A preferred embodiment of the container includes a longitudinal tube filled an preferably presealed with a chilled nontoxic liquid such as frozen ice water. The tube is then inserted into a baby bottle and is supported within the bottle by a base rim which is located in the area between the top of the mouth of the bottle and the bottle cap. The base rim can include through holes for allowing baby bottle formula such as milk and the like to flow to the nipple portion of the bottle. Optionally, the base rim can include a rubber type plug to seal the holes and prevent the formula in the bottle from spilling outside the bottle. The elongated insert tube can be sized longer for large bottles and alternatively curve shaped for use with bottles that have a center through hole for gripping the bottle.
