ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for propping a nursing bottle so that an infant child can drink from the bottle includes a bottle holding portion; and an apparatus mounting portion including at least two mutually diverging first flexible members for abutting the sides of the torso of an infant child to removably secure the apparatus to the child with friction engagement. The first flexible members preferably each include pliant material for bending by hand to conform to and fit against the waist of an individual child. The first flexible members alternatively each include resilient material having elastic memory and pre-shaped to lightly resiliently grip the front and sides of the infant waist. The first flexible members are preferably at least partly covered with or contain a high friction material. The high friction material is preferably non-toxic rubber tubing. The bottle holding portion preferably includes at least two mutually diverging second flexible members for abutting the sides of the nursing bottle to removably secure the nursing bottle in the apparatus. The apparatus preferably additionally includes a pliant and flexible connecting link interconnecting the bottle holding portion and the apparatus mounting portion, for positioning the nursing bottle holding portion, and thereby positioning the bottle, relative to the mouth of the child. Toys having ring portions are preferably slidably mounted on the connecting link. The apparatus preferably glows in the dark for night time parental monitoring.
