Yep definately can. I have inverted nipples and have breastfed both my kids. Only thing was I had to use nipple shields the whole time as it was the only way I could breastfeed properly.
It's definately doable hun
The wonder of babies... I had inverted nipples, and breastfeeding made them pop out :) Definitely possible, I didn't find it painful (other than the usual tenderness while the boobies toughened up). Used plenty of Bepanthan before and after feeds to keep nipples soft... 20 odd years later and they're still "outies". As I said, the wonder of babies...
I have a 13 week old bub, am breastfeeding successfully and have inverted nipples. I was so stressed out throughout my pregnancy that I would not be able to breastfeed but it all turned out perfectly. I suggest buying nipple shields (large size) just in case you run into latching issues as they really help (my sis who also has inverted nipples used these to breastfeed her Bub). Good luck and try not to stress about it too much. You can always seek the help of a lactation consultant
