Abstract

A baby bottle and accessory holder having two cups, preferably constructed from fabric. The rims of the cups are supported adjacent to each other by a single length of rod stock bent in two circles, over which the cloth of each cup is positioned. An extension of the rod stock forms a support to assist in positioning the holder against a mounting surface. The extension works in cooperation with a strap, joined to the rod stock near the union of the two cups and the support, having a loop and hook material for securing the baby bottle and accessory holder to an object such as an arm of a chair, a car seat, a backpack, or a person'"'"'s belt.
