An apparatus for feeding an infant in a vertical position is described. The apparatus includes a shoulder support component and a flexible component. The shoulder support component generally has a U-shape with a first side disposed opposite a second side. The second side of the shoulder support component is configured to contact shoulders of a caregiver. The flexible component has a first end disposed opposite a second end. The first end of the flexible component is affixed to the first side of the shoulder support component and the second end includes a bottle holding portion that supports a bottle for feeding an infant in a vertical position.

A bottle holder, which is secured on a supporting surface, comprises a receiving base and a telescoping shaft inserted into the receiving base. A portion of the shaft is elastic, such that it can be flexed (bent and/or twisted) to a comfortable close position of the bottle, held by the bottled holder, to the user who will be consuming the bottle's contents, without the aid or assistance of another individual. When the user finishes drinking from the bottle and releases the bottle, the shaft springs (snaps) back to its initial, unbiased position, where the supported bottle is angled upwards in such a way that any contents left in the bottle will not spill.

The disclosure includes embodiments of an apparatus, a device, and methods to transform an infant feeding bottle into an infant gavage feeding apparatus. According to an embodiment, an infant gavage feeding apparatus can include an infant feeding bottle, a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a cord component. In another embodiment, an infant milk dual-delivery device to transform an infant feeding bottle to an alternate nipple feeding and gavage feeding apparatus includes a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a nipple receiving component. The gavage milk delivery component and the nipple receiving component can be positioned in a branched or a stacked configuration. The device can include a flow closure component and a controller to transition the milk flow for a gavage feeding and nipple feeding. The device can include a funnel to allow milk in the nipple to flow back into the infant feeding bottle.

A baby bottle system includes a collar configured to connect to a disposable water bottle, a nipple secured to the collar, and a dosing cap configured to connect to the collar and enclose the nipple. The collar includes a lower portion configured to engage the disposable water bottle and an upper portion attached to the lower portion, a base of the nipple being sandwiched between the upper portion and an upper end of the lower portion to secure the nipple to the collar.

System comprising of a simulating flow control breastfeeding where a tube linking a refillable housing chamber to a prosthetic nipple, an analyzing module linked to a sensor to determine a physical, physiological, or emotional state of the infant/user by mapping the received input parameter with a pre-stored set of parameters from the parameter store via the analyzing module and dynamically interact with the infant/user based on a determined output to promote a non-latching simulating breastfeeding experience to prevent bruised, sore nipples or engorged breasts.

An automatic feeding apparatus includes a bottle for holding liquid, a tube connected to the bottle, and a teat connected to the tube. A characterizing feature of the system is that the bottle has an air-intake mechanism adapted to release the liquid within the bottle through the tube to the teat.

The disclosure includes a device made of a lightweight plastic that will hook around the neck like a hanger, releasing with very little force to prevent injury. The device hangs down the front of the body to form a loop for stability. Down the center will be a retractable feeding tube holder arm that can adjust 180 degrees up and down and left to right, and lock-in any position in-between on a universal joint. The arm also will have a quick release to avoid injury. The arm will have an alternating clip to attach to variable size tubes as needed. This will allow for everyday support and hands free interaction with the tube. A pair of support arms terminate in a support pad each and attach to the universal joint. A method of supporting a gastric tube on a patient via the device is also disclosed.
