bottle-fed
Given infant formula
Bottle-fed describes an infant or young animal nourished from a bottle rather than by nursing: The orphaned lamb was bottle-fed every four hours.
The term extends to anyone perceived as overly coddled or dependent: a bottle-fed executive who's never had to struggle.
Compare breastfed.
