Abstract: A bib-like device for assisting in nursing a child and improving bonding between a parent and the child. The device includes a bib-like member made from a fabric, such as terry cloth, comfortable for the child. The device defined includes a generally mammary-shaped area defining a pouch therein for retaining a container of liquid, such as formula, milk, juice, or water for the child. The pouch is sized to receive the container therein and communicates with a opening in the fabric for permitting a nipple on the container to protrude therefrom. When worn by either parent, the device improves bonding between the child and parent, especially for the male, by anatomically simulating the female.
