Abstract
A teat for a milk bottle is provided. The teat comprises an attachment portion for attaching the teat to a milk bottle. A breast portion of the teat extends from the attachment portion, the breast portion including a compressible material. A nipple portion of the teat extends from the breast portion. The nipple portion is narrower than the breast portion and includes an outlet. A milk-flow pathway extends through the breast portion, the compressible material and the nipple portion for the passage of milk from a milk bottle attached to the attachment portion to the outlet. The breast portion includes a flexible skin fully enclosing the compressible material, the flexible skin separating the compressible material from the milk-flow pathway.
