ABSTRACT:
Presented is an infant nursing bottle that facilitates grasping and holding of the bottle by an infant during feeding. The nursing bottle is formed symmetrical about a longitudinal axis and includes a central hollow portion. Projecting from diametrically opposite sidewalls of the central hollow portion are outwardly extending handles that are spaced from the side of the central hollow portion to provide a recess through which the fingers of an infant may extend to curl around the handle and grasp and hold the bottle during nursing. In one aspect, the handles are hollow and communicate with the interior of the hollow central portion to thus increase the volumetric capacity of the bottle. In another aspect, the handles are hollow, but do not communicate with the interior of the central hollow portion. Rather, the interior of the handles are filled with a colored liquid that is decorative to enhance the appearance of the nursing bottle, or the liquid trapped within the hollow handles contains floating objects, such as bubbles or beads, that have a certain degree of mobility within the handle to provide a visual focal point. In its other aspects, the outwardly extending handles are fabricated from a solid material, and may be formed from material having a different or the same color as the central hollow portion.
