bottle nipple

Infant suckling attachment

A bottle nipple is the soft rubber or silicone tip attached to a baby bottle, designed to mimic a breast nipple for infant feeding.

Nipples come in different flow rates—slow for newborns, faster for older babies: We need to buy the next size up in bottle nipples.

Also called a teat, especially in British English.
