5 week old. colourless nipples. normal ?

[Oblomov]

ds2 only 5 weeks old.
but nipples colourless. i am sure that ds1 had a tiny bit of brown in his, so that they werre a different colour to the skin right by it.
am i over reacting. being paranoid ?
is it because ds2 has so much red in his hair ?

excuse one handed typing.
am NAK.

i wouldnt worry think it has to do with being pale skinned .you could ask your health visitor next time you see her

Nothing to worry about IMO. DS is quite dark, and his nipples are slightly more coloured than dd's. She is 5 now and has paler skin and hair.

we couldn't see dd's nipples at all until she was about 3 month (could have been older), but i do remember dh cheering and singing about it when they eventually turned a little bit pinker!!

You would swear my 2 didn't have nipples until they were quite a few months old.

What is NAK? Something At Keyboard? Naked at keyboard?

my nipples are colourless - i have red hair - i was actually quite impressed when in the middle of my first pregnancy, they turned a slightly darker shade of pale!

don't worry about it, its normal for people with fair skin.

NAK = nursing at keyboard....so semi-naked I suppose brocolli

Obs, meant to reply on the PN thread; none of mine have had colour to their nipples until they were older, and they are all pretty fair of skin.

ooo - in that case I am NAK too!
but I have managed to situate baby and keyboard to enable 2-handed typing. Am I cleaver or what!!!??
