ABSTRACT:
A device useful in the feeding of infants is provided which includes an at least partially transparent or transluscent container having an open mouth centered on its longitudinal axis at its top end, and a nipple removably attached to the top end of the container so as to cover and protrude from the open mouth thereof. Graduated markings are provided on the container in spaced relation to the open mouth which are located, respectively, in selected sloping, non-parallel planes which are (1) normal to a first vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the container, (2) intersect at an acute angle a second vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the container and which is located normal to the first vertical plane, and (3) do not intersect each other within the volume defined by the container. The sloping planes are selected such that the markings contained therein provide indications of the liquid remaining in the container as the container is tipped upward from a partially inverted feeding position toward a fully inverted (i.e., vertical) position during normal infant feeding.
