A variable flow infant feeding assembly is designed so that a caregiver can select an optimal feeding flow rate without having to change nipples, as may be desired depending upon the age and appetite of the infant as well as the liquid that is being dispensed. Preferably, the assembly includes a baby bottle and a nipple member (14) that has ventilation structure (24,26,28) defined therein for permitting replacement air to enter the baby bottle during feeding. Retention structure such as a threaded ring member is provided for securing the nipple member to the baby bottle. Advantageously, variable restrictor structure (44,46,48) is provided, preferably so as to be integral with the ring member, for selectively blocking at least a portion of the ventilation structure. By controlling the size of the opening through which replacement air flows into the baby bottle, the variable restrictor structure permits the feeding flow rate through the nipple member to be adjusted by a caregiver.

Un ensemble biberon à écoulement variable est conçu de façon qu'une nourrice puisse sélectionner une vitesse d'écoulement optimale sans avoir à changer de tétine, vitesse d'écoulement telle que souhaitée en fonction de l'âge, de l'appétit du nourrisson ainsi que du liquide distribué. Une structure de retenue telle qu'une bague filetée permet de fixer la tétine au biberon. Une structure de limitation variable (44, 46, 48), de préférence intégrée avec la bague, permet de sélectivement bloquer au moins une partie de la structure de ventilation. Par la commande de la taille de l'ouverture par laquelle le remplacement d'air s'écoule dans le biberon, la structure de limitation variable permet de régler la vitesse d'écoulement de l'aliment par la tétine.
