Can I breastfeed if I have a flat chest?
Breast shape is seldom significant, and nipple shape poses a problem for only a small number of women. As long as your baby is able to take in a mouthful of breast, even flat or inverted nipples will not interfere with breastfeeding, and your baby’s strong suck will likely draw out the nipple.
Can nipples be too small to breastfeed?
The size and shape of your nipples do not affect your ability to breastfeed. Most babies can breastfeed no matter what mom’s nipple is like. Some women have nipples that turn inward instead of pointing outward or that are flat and do not stick out.
