A nipple device that electronically measures the flow of milk drawn by a baby through its feeding orifice. The device measures milk flow from a differential pressure generated by the flow of milk through a fluid flow resistor. The resistor may be located in a peripheral area of ​​the base of the nipple device, and milk is transported to and from the resistor by a passage in the base unit. The differential pressure generated across the resistor is measured using a peripherally located pressure sensor. The pressure sensor and associated electronics may be incorporated into a flow measurement head that is attachable to the base unit of the device through a standard pair of fluid ports to which other heads can be attached for other measurements of milk properties. According to another implementation, the pressure difference across the feeding orifice is used to increase the accuracy of the nipple device for flow measurement purposes.
