Parents' little helper for bottle feeding
Shaped to resemble a pair of floppy ears, the holder positions the bottle directly toward the baby's mouth and serves as a pair of handles that the child grips to bring the bottle easily to the mouth. The inventor, and mother, Marni Schwartz, reports that the bottle holder works best with babies 3 months to 1 year old, and should be used with the infant lying at an angle.
