A nursing nipple unit is disclosed which is readily portable by itself without being attached to a fluid supply and is adapted to be affixed to commonly sold water bottles or the like. The unit has a funnel member with a nursing orifice at one end and a flanged base at the other. A skirt attached to the base forms a socket which fits over the spout of a commercially available water bottle or similar container. A cable tie or comparable fastener may be wrapped around or through the skirt to draw it tightly around the spout.
