A baby bottle is a bottle with a teat (also called a nipple in the US) to drink directly from. It is typically used when a mother does not breastfeed, or if someone can not (as conveniently) drink from a cup, for feeding oneself or being fed.
In particular it is used to feed an infant with infant formula, expressed breast milk or pediatric electrolyte solution.
