Many women who have inverted nipples are still able to breastfeed a child. Due to the fact that a baby does not feed just from the nipple but rather from the breast, it is stated that as long as the baby can get the mouth around the breast rather than just the nipple there should be no problems. It is stated that about 10% of women have this problem.

∙ 10y agoYes, generally. Contrary to popular opinion, babies don't directly suck the nipples themselves, but position a little further in. So they are squeezing the glands behind the nipples, and the milk tends to spray in.
Also, you can try exercises to make your nipples less "shy."
If all else fails, or the baby cannot latch properly, you can express your milk and then feed with a bottle, using your own milk.

Is it normal for girls' nipples to be in instead of out?
There is a normal variation called "inverted nipples". When this happens, the nipple opening (the part you're worried about) is normally flush or even "dimpled" in to the aureole. When the nipple becomes aroused, it will show through because the aureole will contract. Women who have this variation are perfectly normal and can breast feed children with no problems. It just doesn't look "normal."However, if you previously had non-inverted nipples, developing them is a potential cancer symptom, so you should get yourself checked out immediately.
