Q: My wife is in a family way. She has completed six months of pregnancy. Her problem is in her breast. Her nipple is not coming out. Is it a disease? How will she feed the baby? Please guide us.

A:Everyday while finishing her bath, ask her to roll her nipples between her finger and thumb for a minute. Otherwise ask your doctor to teach her how to do it. If it does not come out, then she will have to use a breast pump for feeding her baby.
