Abstract:
Two baby bottles  33  that are attached to each other as to dispense two separate liquids and having baby size handles  30  for holding and attached to handles are mind development keys  31 . A drinking nipple  10  so constructed as to accommodate a common drinking straw. A teething nipple  38  and  39  with a dispensing cavity  40  governed by an attached baffle  41  which restricts the flow of liquids and said baffle  41  designed to hold a drinking straw if so desired without spilling contents of bottle when inverted.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to a baby bottle and a baby bottle nipple, and, more particularly, is directed towards such a combination of feeding baby and developing its mind and raising the awareness in the human mind at the same time the baby is feeding; baby&#39;s first mode of learning and mind development is through its mouth and hands. A dual bottle so attached as to provide easy cleanability together with handles to provide grips for baby and a drinking straw nipple to provide a means of feeding between bottle and cup stages. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Bottles and nipples for dispensing liquids or foods from baby bottles and jars are well known. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a baby bottle and nipple which when used will give baby a choice and when there is a choice involved, natural thinking will occur, and then the baby will then se apt to make its mind develop every time feeding or drinking occurs. It is common knowledge that our first mode of mind development is through the mouth, fingers and tongue.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     FIG. 1 shows a rubber nipple  13  for a baby bottle that dispenses liquids or foods. Collar  17  is made typically from injection molded plastic, or any other boilable material that can be sterilized before use. Collar  17  then holds nipple  13  on bottle or food jar by standard thread  18  inside the collar as in FIG  1  the collar  17  is then screwed onto an ordinary baby bottle or food jar until the base  23  of the nipple is compressed and seated against the rim  24  of the bottle. 
     The nipple  10  of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2 is typically made from rubber or from injected molded plastic such as polyethylene or any other boilable material that can be sterilized before use. The drinking straw tapered entry hole  11  terminates at the top of the nipple at  12 . The hole in the nipple of the present invention is tapered allowing any size diameter drinking stray as illustrated on FIG.  3 . Drinking straw  25  in FIG. 3 enters nipple  10  at tapered entry hole  11  at base  26  of nipple of the present invention. Drinking straw  25  is held by friction in tapered cavity of the present invention. The drinking straw  25  is then cut in such a manner as to let fluids or foods enter straw at  27  or  28 . Length of drinking straw is determined by depth of container  20  as illustrated in FIG.  6 . 
     Prior art nipples enable nipple  10  to be forced inside of cavity of prior art nipples as manner of entry is described in FIG.  4 . Nipple  10  of the present invention is held inside of prior art nipples by friction. The pinhole  14  of nipple  13  prevents fluids from escaping from container, other than by sucking, when such container is turned opposite gravity pull. Pinhole  24  may be enlarged to suit the flow of liquids on foods. The top of nipple  10  may be cut to accommodate inner cavity of nipples of prior art without destroying or altering function of the nipple of the present invention. The slit  16  on cut as illustrated in FIG. 2 allows operation to thoroughly clean nipple  10  of the present invention. Nipple  10  can be cut in half and still remain functional as of the present invention. If such a manner deems necessary nipple  10  would be inserted into nipples of prior art and the straw  25  can then enter tapered cavity as nipple  13  contains nipple  10 . Cavities  15  as illustrated in FIG. 2 at base  26  make way for the functions of nipple as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,960,088. FIG. 4, hole  22  is slit  16  stop hole. 
     FIG. 5 illustrates a nipple of prior art, the nipple of the present invention, in broken lines, and a drinking straw inserted and illustrated by broken lines, is frictionally held by the tapered cavity of the nipple of the present invention. The two bases  23  and  26  of the two nipples  10  and  13  are compressed by the collar skirt  21  of collar  17  to container  20 . Straw terminates at point  29 . 
     FIG. 7 illustrates two bottles  33  as one of the present invention. This embodiment allows baby to decide as to what fluids or foods to consume at times during feeding. Mothers, not being at fault,are mislead at babies demand for different fluids such as water. A lot of populus do not drink water and thus forgetting water is very common; this gives mothers to dispense both foods and water conveniently. Solid thin handles  30  enable baby to grip bottle, as dexterity is one of the first means of brain development. Prior art bottles with large hollow handles make cleaning of interior of bottles difficult. The large size of prior art handles make it next to impossible for baby&#39;s hands to grasp. Mind keys  31  enable baby to see different shapes, feel different shapes with its tongue and feel different shapes with its fingers. The fingers, mouth and tongue are the first means of awareness as baby&#39;s mind develops. On mind keys  31  different figures  32  can be produced to further enhance mind development as baby&#39;s eyes begin to focus on different colors and illustrations. The ring split  36  on mind keys  31  of the present invention requires adult strength to remove and replace different modes of mind keys for mind development. A common key chain  37  is another means of attaching mind key for mind exercises. 
     FIG. 8 illustrates nipples of two types for mind development of the present invention. Nipple  35  focuses on a soft protrusion and nipple focuses on a bold protrusion. The two nipples  34  and  35  let baby be aware of different structures because baby&#39;s first curiosity mode is its mouth. Later as child ages and starts to develop teeth, protrusion  34 , according to this invention will act as a teething tool. Nipple  38  and  39  are solid nipples with a tapered hole through the center of it. Hole  11  is at the base and then terminates with the smaller hole at the top of the nipple. The tapered hole provides easy cleanability and/or being made out of an inexpensive plastic such as polyethylene may be discarded after each use. The hole at the top of the nipple is large enough to accept a cleaning tool such as a small nipple brush. The semi-solid teething nipple  38  and  39  of the present invention helps prevent baby from biting off the top portion of the nipple due to the structure I have invented. Nipples of prior art are very thin-walled and are easily bitten off during the teething stage of development causing choking and even death. Baffle  41  is molded along with nipples  38  and  39  and is so attached by “living hinge”  40 . The baffle is punctured  42  as to restrict the flow of the liquids of the container. This baffle is necessary due to the large cleanable hole at the top of the teething nipple. Baffle  41  can also be cut to hold and secure a common drinking straw of any diameter as illustrated in plain view of nipple  38 . Nipple  39  illustrates the nipple in the molded position.  40  is “Living hinge”. 
     On FIG. 9 the straw  43  of the present invention enables mother to pull the straw to a desired length. If the straw is too long tip  44  will allow the end of straw to follow the contour of the bottles bottom and corners.
