Breastfeeding rupture of inverted nipples can be facilitated by applying anti-inflammatory medication such as erythromycin ointment to the nipple, wiping off the medication and expressing the nipple to facilitate breastfeeding before feeding.
Women with inverted nipples can assist with breastfeeding by manually expressing the nipple, and for more severe inversion, the nipple can be suctioned out with a negative pressure suction device.
Breastfeeding in this condition often causes nipple cracking. Anti-inflammatory medications such as erythromycin ointment can be applied locally to the nipple and surrounding area to prevent infection.
After applying the medication, care should be taken to clean the nipple before breastfeeding to prevent the baby from accidentally ingesting the medication when sucking.
During breastfeeding, pay attention to keep the nipple dry and clean and pay attention to personal hygiene. When not ruptured, oil-based creams such as petroleum jelly ointment can be applied to the nipple areola, thus protecting the nipple from rupture, and the same care should be taken to wipe it off before breastfeeding. Medications should be applied under medical supervision.
