I have inverted nipples and just like you, was anxious before my baby arrived and tried to find resolution on how to deal with it. some very "concerned" people advised me to use nipple shield, so I did, right from the start. and it was the biggest regret. because the nipple shield was a form of barrier. my newborn did not latch well, refused to latch without a nipple shield and of course I had to exclusive pump for 15months. for #2, I started latching without nipple shield, he was able to latch much better.
