Abstract: A self-paced, ergonomic feeding bottle with a substantially-straight back sidewall and an “S”-shaped curved front sidewall; where the curved front sidewall comprises two sections: (1) a convex chest section near the top, and (2) a concave handle section near the bottom, comprising a concave crook and a thin waist. The top-heavy bottle has a single plane of symmetry located between the right and left hand sides of the bottle. An anti-vacuum valve can be inserted into a vent hole. Side positioning markers can be used to achieve zero hydrostatic pressure during use. Anti-roll pads are part of the front sidewall.

Abstract: A feeding system comprising a spoon body having a concave feeding portion surrounded by an upper elliptical edge, a longitudinal handle having a pair of opposite ends, one end of the handle being attached to the spoon body and the other end of the handle constituting a first connector, and a compressible reservoir adapted to contain a predetermined quantity of food therein and having a second connector thereon engageable with the first connector, a passageway extending from the concave portion of the spoon body longitudinally through the handle and to the first connector so as to provide fluid communication between the spoon body and the reservoir, whereby, upon application of compressive force in said reservoir, a portion of the food is forced through the connectors, through the passageway, and into the interior of the spoon body.
