An object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nipple in which a nipple tip section can sufficiently reach the sucking fossa and can be appropriately squashed, so that a nursing operation can reliably take place in that state, and to provide also a nursing container that uses the artificial nipple. The artificial nipple is a molded product made of an elastic material such as a soft resin and configured overall as a substantially conical hollow body, and has a base section 21 that widens to match an attachment object; an areola section 22 that is formed contiguously to the base section and that extends while narrowing gradually; and a nipple section 23 that extends from the areola section and that narrows more than the areola section. A flange section 41 provided in the base section has a predetermined thickness. A check valve 44, which is formed with a valve body so as to be entirely accommodated within the thickness dimension of the flange, is provided in the base section. |
