I have a three terms:
Teesauger
Breisauger
Milchsauger
I know what each individual foodstuff is (tea, mash, milk) and that it's a dummy/pacifier/soother.
According to my Internet searches once again, they have different holes to let the liquids out. I just have no idea what they are called in English.
Can you tell I have no children ;)
Thanks,
Joanne

I think you'll have to expand and explain the concept
There seems to be a dispute about whether they are called teats or nipples/suckers - certainly in the UK teat would be the correct term, but I don't know about the US.
I also agree that formula is not the same as Brei.
However, there isn't one word in either variant of English - so I think it would be better to say something like "teats with holes of different diameters to allow the abay to be fed with milk, tea or thin cereal..."

Comment: "Thanks to everyone for your help. In the end, I went with John's suggestion and explained the different sizes of holes. Perhaps I should have mentioned that this translation was for the UK market. After doing lots more research, I found that in the UK we do not give each type of Sauger a separate name, we specify the size of hole and its respective flow (so I found "teat with medium flow" and so on). I decided to go with John's answer as he confirmed that we don't have one single word for these Sauger, and also because I agreed with him on the teat versus nipples/suckers and formula issues.
Thanks again to everyone, you all helped me out a lot.
Joanne"

: A sucker (lollipop) is a Lutscher in German. Please use your confidence meter more judiciously.

nipple
I think that these would be nipples in the US, at least, since a pacifier isn't attached to a bottle for feeding.
How about
tea nipple
cereal nipple
and just regular nipple, instead of milk nipple...
good luck!

: "Nipples" and "suckers" are known as "teats" in UK; tea and milk teats are I suspect one and the same thing. Sorry I cannot help on the "cereal teat", I've never heard of one!

formula nipple
I think this is a cultural issue. In the US we would generally use formula for Brei. Not sure about the UK.
"There are also different type nipples for formula, water and juice. But many parents find that formula nipples (the kind most bottles come with) work well for all types of drinks. You may also want to look for a nipple that is "drip-less," a nice feature when an older baby lays his bottle of juice down sideways on the carpet and leaves it there while he plays.

yeswhere
: Formula is subsitute breastmilk. Brei is cereal (eg powdered rice) added to milk thus requiring a teat/nipple with larger hole.

(feeding) teats
there are about 6 different sizes of holes in the teats, presumably some are more suitable for one type of liquid/consistency than others.
I just remember using what came with the bottles!
