Abstract
Abstract There is herein disclosed a baby bottle that is adapted to be vacuum sealed having a main body formed as a bottle to receive liquid therein, the body being provided at its upper end with external threads and a removable sealed membrane which is adapted with a pull tab for removal from the main body. A cap is threadably secured to the external threads and is provided with an enlarged central opening therein to removably receive a nipple which is used by a baby for sucking the liquid out of the bottle when the membrane is removed therefrom. To protect the sterilized nipple from contamination, there is also included a sealed cover which is readily removed when the bottle is to be used.
