Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to bottles that are configured to undergo a controlled collapse in response to pressure being placed on the front and rear walls manually by a user, vacuum forces acting inside the bottle during a tube feeding process, or both. The bottles include a rigid hanging element that is molded into an access channel provided on the base of the bottle, such that the top and sides of the hanging element are fixedly connected with a surface of the container. Due to the presence of the hanging element, the bottle includes hinge lines focus the collapse in the central area of the bottle between the hanging element and the shoulder of the bottle. Accordingly, the present bottles provide both a rigid hanging element and walls that collapse in a controlled manner.
