Feeding bottle

What is a "feeding bottle"?

A feeding bottle is a specialized container designed to safely and conveniently provide nourishment to infants or young children who are not breastfeeding. It consists of a bottle with a secure cap and a detachable nipple or teat through which the child can suckle. Feeding bottles facilitate the preparation, storage, and feeding of formula milk, expressed breast milk, or other liquids, allowing caregivers to meet the nutritional needs of the baby. They provide a hygienic and controlled method of feeding, ensuring proper portion sizes and allowing for easy digestion. Proper cleaning and sterilization of feeding bottles are essential for maintaining the baby's health and preventing the risk of contamination or illness. Feeding bottles play a vital role in supporting the personal care of infants, ensuring their nourishment, comfort, and overall well-being.
