1. A system for feeding reinforcement, the system comprising:
at least one audio sensor configured to generate audio data;
a control system configured to analyze the audio data to identify one or more feeding events;
a speaker configured to render audio content; and
a control switch movable between at least a first position and a second position,
wherein when the control switch is in the first position, the control system is configured to:
cause the at least one audio sensor to generate audio data associated with sound occurring while the control switch is in the first position;
analyze the audio data to determine whether the one or more feeding events occurred;
in response to determining that the one or more feeding events occurred, cause the speaker to render the audio content; and
in response to determining that the one or more feeding events did not occur, prevent the speaker from rendering the audio content, and
wherein when the control switch is in the second position, the control system causes the speaker to render the audio content regardless of whether the control system determines that any feeding events occurred.
