Hi, Ann: I recommend whatever works! Assuming no underlying problems - mom is returning to work, etc. - I recommend whatever she got as a shower gift first (most of my moms get at least a few bottles/nipples, even tho they say they're bfing). If the baby is refusing that, then I recommend she buy 1 package of nipples of another type and try that. The most important recommendation is exploring with her her baby's nursing pattern as well as her milk flow pattern. Like deciding what pump to buy, the nipple type she is likely to be successful with is the one that most closely matches her own nipple and milk flow patterns, as well as the baby's nursing patterns.
