My nipples didn't protrude much when I tried nursing my first two babies and this resulted in blistered, scabbed, bloody and ultimately infected nipples. I was determined, but I quit at 6 and 9 weeks respectively, brokenhearted. With my third pregnancy, I used Niplette in my first trimester for three months and with no more than one or two tiny blisters, I was able to nurse my baby for 13 months! It was great! Use lansinoh nipple cream or vaseline when you are using the nipplette. It works much better and is much more comfortable to wear them. Also, gradually increase the suction.
