dont worry. it doesnt prevent breastfeeding later in life. it could even sort itself out if/when she gets pregnant

if she herself is concerned when she is older it can be 'fixed' pretty easily i think

i think it is pretty common yes

i think it hereditary - ask your mum if you were the same when you were little

I had an inverted nipple as a child...I can remember poking a knitting neede in it when I was about 4!!

Can't remember when it happened but it righted itself by teenagehood.

My dd has both nipples inverted - Age 3

It was one of the first things I noticed, when I bathed her for the first time

ooh dropdead fred!!!that went right through me...if you pardon the pun!
nailpolish...she isn't concerned herself and she's already a very self-conscious child which is why i would feel terrible if i had to drag her to the doctors about it.
mum can't remember what my nipples were like!!my dd1 doesn't have this though.
