Better to be really snug fit around nipple or have a little extra room in there? Tried on two sizes, not sure which to get more of.

Snug, but not too snug. If the nipple is constantly rubbing against the sides of the shield, it can get friction burn and start to hurt. Especially at the base.

It's better to have a snug fit. First, if there is too much room there is more air in the shield and your baby will have to suck air before they get any milk, which makes a gassy, cranky baby. Second, the snug fit means that when baby latches it will have more contact with the actual nipple and keep up stimulation so you won't lose as much milk production. Even if it's a snug fit it will still protect your nipple from abrasion, but if it's too big you will find it harder to switch baby back to breast later.

My bra size is 36B, (unless I am full of milk, then it is 36C-D) The size I have for this is all sizes. Extra small to large. It ties in the back and has straps if you need it. I guess the straps is for larger breast as well. The bra also have a zipper if you have a single pump.

I was wondering the same thing, when I purchased these. The nipple size is 0-3 mos. Love this size as the formula doesn't leak out all over the place, but comes out perfectly. Love these bottles.

While from a 44G perspective, my experience is that as long as it is smaller than the cup of your bra, big is fine. I had smaller ones and did not like the visible ring the edge of the pad left under clothes. If Amazon doesn't state the actual sizes, go to the company website, then cut a circle in a rag and try it. Go as large as you can to avoid ring around the nipple.

You are thinking right that snugger is definitely better, but if it is too small, it is harder to get on and to stay in the torso area where it needs to be for best effect. I have one that is too small when my dog has lots of hair but is fine in the summer when her hair is shorter. There are several velcro strips that make the snug factor around the torso adjustable. I'd get the larger one if your dog does not get groomed like mine and use the velcro strips to adjust it to fit better. I have even used safety pins to make a stretched out one fit more snuggly and you might be able to do that as well. good luck!

I'd go larger. Unless your doggie will try to squirm out of it. I have a miniSchnauzer that fell between the 2 small sizes. She's more comfortable in the slightly larger size, which is also easy to make tighter, if I ever need to - just sew on 2 Velco patches to the diaper to make the attachment place larger. Can't make a too-small diaper bigger easily!

I was able to squeeze the Momma nipple in my Nuk orthodontic bottle ring, but it wasn't a "proper" fit so I would say don't do it. It fits in my Avent Classic and my Dr. Brown wide neck bottles... but Dr Brown's say you aren't really supposed to swap out parts because of their special vent system. So I am thinking it was probably not a good idea.

Luciana, this is the MEDIUM Flow Nipples. Compared to the standard one, I believe the medium provides a suckling motion accordingly. I would use it as the baby grows.

Yes I would go up a size they fit snug. As they should !! You dont want things leaking out :)

yes, but make sure this is your size because the nipple cup does not come up

The bottles come w/2; smaller bottle has "medium" flow (2 holes) & 9oz bottle has "large" flow (3 hole). I could not use either for my LO until he was about 4 months (flowed too fast). I purchased Avent Wide Neck nipples (stage 1/$5 w/o coupon) & used those until then. Fit great, no problems & the ones that came w/bottles, I stored then used as backups when LO needed the better flow; he is 10 mo now & still uses the larger bottle exclusively, when not taking his liquids from sippy cup.

Is it possible that you have the old Medela bottles that don't take the wide-base nipples? I'm not sure if they sell the old ones anymore. The only other thing I can think of is that you don't have the wide-base collars that the nipple goes in to.

It surrounds a little more than the nipple. You can push it closer to you to adjust to a comfortable fit for you. The suction is really good so, yes I'm sure it will work for smaller nipples.

You can use regular nipples for these bottles as long as you have the ring.They say that you can only use the nipple 1x and throw out. Not true and waste of money.

I would say M. It's better to go smaller with wetsuits than too big! If it's slightly snug, it's OK -- but too big and you're going to be cold. Plus, they stretch.

It has a similar venting system but it is really dependent on the nipple and softness (I don't know if it is softer than Como Tomo). If you are considering TT I would feel the nipple and compare against yours to see if it's close and save the receipt in case it doesn't work.

I had the same dilemma. Ended up order ing both sizes and returned the wrong one.
