A container gripping aid (1) has a jacket (2) for reception of a container such as a baby bottle (3). The jacket (2) has a mesh configuration with a plurality of through-holes (5) to facilitate gripping of the jacket (2) by a baby. The jacket (2) has an egg-like shape. Thus, when it is engaged with the bottle (3), most of the jacket (2) side wall is supported spaced-apart from an exterior side wall (6) of the container (3) which enables a baby to easily grip the mesh of the jacket (2).

A baby bottle holder for supporting a baby bottle in a manner that allows a baby to feed from a baby bottle. A substantially planar support frame has a bottom portion, a top portion with a rounded first side and a rounded second side with an opening configured to accept a portion of a baby bottle. A first side portion of the support frame is spaced apart from a second side portion, so that a baby can grasp one or both side portions. A bottle gripping element lines the opening. In one example, the bottle gripping element is a thin layer of rubbery material. In another example, the bottle gripping element includes a compliant seal portion adapted to accepting bottles of various diameters. In various examples, the frame includes rattles, movable elements such as rotatable wheels, or decorative elements such as ears.

A pump-activated feeding container having a handheld container body with a removable top and a flexible straw assembly disposed within the body and exposed outside of the body. The container includes a priming bulb pump assembly directly coupled to at least one of the container body and container top in a watertight configuration and with a flexible and elastically deformable membrane defining a membrane cavity. The membrane is operably configured to have a membrane depression translation path 306 inducing a pressurized flow of liquid through a second enclosed straw channel of the straw assembly and an upper straw opening and to have a membrane release translation path 400 inducing a vacuum and flow of liquid through a first enclosed straw channel of the straw assembly and an upper straw opening.

A bottle holder apparatus and method of use. The cover of the bottle holder may have a front portion with a bottle holder strap, and may optionally be reversible to a back portion also having a bottle holder strap. The bottle holder may have neck straps, which may be adjustable, and an inner cavity in which a pillow can be disposed, which may support a bottle at a desired feeding angle. This may, in combination with adjustable neck straps, allow for a variety of positions or feeding angles to be defined. In one variation, the pillow and cavity may be U-shaped and centered around a divot, which may provide additional stability to the bottle. The bottle holder strap(s) may have one fixed or relatively fixed end, and one removable end, such that the bottle holder strap(s) can be easily removed and replaced in order to hold a bottle.

A support system for a baby bottle includes a support body. The support body includes a first rim at a first end defining a first opening, a second rim at a second end defining a second opening, a channel extending between the first opening and the second opening, a slot extending between the first end and the second end, a neck portion configured to be positioned about a bottle neck of a baby bottle, and a generally convex or generally concave portion extending between the neck portion and the second end. The support system also includes a pair of handle portions coupled to the support body. Each handle portion includes a handle grip portion and a handle attachment portion.

A beverage container holder has a frame with a ring having an aperture for supporting and retaining a beverage container. The aperture can adapt to different sizes of beverage containers. The frame also has appendages extending therefrom. Some of the appendages are handles and some of the appendages are support stabilizers. The beverage container holder resembles an animal, and the appendages resemble ears and legs of the animal.

A bottle handling system including a bottle strap that wraps around a bottle and a hand strap that wraps around an arm or at least a portion of a hand. The bottle strap includes a first end, a second end, a first outer surface, and a first inner surface that engages the bottle when the bottle strap is wrapped around the bottle. The first inner surface overlaps the first outer surface to form a first loop that engages the bottle. The hand strap includes a third end, a fourth end, a second outer surface, and a second inner surface that engages the arm or at least the portion of the hand. The bottle strap and the hand strap are coupled together at an interface. The second inner surface overlaps the second outer surface to form a second loop that engages the arm or at least the portion of the hand.

The present invention relates to an infant bottle-holding device for hands-free bottle feeding. The device is primarily comprised of a curved member with at least one arm having at least one appendage that holds a bottle. The curved member can be placed around the waist area of an infant and is secured to said area via compressive force. The arm is repositionable and extends from the curved member, wherein the arm has a bottle-holding member with the appendage that secures the bottle within the member via compressive force such that it cannot be removed by an infant during feeding.

A hands-free bottle holder has a pair of opposed, integrally formed, interconnected, substantially trapezoidal wedge members. When assembled, each wedge member is the mirror image of the other. Blocks associated with the wedges enable height adjustment. A hinge rotatably interconnects the two wedge members. A seam formed medially of the wedges defines a hinge. A bottle holder is seated atop an upper surface of one of the wedge members.

A support system for a baby bottle includes a support body. The support body includes a first rim at a first end defining a first opening, a second rim at a second end defining a second opening, a channel extending between the first opening and the second opening, a slot extending between the first end and the second end, a neck portion configured to be positioned about a bottle neck of a baby bottle, and a generally convex or generally concave portion extending between the neck portion and the second end. The support system also includes a pair of handle portions coupled to the support body. Each handle portion includes a handle grip portion and a handle attachment portion.
