A baby bottle, also called a nursing or feeding bottle, is a container fitted with a flexible teat or nipple that allows infants and young children to drink liquids by suckling, used for babies who cannot easily drink from a cup and also for young non-human mammals whose mothers cannot nurse them. Hard plastic is the most common material, valued for being transparent, lightweight and resistant to breakage, while glass bottles are easier to clean and hold less formula residue; some modern bottles use stainless steel or silicone rubber instead. Baby bottles are used to feed expressed breast milk, infant formula or pediatric electrolyte solutions, and the design of the bottle and teat can affect how a baby feeds and how much milk it takes in.
