I haven't run across anything about nipples increasing with parity,
but I have heard about the shoe size increasing and remember it
happening to me.  For those who are convinced a baby can't handle a
large nipple, have you seen the British video "Breastfeeding: Coping
with the First Week"? (or something close to that.  It's at work and
I'm at home, so I can't check for sure.)  A baby that looks close to
newborn is latching beautifully on a nipple that looks twice the
diameter of the average nipple!  While some babies have trouble
latching to large nipples, others can surprise us.  Once the mom is
helped to latch effectively, some baby may handle a large nipple.
Assuming that a large nipple will automatically be a problem is like
the nurse who says "This mom has sore nipples, but she's a redhead"
and never checks to see if there is another reason for the soreness.
