Abstract

See full text

An improved feeding utensil which includes a container for liquid and a soft spoon shaped feeding portion which receives liquid from the container for feeding, such as for feeding an infant. A preferred embodiment has a one-way valve which functions to allow liquid to flow out from the container into a liquid delivery element, the latter including a reservoir portion for temporarily storing liquid that has passed from the container through the one-way valve, and a spoon shaped feeding portion adapted for feeding the liquid received from the reservoir portion. The liquid delivery element is constructed of soft plastic material or natural or synthetic rubber material. The flexibility of this material facilitates metering of the liquid and also provides a familiar textured feeding cup for inserting into the mouth that is being fed.
