Magda confirms my observation that all silicone shields here in UK are the same size. For the vast majority of women and their babies, the nipple on the shield is *Enormous*, a super stimulus, which then lets everyone down because the top end is never filled by the mother's nipple, the nipple fills the baby's mouth because it also has a wide base so all baby can do is nipple suck.
