Abstract
The system includes at least one infrared light intensity sensor positioned on substrate to measure infrared light incident from a baby's stomach during a feeding. The infrared light is provided by an infrared light source. An initial intensity of infrared light incident from the human stomach is measured at the beginning of the feeding. A feeding intensity of infrared light incident from the human stomach is measured at the end of the feeding. The ratio of these infrared intensity measurements are used to calculate a value for the volume ingested into the human stomach during the feeding. The infrared light intensity measurements can be taken continuously to provide a real-time report of how the feeding is progressing, such as to a parent or doctor. The light source and sensor can be incorporated into an article of clothing to provide non-invasive measurements that do not physically obstruct the feeding.
