Abstract:
A device is set forth providing an apparatus for soothing an infant for use particularly during a teething period of time. The apparatus includes an elliptical forwardly extending nipple directed forwardly of a concave support base, with a rattle member directed rearwardly thereof. The rattle member may alternatively utilize an internally threaded boss to enable filling of the nipple with various liquids for consumption by an infant, with a rattle threadedly received within an internally threaded boss. The rattle is replaceable by a whistle to provide an audible member to replace the mechanical rattle. An alternative construction utilizes a multi-compartmented nipple provided with discrete chambers associated with discrete fill plugs mounted rearwardly of the support member to provide a selective mixture of foods and medicines and the like for ingestion by the infant.
