I was reading Medela's nipple shield handout. It says  "choose a nipple
shield that is the correct size for the baby's mouth."

Long ago, many years ago on lactnet, I think we had a discussion on this.
Some consultants size for the baby's mouth, some size for the nipple. It
makes more sense to me to size for the nipple. I know many mothers try
various sizes, and sometimes LCs try various sizes.

Opinions? Feedback?
