Each device having longitudinally extending projections and recesses adapted to mate or nest together so that a plurality of such containers can be placed in side-by-side or stacked relationship for efficient space-saving storage or shipment. The devices can be filled with liquid nourishment from either end. The container has a substantially flat end surface so that the container can be placed standing in an upside down position and a cap closing a spout will assist in positioning the container. There is a handle having a first position whereby the container can be placed on a hook adjacent the patient. The handle has a second out-of-the-way position permitting the container to be placed in the upside down position.
