Abstract: Disclosed herein is a footstool for use in conjunction with nursing or bottle feeding an infant. The footstool provides stable support for a mother seated while feeding or holding her baby. The footstool includes a skid resistant surface and rubber stud means for preventing the tilting and shifting of the platform while the mother is seated during the nursing of her child. The invention is especially designed so that the legs which support the inclined platform do not substantially extend outward from under the platform, allowing the entire frame to be more rigid and less susceptible to tilting which otherwise would occur when a force is applied to opposite edges of the footstool in the normal course of its use.
