Abstract
A holder assembly, for use with disposable baby feeding bottle liners, includes a holder having a longitudinal slot (12) and a member. The member has a disk and a finger-operated attachment (28) joined to the disk at a single location. The attachment engages the longitudinal slot to mount the disk slidably within the holder. The attachment is readily adapted to assembly and disassembly. The holder, preferably, has a dual set of markings (50, 60) for determining the volume of liquid entering into the liner and the volume of liquid remaining in the liner as the baby is feeding.
