SUCKING BOTTLE Meaning and Definition

1. A sucking bottle, also referred to as a baby bottle, is a specialized device used to feed infants or young children. It consists of a slender, cylindrical container usually made of glass or plastic material, designed to hold a specific amount of liquid, commonly milk, formula, or juice. The bottle is equipped with a nipple, or teat, attached to the top opening, which allows the child to suckle and consume fluids from the bottle.

   The nipple is typically made of soft, pliable silicone or rubber and closely resembles the shape and texture of a human nipple, facilitating the transition from breastfeeding to bottle feeding. It features a small hole or slit that permits controlled flow of liquid when the child applies suction to the nipple. Many sucking bottles are now also equipped with anti-colic systems, which minimize the ingestion of air while feeding, thus reducing the risk of discomfort or gas for the baby.

   Sucking bottles are an essential tool for parents or caregivers, as they provide a method to nourish infants who are unable to feed directly from the breast. The use of a sucking bottle also allows for convenient and portable feeding experiences, as the containers are easily transportable and can maintain the desired temperature of the liquid, thanks to thermally insulating properties.

2. A bottle filled with milk, having a tube, used for young children as a substitute for the breast.

Etymology of SUCKING BOTTLE

The term "sucking bottle" has a straightforward etymology based on the combination of its two constituent words.

"Sucking" is derived from the verb "suck", which dates back to Old English "sucian". The word "suck" originally referred to the action of drawing in through the mouth, particularly in relation to liquids or other substances.

"Bottle" comes from the Old French word "boteille", which itself can be traced back to the Latin "butticula" meaning "small cask". Over time, "bottle" came to describe a container specifically designed to hold and dispense liquids.

When these two words are combined, "sucking bottle" refers to a container used for infants to suck on in order to drink milk or other liquids. The term is commonly associated with baby bottles or feeding bottles utilized for bottle feeding infants.
