A. Hello ma’am It is important for a child to take a little bit of amount of nipple and areola into the mouth so that it’s easy for a child to suck you know that the group is very strong when that entire part into is into the mouth but if it is bigger it really doesn’t make a difference because if the sufficient part is inside the mouth then your work is done
