ABSTRACT:
A baby bottle holder provides for the hands free holding of a baby bottle for bottle feeding an infant, thus enabling the person caring for the infant to have both hands free for holding the infant and/or performing other duties as required. The holder comprises several embodiments, each of which has a neck sling removably securable about the neck of the user and a bottle securing strap which secures removably about the neck of the baby bottle adjacent the nipple end of the bottle. Some embodiments comprise a pliable sleeve having a conical section with all diameters greater than that of the bottle, with the bottle being placed in the sleeve with the nipple end toward the larger diameter portion of the sleeve. The nipple of the bottle thus extends downwardly for feeding the infant, with the bottle being secured by the bottle securing strap. The bottle is easily tilted upwardly to preclude leakage from the nipple when not in use, by everting the sleeve over the upper end of the bottle. Other embodiments utilize an elastic strap for the sleeve portion, with a pliable connecting sheet or strap between the sleeve and the bottle securing strap. The bottle may be positioned with the nipple upward by sliding the elastic sleeve toward the nipple end of the bottle, thus positioning the center of gravity of the bottle beyond the sleeve. Each embodiment allows the user to position the bottle easily either nipple downward or nipple upward, as desired.
