A baby bottle having a pressure-sensitive air valve, comprising: a baby bottle having a portion of the wall thereof removed; an air valve having a means for engagement thereof to said baby bottle, such that said air valve will enclose said portion of said baby bottle where said wall portion is removed, whereby said baby bottle will retain liquid upon the engagement of said air valve therewith; said air valve including a rigid valve housing and an air pressure-sensitive member, said air pressure-sensitive member being sealingly engaged within said housing and forming a wall of said baby bottle; said air pressure-sensitive member having at least one air hole formed therethrough to permit air to enter said baby bottle; portions of said air valve being formed as an air chamber, said air chamber being sealingly engaged to said air pressure-sensitive member proximate said air hole, whereby air passing through said air hole will enter said air chamber; a valve means being fixedly engaged to said air pressure-sensitive member and disposed for forming an airtight seal with portions of said valve housing; said air pressure-sensitive member including a thin-walled diaphragm; whereupon movement of said air pressure-sensitive member will cause disengagement of said valve means from said valve housing, whereupon air from said air chamber will enter said baby bottle.
