In the American baby-shower game Baby Bottle, guests race to drink from baby bottles.

Baby-shower games are informal activities designed to involve guests in the celebration. In the Baby Bottle game, participants are commonly given baby bottles filled with a drink and compete to finish them. The narrow nipples make the task slower than drinking from an ordinary cup, which creates the game’s humorous challenge.

Recipes and rules vary. Some hosts use juice, soda, or another nonalcoholic drink, and some organize the game as a timed contest. Because the activity is a party game rather than a formal ritual, there is no single universally standardized version.

Baby showers in the United States often combine games with food, gifts, decorations, and advice for the expectant parent. Game traditions also change over time: hosts may adapt them for mixed-age groups, guests with disabilities, or participants who do not want competitive activities.
