Can I use nipple orthosis in the fifth month of pregnancy? Nipple orthosis is best used before pregnancy. If your chest is not too sensitive, you can also use it in the first six months of pregnancy, which can also achieve permanent correction. It is particularly important to note that it is forbidden to use it in the third trimester, that is, after 6 months of pregnancy, so as not to cause uterine contraction and affect the healthy development of the fetus. So when you are pregnant for 5 months, you can also use nipple orthosis.
In fact, in addition to using nipple orthosis before pregnancy or early pregnancy, you can also use nipple orthosis a few days before delivery and a few minutes before breastfeeding, so that you can pull out the nipple, let the baby suck easily, and also achieve the purpose of breastfeeding yourself.
Once your milk has flowed out sufficiently, you can stop using nipple orthosis. At this time, the baby will still find the nipple and pull it out to suck the milk. This cosmetic correction will be effective permanently after the end of lactation.
Finally, I remind you that to achieve the fastest and best results, you should use the maximum suction when you feel comfortable, and continue to use it during the day and night, the longer the better. Ideally, it should be used for 8 hours a day. Every sunken nipple needs a nipple orthosis. You can use it all night without sleeping.
How to feed nipple invagination Generally speaking, mild nipple invagination will not affect normal breastfeeding, such as flat or short nipples and umbilical nipples; The serious nipple depression is that the nipple is deeply immersed in the breast and cannot be pulled out. This situation affects breastfeeding and is prone to infection. It is necessary to do nipple correction as soon as possible. So, if your nipples are just slightly flat or umbilical, you don't have to worry about breastfeeding. There may be some difficulties in breastfeeding at first, but you should stick to breastfeeding.
The method is: gently pull out the nipple every time and put it in the baby's mouth. When it can hold the nipple and suck, it is successful. However, because nipples are usually invaginated, special attention should be paid to the cleaning of nipples, and nipples should be pulled out frequently for cleaning; During lactation, the nipple should be cleaned before and after each lactation to avoid secondary infection caused by residual milk and dirt around the nipple. If your nipple is badly dented, don't forcibly pull or pull it out. If you really can't breastfeed, you should breastfeed as soon as possible to avoid acute mastitis. Another way is to put the auxiliary nipple on the breast and let the baby suck the auxiliary nipple.
