What do you call these bottles in English ?
what's the most commonly used in your daily life :
nursing bottle
feeding bottle
baby's bottle
and I think milk bottle is used to put into milk and not the one to feed the baby directly, is that right ?
Thank you so much

In America, we usually say baby bottle for feeding an infant.
Milk generally comes in cartons or jugs these days.

In the past, we always bought general-purpose milk in glass bottles, so when we hear the term 'milk bottle', that's what we think of. So. you're right - the term 'milk bottle' doesn't suggest a baby's bottle.
In the context of feeding a baby, we generally just say 'bottle', because it's clear what we mean. But if, for example, you are in a department store that has different kinds of bottles and you want to specify what kind you want, you might say 'baby's bottle' or 'feeding bottle'. I wouldn't say 'nursing', though - talking about 'nursing' a baby when you mean feeding is quite old-fashioned now.
