Infant feeding apparatus

Abstract

An infant feeding apparatus to be used in connection with a baby bottle during bottle feeding of an infant is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a handle section having an elongated shape and a hollow cross section and a series of apertures running along the axis of the handle. There is an extension piece adapted to fit within the handle allowing it to rotate within said handle. The extension has a pair of prongs adapted to fit around the cross section of a baby bottle, so that the baby bottle may be extended from the arm of the caregiver via the extension piece and handle.

1 . An infant feeding apparatus for use in connection with a baby bottle that is of circular cross section; said apparatus comprising a handle section having an elongated shape and having a hollow cross section of circular shape and having a longitudinal axis running perpendicular to said cross section; said handle having a series of apertures running along said longitudinal axis and being set apart from one another at predetermined intervals; an extension piece of shape adapted to fit within said handle and of shape allowing said handle to rotate within said handle and to travel along said longitudinal axis; a pair of prongs in connection with said extension piece, each of said prongs of shape adapted to fi around the cross section of the baby bottle, frictional means in connection with said extension piece, said frictional means for engaging said apertures when said extension piece is rotated within said handle, so that said extension piece may be extended from said handle at a predetermined distance so that the baby bottle may be extended from the arm of the caregiver.  
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said handle is about 4″ to 8″ in length and said extension piece is about 4″ to 8″ in length.
