## Abstract

An infant bottle feeding system is provided having a supported bottle holder for holding a feeding bottle. The bottle holder has a flat, elongated supporting base which can be placed underneath a supine infant for additional support. A flexible arm is retained by the supported base in an offset manner, thus allowing an infant roll to one side free of the base such that the infant is not trapped beneath the system. The flexible arm supports a bottle retaining clamp which holds a fluid storage vessel of the type conventionally used as infant feeding bottles. A flow restriction means is retained within a cap and away from the nipple, and both are then sealed to the opening of the storage vessel by the cap.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An infant feeding system comprising:
a. a base having a generally planar lower section adapted to be placed beneath a supine infant;
b. the lower section curving at one end only, substantially along the entire end to form a single, upwardly extended, c-shaped support, at least a portion of the c-shaped support extending inwardly over the lower section when the lower section is positioned horizontally;
c. a joint positioned longitudinally along the c-shaped support and configured to permit a distal portion of the c-shaped support to be slidingly separated from the base;
d. a flexible arm extending outwardly from the distal portion of the c-shaped support;
e. an infant bottle holding means at a distal end of the flexible arm; and
f. an infant bottle having a nipple and cap assembly, the infant bottle configured to be held by the infant bottle holding means.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The infant feeding system of claim 1, wherein the nipple and cap assembly comprises a flow restrictor and a one-way valve.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The infant feeding system of claim 1, wherein the infant bottle holding means comprises a c-shaped elongated clamp including raised gripping nodules on an inner surface of the clamp.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The infant feeding system of claim 1, further including a music generating means disposed on the c-shaped support.
