....good, point, discouraging a mom is something we want to avoid, ......the
phrase "nipple preference" or "nipple partiality", might do such,  ......your
way of explaining what I consider for some babies to be a "challenge"
encountered after they have learned to extract milk efficiently from a bottle
nipple, may be more helpful with moms of these babies that have developed
"nipple flow issues", as we then help moms to enhance their flow.
