An infant bottle with a collapsing insert comprises a cylindrical bottle providing a vertically-positionable supporting platform which acts upon the insert to remove trapped air prior to feeding. The bottle also comprises conventional portions including a cylindrical body, a threaded top opening, a nipple, an attachment ring, and a sanitary cap. The supporting platform is vertically moveable within the interior of the bottle being positioned and locked into position via a pair of spring-loaded buttons which protrude from opposing side surfaces. A user may depress the buttons, vertically relocate the supporting platform to remove trapped air, and lock said supporting platform in position by releasing the buttons.

1. A baby feeding apparatus comprising: a bottle assembly comprising: a body having a base portion, further comprising: a plurality of slots formed therein;a pair of integral locking posts located within said body and having “U”-shapes respectively; and,a plurality of locking apertures formed within an internal surface of said body, said locking apertures arranged along opposed side edges of said slots respectively;wherein said locking posts are insertingly engaged with respective ones of said locking apertures;an adjustable platform located within said body;a plurality of locking buttons engaged with said body and said adjustable platform in such a manner that said adjustable platform is selectively locked within said body; and,a collapsible insert supported on said adjustable platform and positioned within said body in such a manner that said collapsible insert is compressed within said body when said adjustable platform is incrementally raised above said base portion;wherein said locking buttons are spring-biased outwardly through said slots; and,wherein inward displacement of said locking buttons freely moves said adjustable platform along a vertical path within said body and thereby expels air from said collapsible insert. 2. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 1, wherein said adjustable platform comprises an upwardly domed profile. 3. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a nipple having a nipple flange portion; wherein said collapsible insert includes a first insert flange disposed along an upper perimeter edge thereof, said nipple flange portion be stacked on said first insert flange. 4. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 1, wherein said adjustable platform further comprises: a subjacent and indented platform support member provided with a plurality of spring posts slidingly inserted into said locking buttons; and,a plurality of springs positioned about said spring posts thereby biasing said locking buttons in an outward direction and causing said spring posts to forcibly engage said locking apertures respectively;wherein said spring posts extend outwardly from said platform support member. 5. A baby feeding apparatus comprising: a bottle assembly comprising: a body having a base portion, further comprising: a plurality of slots formed therein;a pair of integral locking posts located within said body and having “U”-shapes respectively; and,a plurality of locking apertures formed within an internal surface of said body, said locking apertures arranged along opposed side edges of said slots respectively;wherein said locking posts are insertingly engaged with respective ones of said locking apertures;an adjustable platform slidably located within said body;a plurality of locking buttons engaged with said body and said adjustable platform in such a manner that said adjustable platform is vertically positioned and selectively locked within said body; and,a collapsible insert supported on said adjustable platform and positioned within said body in such a manner that said collapsible insert is compressed within said body when said adjustable platform is incrementally raised above said base portion;wherein said locking buttons are spring-biased outwardly through said slots; and,wherein inward displacement of said locking buttons freely moves said adjustable platform along a vertical path within said body and thereby expels air from said collapsible insert. 6. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 5, wherein said adjustable platform comprises an upwardly domed profile. 7. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 5, further comprising: a nipple having a nipple flange portion; wherein said collapsible insert includes a first insert flange disposed along an upper perimeter edge thereof, said nipple flange portion be stacked on said first insert flange. 8. The baby feeding apparatus of claim 5, wherein said adjustable platform further comprises: a subjacent and indented platform support member provided with a plurality of spring posts slidingly inserted into said locking buttons; and,a plurality of springs positioned about said spring posts thereby biasing said locking buttons in an outward direction and causing said spring posts to forcibly engage said locking apertures respectively;wherein said spring posts extend outwardly from said platform support member.
