Abstract

Abstract A baby feeding device allows the bottle feeding of a baby without the constant attention of the mother. The baby feeding device comprises: a bed having a mattress, a bottle holding device communicating with the bed, a mechanism for tilting the bed, and a safety belt for holding the baby in a fixed position on the mattress. The bed consists of a one piece plastic molded body having four telescopic legs. The one piece molded body can also be used as a bath tub. The mattress has a horizontally placed section with an upwardly inclined end section. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION My invention relates to a unique and novel device for feeding a baby, wherein the constant attention of the mother is not required. A plurality of U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,251,626; 3,289,986; 3,298,649; and 3,584,818 for baby feeding devices are non-related to my present invention. An object of my present invention is to provide a means for feeding a bottle to a baby laying in a bed. A further object of my present invention is to provide a bed unit that also functions as a bath tub. A still further object of my present invention is to provide a mattress that confines the baby to the center of the mattress, wherein the baby's head is tilted upward. Another object of my present invention is to provide a means whereby the head end of the bed can be tilted upward. Briefly, my present invention comprises: a bed having a mattress, a bottle holding device communicating with the bed, a mechanism for tilting the bed, and a safety belt for holding the baby in a fixed position on the mattress. The bed consists of a one piece plastic molded body having four telescopic legs. The one piece molded body can also be used as a bath tub. The mattress has a horizontally placed section with an upwardly inclined end section.
