Abstract

A dual chambered baby bottle designed and constructed to selectively dispense a liquid to an infant from open end portions located at the upper end of each chamber. The chambers dispense the liquids through nipples attached to open ends of the chambers. The open ends of the chambers diverge from one another angularly and are space apart from one another so as to provide ample room for an infant to feed from one nipple without interference from the other. The nipples are provided with covers which are shaped as heads of animals for amusement of the infant and to facilitate removal thereof. The bottle is shaped to provide generally centered small diameter handles to facilitate controlled handling of the bottle by an infant. In addition to the toy-like nipple covers several figures which are attractive to infants are imprinted upon the outer surface of the bottle to make it attractive and amusing to an infant.
