For flat or inverted nipples, what action is needed to help with breastfeeding?

  1. Manual expression/pumping

  2. Stimulate or sandwich

  3. Cluster feeding

  4. Largest component of breast milk

The correct answer is: Stimulate or sandwich

Using a technique called 'stimulate or sandwich' can help with flat or inverted nipples during breastfeeding. This involves using your fingers to gently rub or compress the area around your nipple before and during feeding to help the baby latch on more easily. This option is preferred over manual expression or pumping, as it is gentler and more natural and can be done in conjunction with breastfeeding. Cluster feeding is not directly related to flat or inverted nipples and is instead a technique used to help increase milk supply. The largest component of breast milk is also not relevant to this question.
