There is a small plastic devise that mothers with inverted nipples use
that you may find helpful.  It gives the child the feeling that she is
feeding from a bottle, but in reality you are both still receiving the
benefits from breast feeding.

You should also avoid oranges, strawberries, cabbage, brussel sprouts,
broccoli, spinach, cauliflower,and anything spicy.  It sounds like alot,
but all these things really upset my baby's tummy. Every baby is different,
so you can try these foods and see if it upsets her before you totally
eliminate it from your diet.
