an inverted breastfeeding journey

We often see breasts, especially the nipples, compared to lemons.

As a woman with inverted nipples, I couldn’t help but think to myself “but I have oranges instead of lemons” each time I saw a depiction of the average breast. Rather than a protruding, easy-to-latch nipple, I had a concave nipple that could not be coaxed outward, no matter what method or gadget I tried.
