An improved disposable liquid container adapted for infant nursing is provided for maintaining nursing liquid in a sterile or aseptic condition until dispensed therefrom. Rigid penetrating means carried by a semirigid support member penetrate a compartment closing diaphragm to allow nursing liquid to flow from the compartment to a communicating, attached nipple. The semirigid support member is integral with the liquid compartment and substantially preserves its shape as the fluid is dispensed therefrom. Flexible walls of the container are allowed to collapse together as the fluid is dispensed to prevent excessive ingestion of air by a nursing infant. The attached nipple is maintained in a clean, uncontaminated, sterile, or aseptic condition until use by means of separable sealing tabs or a discardable cover. Additional embodiments provide a flexible container which may safely be placed upright on cannula adjacent said generally sharpened tip portion to allow fluid to flow through said flow passageway when said tip portion penetrates said penetrable means.
