Baby Bottles for Your Lovely Children

A baby bottle is a bottle with a teat (also called a nipple in the US) to drink directly from. It is typically used by infants and young children when a mother does not breastfeed, or if someone cannot (as conveniently) drink from a cup, for feeding oneself or being fed.

In particular it is used to feed infant formula, expressed breast milk or pediatric electrolyte solution.

Bottles with hard spouts go back to prehistory.The first consisted of urns with two openings: one for pouring the liquid into the bottle and the other to be put in the baby's mouth. Soft teats of various materials were tried but were very difficult to clean. The invention of vulcanized rubber provided a material that was soft and could withstand the heat of sterilization. Elijah Pratt of New York patented the first rubber teat in 1845.[16] It took until the 1900s before the technology was improved for a soft teat that could be considered as practical for use by mothers who were not breastfeeding

In the UK in 1999, "the feeding and sterilising equipment sector ... stands at £49m. Sales of feeding bottles account for 39% of the market", or £19.1m.
