Love this Norma! Maybe we should model bottle nipples like one mom I'm dealing with. A perfectly smooth surface (with flexible areola, I might add) presented to baby, which when he was placed by mom over her chest, he reached out and grabbed with his top lip and tongue and POP up came a nipple and a perfect breastfeeding session occurred. When mom gave a bottle he didn't know what to do with it, wouldn't latch and seal to it. Maybe we need bottles like that breast! Let's see how many different nipple shapes we can mimic! And maybe they should come in different colors!

>The Peristaltic Plus nipple is constructed using thick silicone rubber,
made soft and flexible enough for baby to use without discomfort, and also features a unique layer of fine bumps called texturing along the outside edge. The bumps keep the baby’s lips from sticking to the surface.
The nipple tip is designed to precisely fit in the sucking fossa, a small indent found in the baby’s mouth, and since the nipple is available in varying sizes featuring two kinds of holes, the rate of milk flow can be adjusted according to a baby’s development stage. <
Oooh! There must be something wrong with my nipples! Why don't they look like the latest and greatest from Pigeon?
Why don't I have those little bumps, and how can I tell if the tip of my nipples are the right size and shape to fit in the sucking fossa?
Maybe I should not even try to nurse...
SNORRRRRT!
