Pigeon's masterpiece of engineering:

"The nipple also has fine bumps or texturing at its outside edge to keep
the baby’s lips from sticking to the surface and while its tip is designed to
fit the sucking fossa, or the small indent in baby’s mouth. It also comes
in two kinds of holes to adjust flow according to a baby’s stage of
development or age."
~~~ Wow, my babies were really missing out - MY nipples had no fine bumps
by their lips to keep them from sticking, or different sized nipple pores
for when they got bigger. Thanks for sharing this though, Nikki. Always good
to be prepared for questions...
Peace,
Judy
