Do I have small nipples?

Bottle teats and dummies look huge to me. Could this be why dd (9 weeks) won't take either?

I only ask as she is dozing on my lap at the moment, waking up enough to latch on and suck for a few seconds before falling asleep again, so she clearly likes to comfort suck.

(Tried a dummy for sleep issues, and am trying to get her to take ebm in a bottle)

no teats and dummies are much much bigger than my nipples. I think it's because with breast feeding they hold quite a bit of breast in their mouth as well as just the nipple so plastic ones have to be bigger to replicate iykwim.
Dd absolutely refuses all bottle teats, she's 8 months old, have decided not to worry about it and wait til she's old enough to go straight onto cow's milk from a cup

oh yes, I had a feeling it was a silly question

I'll perservere with the expressing for now, but might have to accept waiting to use a cup eventually.

I have very small nipples but my dd took Nuk bottles from about 4 months.
