Feeding bottle (10) comprising a neck to which a teat (14) is attached, characterized in that it comprises at least two visual marks (20, 22) located on one and the same circumference near the neck or near the teat and separated from one another about the axis of the feeding bottle, one of these marks (20) defining an angular position of the feeding bottle (10) about its axis for which the other mark (22) indicates a point through which the free surface (24) of the liquid contained in the feeding bottle needs to pass in order for the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid at an outlet orifice (16) of the teat (14) to be substantially zero.

1. A feeding bottle system comprising: a feeding bottle comprising an elongated body with a central longitudinal axis, and a neck configured for mounting a nipple thereto; andat least two positioning marks, comprising:a central mark (20) configured for orienting an angular position of the bottle around its central axis so that the central mark (20) faces upwards during feeding; anda first side mark (22A) configured in such a way as to guide a user to incline the bottle relative to the horizontal until an optimum inclination is reached where a free surface of a liquid inside the bottle simultaneously passes through both the first side mark (22A) and an outlet orifice of a nipple mounted on the neck, thereby causing a hydrostatic pressure of the liquid at the outlet orifice to be substantially zero; and further comprising a nipple crown for mounting a nipple to the neck of the feeding bottle; wherein the positioning marks are formed or printed on the nipple crown; and wherein the central mark (20) is disposed on the nipple crown (defining a vertical reference line passing through the central mark); and wherein the nipple crown further comprises three pairs of side positioning marks: a first pair of side marks (22A, 22B), a second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′), and a third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″), disposed on at least a side face of the nipple crown; and wherein the three side marks (22A, 22A′, 22A″) are also mirrored symmetrically as three paired side marks (22B, 22B′, 22B″) paired respectively across the vertical reference plane on an opposite side of the nipple crown; and further wherein: the first pair of side marks (22A, 22B) comprises a single line or bump/ridge; the second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′) comprises two closely-spaced parallel lines or bumps/ridges; and the third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″) comprises three closely-spaced parallel lines or bumps/ridges. 2. The feeding bottle system of claim 1, further comprising the label “100%” printed on the nipple crown next to the first pair of side marks (22A, 22B); the label “50%” printed on the nipple crown next to the second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′); and the label “25%” printed on the nipple crown next to the third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″). 3. The feeding bottle system of claim 1, wherein the second side mark (22A′) is located at an angular separation between the central mark (20) and the second side mark (22A′) of approximately 45 degrees. 4. The feeding bottle system of claim 1, wherein each positioning mark comprises one or more lines or bumps/ridges that are printed or formed on both the side and front faces of the nipple crown; and wherein each line or bump/ridge wraps-around the side and front faces of the nipple crown in a continuous, unbroken manner. 5. The feeding bottle system of claim 1, wherein the nipple crown is transparent or substantially transparent. 6. The feeding bottle system of claim 1, further comprising a unidirectional air intake valve recessed in the body of the bottle; and wherein the valve forms the central mark (20) for guiding the angular positioning of the feeding bottle around its central axis. 7. A calibrated nipple crown, comprising a standard nipple crown that has been modified to comprise: a central mark (20) disposed on the nipple crown, defining a vertical reference plane passing through the central mark (20); andthree pairs of side positioning marks: a first pair of side marks (22A, 22B), a second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′), and a third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″) disposed on at least a side face of the nipple crown; wherein the three side marks (22A, 22A′, 22A″) are also mirrored symmetrically as three paired side marks (22B, 22B′, 22B″) paired respectively across the vertical reference plane onto an opposite side of the nipple crown; andfurther wherein: the first pair of side marks (22A, 22B) comprises a single line or bump/ridge; the second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′) comprises two closely-spaced parallel lines or bumps/ridges; and the third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″) comprises three closely-spaced parallel lines or bumps/ridges; and wherein the nipple crown further comprises: the label “100%” printed on the nipple crown next to the first pair of side marks (22A, 22B);the label “50%” printed on the nipple crown next to the second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′); andthe label “25%” printed on the nipple crown next to the third pair of side marks (22A″, 22B″). 8. The feeding bottle system of claim 7, wherein each one of the second pair of side marks (22A′, 22B′) is located at an angular separation between the central mark (20) and said second side mark of approximately 45 degrees. 9. The feeding bottle system of claim 7, wherein each positioning mark comprises one or more line or bump/ridge that is printed or formed on both the side and front faces of the nipple crown; and wherein each line or bump/ridge wraps-around the side and front faces of the nipple crown in a continuous, unbroken manner.
