ABSTRACT:
A two-handle collar for a baby bottle for helping a baby hold and support the bottle while drinking through a nipple, wherein the bottle has a neck with a mouth at one end and a bottom at the other end. An attachment on the neck is used for mounting a nipple on the mouth. The two-handle collar includes a ring removably mountable on the neck with two handles extending from the ring in first and second directions generally radially outwardly relative to a central longitudinal axis of the bottle. These handles are angularly spaced around the axis by an angular spacing B for convenient grasping by the baby's hands positioned comfortably near opposite sides of the baby's face. Oval-shaped handles provide grasping regions spaced outwardly away from the neck of the bottle for baby's hands to hold onto these grasping regions each of which is oriented at acute angle A relative to the bottle axis. In FIG. 1, a portion of each handle nearer the nipple is shown near the elevation of the axis for pulling the bottle toward the baby's mouth, while a portion of each handle further from the baby's mouth is shown below the axis elevation for convenient grasping and holding for pushing upwardly by the heel and palm of a baby's hand in supporting relationship for providing a supporting torque for tilting the bottle axis upwardly above horizontal in convenient drinking attitude, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
