Baby bib and bottle holder - Patent 5765225 The bottle holder is constructed of material which is self-supporting and sufficiently strong to hold a baby bottle in a substantially fixed position with respect to an infant's body so that the nipple remains in close proximity to a sucking baby's mouth. The bottle holder of the instant invention may be equipped with straps to form a harness to hold it on the chest of a reclining baby. Because of the weight of a filled baby's bottle and the desire to hold the bottle nipple in fixed relation to the infant's mouth, it is necessary that the bib not move, or move only slightly, in relation to the infant's head and body. www.freepatentsonline.com /5765225.html   (3488 words)
