Will I be able to breastfeed with these nipples?

Every mother-to-be wonders at some point during pregnancy whether her nipples will be suitable for breastfeeding her baby.

A human baby is born totally helpless. It needs its mother to survive: her food, her arms, her body, her temperature, her sound, her presence. When a baby lies on her mother’s body, she feels safe, knows she is protected and can relax.

Colostrum – a treasure
