I had inverted nipples most the time before DS1 and he breastfed like a bloody champ. I rarely got inverted nipples once he was done with me but I still have flat nipples. DS2 had attachment issuesbut I think that was also due to PND so I didn't want to feed him. I expressed heaps and topped him up with that and got the swing of things as time went on and bf till 18mo. I'm hoping to make it till 2 this time. dDS1 only bf till 10.5mo but that was on his own accord. Definitely possible to feed with different nipples, we are all different
Going to suggest ABA again, as well. The book is a great resource, as BG has said, and you may still be able to squeeze into a breastfeeding class if you call now and find out. Though the local support groups and counsellors you can get loads of support and access to accurate information that will help you to know whether your baby is getting enough and what you can do if things are not going so well.
Good luck!
