I think they went back a couple months after birth and I bf for a yr really I didn't pay that much attention cuz they were serving a higher purpose and my husband enjoyed em just the same if not more ;)

My boyfriend told me they looks like pepperoni pizzas haha. They look black and they used to be pretty pink. But I'm sure they will go back

Mine have darkened too. But they did that with my first pregnancy too and went back so I wouldn't worry! Some men actually like dark nipples too. I don't necessarily think its a bad thing!

It happens with everyone. The color change helps with breastfeeding so that baby can see the areola (from what I heard). Mine havent went back but this is my second and i was still breastfeeding so I dont know if that had anything to do with it.
