A nipple device for electronically measuring flow of milk drawn by an infant through its feeding orifices. The device measures milk flow from the differential pressure generated by the milk flow through a fluid flow resistor. The resistor may be located in the peripheral region of the base of the nipple device, and milk conveyed to and from the resistor by means of passageways in the base unit. The differential pressure generated across the resistor is measured using pressure sensors located at the periphery. The pressure sensors and associated electronic circuits may be incorporated into a flow measuring head, attachable to the base unit of the device through a standard pair of fluid ports, to which can be attached heads for other measurements of the milk properties. Other implementations provide increased accuracy for nipple devices using the pressure difference across the feeding orifices for the flow measurement.
