According to a first embodiment, a nipple for a feeding bottle or a soother comprises a base portion, a teat portion, an areola portion and a flex region allowing flexing of the teat portion towards and away from the areola portion. According to a second embodiment, a nipple for a feeding bottle or soother is provided with a helical flow formation on the inner face of the teat, which allows continuous flow of liquid even when the teat is collapsed via the helical flow path which allows extension at the teat, in particular rotational or torsional extension.

1. A feeding bottle comprising: a) a nipple composed of silicone and having: a teat portion having a variable wall thickness including a flow valve,a base portion having a wall thickness in a domed configuration,an areola portion between the teat portion and the base portion,a slit air valve connected to the base portion wherein the slit valve extends generally transverse to the base portion and opens under negative pressure within the feeding bottle,a flange connected to the base portion,a center axis running through the center of the base portion and transverse to the base portion,the teat portion of the nipple having a circular symmetry around the center axis,at least a part of the wall thickness of the teat portion is thinner than the wall thickness of the domed configuration of the base of the nipple,the teat portion being capable of moving towards and away from the base portion in a plane generally transverse to the base portion, andwherein the nipple includes only one slit air valve;b) a vessel having: an open threaded top with a first diameter,a body with a second diameter and two side indentations,the body being connected with the open threaded top, andthe first diameter of the open threaded top being less than the second diameter of the body;c) a collar having: an internally threaded cylindrical portion,a downwardly domed peripheral portion surrounding and extending from the cylindrical portion, andthe internally threaded cylindrical portion being sized to mate with the open threaded top of the vessel; andd) the nipple being secured to the vessel with the flange of the nipple being captured between the collar and the open threaded top of the vessel. 2. The feeding bottle of claim 1 further comprising: a) a single unitary one-piece handle portion being removably secured to the vessel by the collar and having: a circular ring with two diametrically opposed immovable extending arm portions, andthe circular ring being sized to mount around the open threaded top of the vessel;b) the handle portion being mounted around the open threaded top of the vessel so that the two arms of the handle portion are aligned with the two side indentations of the vessel; andc) the handle portion being captured between the collar and the open threaded top of the vessel. 3. The feeding bottle of claim 1 wherein the nipple includes an external texture. 4. The feeding bottle of claim 1 wherein the thickest part of the teat portion has a thickness of about 1.8 mm. 5. A feeding bottle comprising: a) a nipple composed of silicone and having: a teat portion including a flow valve,a base portion having a domed configuration,only one air valve connected to the base portion, anda flange connected to the base portion,b) a vessel having: an open threaded top with a first diameter,a body with a second diameter and two side indentations,the body being connected with the open threaded top, andthe first diameter of the open threaded top being less than the second diameter of the body;c) a collar having: an internally threaded cylindrical portion,a downwardly domed peripheral portion surrounding and extending from the cylindrical portion, andthe internally threaded cylindrical portion being sized to mate with the open threaded top of the vessel; andd) a single unitary one-piece handle portion being removably secured to the vessel by the collar and having: a circular ring with two diametrically opposed immovable extending arm portions, andthe circular ring being sized to mount around the open threaded top of the vessel;the handle portion being mounted around the open threaded top of the vessel so that the two arms of the handle portion are aligned with the two side indentations of the vessel; andwherein the flange of the nipple and the handle portions are captured between the collar and the open threaded top of the vessel. 6. The feeding bottle of claim 5 wherein the teat portion further includes a helical groove. 7. The feeding bottle of claim 5 wherein the air valve is a slit air valve. 8. The feeding bottle of claim 1 wherein the teat portion further includes a helical groove. 9. The feeding bottle of claim 1 wherein the areola portion further includes undulating grooves.
