ABSTRACT:
A nipple selection apparatus includes a breast pump that includes a breast receiving housing, a suction device in fluid connection with the housing and a pressure gauge that is in fluid connection with the housing and is adapted for measuring the pressure within the housing. The gauge provides a relative measurement of the force required to extract milk from a mother's breast. A nipple for a bottle may then be selected that has a flow rate corresponding to the relative measurement.
