Abstract
An improved nipple member for an infant nursing system includes a nursing portion that is formed of a first material and a mounting flange portion that is formed of a second material. The nursing portion is preferably transparent, while the mounting flange portion is color coded to indicate a design flowrate or a type of beverage that the nipple member is designed to dispense. The first material is preferably harder than the second material, which makes the nipple member harder to pull out of an infant nursing system during use. A method of making a nipple member is also disclosed.
