- a closure means for the nursing bottle;
- an elongated and flexible connecting tube means;
- a nipple means including a nipple;
- first interconnection means which connects the tube means with the interior of the nipple means and provides communication of the interior of the tube means with the interior of the nipple means and of the nipple thereof;
- second interconnection means, which includes the closure means for the nursing bottle and which connects the tube means with the nursing bottle and provides communication of the interior of the tube means with the interior of the nursing bottle;
- bottle-support means being provided for supporting the nursing bottle in an inverted position and operatively remote from the location of the nipple means when the infant is nursing from the nipple of the nipple means;
- in a combination in which valve means is provided which operatively seals the inlet of the second interconnection means, thereby blocking communication of the interior of the tube means with the interior of the nursing bottle and preventing passage of air from the bottle even through pressure in the tube means is less than in the bottle, when the milk supply in the nursing bottle has been exhausted.
