Instrumented infant feeding bottle

A feeding bottle comprising:

• a bottle enclosure defining a feeding outlet at a first end and an attachment structure at a second end;
• a bottom housing defining an instrument compartment extending between a closed exterior portion of the bottom housing and a separation surface within the bottom housing, wherein the bottom housing is configured for detachable connection to the attachment structure of the bottle enclosure;
• a computer within the instrument compartment comprising at least a processor and memory storing computer executable software therein;
• a relief valve positioned within the separation surface of the bottom housing;
• a pressure sensor positioned adjacent the separation surface of the bottom housing and connected by a passageway to the instrument compartment in the bottom housing;
• a liner between the bottle enclosure and the pressure sensor, wherein the liner separates the pressure sensor from a fluid in the bottle enclosure;
• at least one actuator controlled by the computer and connected to the bottle enclosure to control a rate of fluid discharge at the feeding outlet according to the software;
• wherein the pressure sensor is configured to detect changes of pressure in the bottle enclosure for synchronizing the rate of fluid discharge produced by the actuator.

A feeding bottle system comprising:

• a bottle enclosure defining a hollow bottle chamber, wherein the enclosure defines a feeding outlet at a first end and an attachment structure at a second end;
• a bottom housing defining an instrument compartment extending between a closed exterior portion of the bottom housing and a separation surface within the bottom housing, wherein the bottom housing is configured for detachable connection to the attachment structure of the bottle enclosure;
• a relief valve positioned within the separation surface of the bottom housing;
• a pressure sensor positioned adjacent the separation surface of the bottom housing and connected by a passageway to the instrument compartment in the bottom housing, wherein the pressure sensor is configured to detect changes of pressure in the bottle enclosure;
• a liner between the bottle enclosure and the pressure sensor;
• wherein the liner separates fluid in the hollow bottle chamber from the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is configured to detect changes of pressure in the bottle enclosure;
• a computer positioned within the instrument compartment and in data communication with the pressure sensor;
• at least one audiovisual accessory positioned proximately to the bottle enclosure and configured to collect environmental sensor data related to the bottle enclosure, wherein the audiovisual accessory is in electronic communication with the computer.
