The first time I tried (and failed) to breastfeed my daughter, a lactation consultant told me that my one slightly inverted nipple was likely the culprit. I was horrified. I had an inverted nipple"! Despite wishing they were a little bigger, I’d never really been self-conscious about my boobs, but now I felt like a monster.
While inverted nipples are not uncommon?it’s estimated that between 10 and 20 percent of women have flat or inverted nipples?for me, it was the first time I had looked at this part of my body as being different or in some way flawed.

Moms, you can stop apologizing for your vaginas nowFor many women, their relationship to their breasts is riddled with conflict, often right from the pubescent years. Are they too big", we wonder. Too small" Lopsided" Are my nipples supposed to look like that" Will anyone think these are sexy" And when you have a baby this process repeats, only this time with new questions: Why don’t these work" Is there something wrong with me" Will my body ever feel like mine again"
At Today’s Parent, we talk about boobs a lot. I mean, they may just be hunks of tissue, but they’re often capable of doing some pretty amazing things....
