teats

Nursing calf's target

Teats are the nipples of mammals, particularly the projections through which young suckle milk.

The word applies to humans but more often describes animals: The piglets fought for position at their mother's teats.

Teats also refers to the rubber nipples on baby bottles or similar devices designed for feeding.
