Summary

Breastfeeding is the ideal infant nutrition recommended by governmental and medical professional organizations. Yet, women with inverted nipples often face difficulties in breastfeeding that ultimately force them to prematurely terminate breastfeeding. This open-label randomized clinical trial aims to investigate the effectiveness of the use of the inverted syringe technique on exclusive breastfeeding success in women with inverted nipples, as compared to standard of care.
