The present invention provides a hand feeding, natural, self-regulating nipple nutritional system and method of use for a baby animal which allows the baby animal to latch onto a surrogate feeding nipple in which the speed of flow of liquid and quantity of liquid, such as milk, is regulated comfortably by the animal. In particular, the invention provides a soft, flexible, highly porous material affixed to a liquid-dispensing vehicle, in which the porous material is saturated with, and serves as a reservoir for, the liquid so that any excess liquid not ingested remains in the porous material. The porous material includes a nipple protrusion at one end to which the baby animal latches onto and suckles from until it is satisfied. The nipple protrusion has a density that is greater than the density of the rest of the porous material, which contributes to the high absorbency of the porous material and closely mimics the feel of a mother's nipple. Thus, the device and method of the invention prevent choking, aspiration and risk of death in baby animals in need of nutritional support.
