman is unable to breastfeed, and its never because of having small areolas.

Answer 6

yes but they will give you something to help them pop up

it would be a good idea to wear them before delivery

also gently rough them up a bit ( with a wash cloth) in the shower for a month before delivery it really helped the second time around with me

Answer 7

Yes, you can breastfeed with inverted nipples.  There is a special nipple shield that you can buy to use with a breast pump as well.  Many women have this situation and breast feed just fine.

Answer 8

thanks for asking this question, im in the same situation as you and i have always wondered if i would have problems breast feeding with small flattish nipples. all th videos that you see on breast feeding are with women with nipples like thimbles! it is a bit off putting to us who arent like that. but nice to know that we wont have a problem.]good luck!!!
