Abstract
Abstract A baby bottle is described including an elongated container defining an area for receiving a disposable liner therein. Corresponding opposing recesses are formed longitudinally and substantially centrally in the container to form substantially tubular, elongated handles. An area of each handle is small enough for grasping by a baby's small hands, whereby the baby may independently support the bottle during feeding. Thereafter, the liner may be disposed and the bottle reused.
