A nursing bottle for automatically rinsing a baby's teeth by independently dispensing first and second liquids, includes a nursing bottle having a nipple, a rinsing device having a dispensing end and a buoyant valve attached to the dispensing end for retaining the second liquid within the rinsing device while the nursing bottle receives the first liquid. The valve retains the second liquid within the rinsing device when the bottle is at least substantially inverted due to a buoyant force produced by the valve against the dispensing end. The buoyant force of the valve is greater than the force of gravity which acts on the valve until the first liquid is substantially dispensed from the bottle. After which, the force of gravity overcomes the buoyant force of the valve and the valve is pulled towards the nipple by the force of gravity. As a result, the valve automatically releases the second liquid from the rinsing device and into the nipple to rinse the baby's teeth.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A nursing bottle for automatically rinsing a baby's teeth, comprising:a bottle for storing a first liquid having an open end for receiving said first liquid and a second closed end;a rinsing device defining a container for storing a second liquid, the rinsing device having a dispensing end positioned in said bottle to dispense said second liquid through said open end of said bottle;a nipple mounted on said open end of said bottle to receive said first and second liquids from said open end and to dispense said first and second liquids through a discharge hole of said nipple; anda valve positioned at said dispensing end of said rinsing device, the valve comprising:an outer surface on said dispensing end defining at least one dispensing hole in fluid communication with said container;a stop member; anda buoyant member movable from a first position covering said at least one dispensing hole, to a second position wherein said at least one dispensing hole is at least partially uncovered, the valve for releasably retaining said second liquid within said container when said bottle is at least substantially inverted, whereby, when said bottle is at least substantially inverted, said buoyant member is submerged in said first liquid such that a buoyant force directed towards said closed end of said bottle holds the buoyant member in said first position against said stop member until said first liquid is substantially dispensed from said bottle, whereupon said buoyant member is released from the buoyant force and falls toward said second position, thereby at least partially uncovering said at least one dispenser hole to release said second liquid from said rinsing device into said nipple from which said second liquid can be dispensed through the discharge hole to rinse the baby's teeth.
