Vented, low-drip nursing nipple

A nipple assembly for a nursing bottle includes a nipple having a slit at the bottom of a concave depression in its tip acting as a fluid outlet valve. The nipple includes a flange seated on the rim of the bottle and held in place by a cap having a central opening through which the nipple extends. A threaded ring on the cap engages the threaded bottle neck with the outer circumferential edge of the nipple's flange compressed between the annular top and the rim of the bottle. The nipple flange includes vent apertures between its inner and outer circumferential edges, and a raised annular bead between its inner circumferential edge and the aperture. The annular bead provides a seal between flange and the cap that prevents fluid from leaking out the vent apertures when air pressure within the bottle is not substantially lower than ambient air pressure. When the air pressure inside the bottle falls below ambient air pressure as the infant suck fluid from the bottle, the annular bead moves away from the cap to break the seal, thereby permitting air to pass through the central opening and into the bottle via the vent apertures. The nipple includes one or more raised annular beads to provide tactile stimulation to a nursing infant and to improve the seal between the infant's lips and the nipple body to limit fluid leakage.
