New Infant Nursing Bottle With Angled Neck

Abstract

The supine position of the infant during bottle feeding results in forced feeding and causes the infant to strangle, gulp and swallow air. This produces crying, colic and chronic spitting. Positional otitis media requiring surgery also may develop in the infant fed in a supine position. An angled-neck nurser has been developed which allows the proper upright position of the infant during feeding. This nurser allows the infant to be held in a position comparable to that in breast feeding.
