Abstract
A natural formed nipple for a baby bottle, having an externally threaded neck and an internally threaded cap with a central aperture. The nipple includes a mouthpiece constructed as close as possible to the shape of a female human breast. A structure is for securing the mouthpiece at the central aperture in the internally threaded cap to a top edge of the externally threaded neck of the baby bottle in a waterproof sealed manner. When a baby suckles on the mouthpiece, it will make the weaning process easier for the baby.
