This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/209,062, filed Aug. 24, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety as if fully recited herein.Infants are typically fed pureed foods with a spoon by his/her caregiver or parent before moving on to solid food. Spoon-feeding, however, often results in much of the baby food over the infant's face and clothes and not in his/her mouth.Attempts to address this problem have included use of a spoon with a hollow core to feed baby food at a more controlled rate, a mesh bag that allows the baby to chew on solid food without the risk of choking, and a squeezable bottle with a spoon attachment for easy feeding. However, each of these solutions has its own apparent drawbacks.
