The device of the present invention includes a compact baby bottle attachment. The device of the present invention is a pod that is functional as a cap to a baby bottle, a storage container for powdered formula, and a dispenser for powdered formula. The device is removably attachable to conventional baby bottles and eases the baby feeding process by storing powdered formula separately from the water reservoir, sealing the powdered formula compartment with a ring plug, and including a nip housing depression to ensure the nip is erect and ready to feed upon removal of the pod.

A cup or container assembly having a lip activated input feature. The lip activated feature permits removal of the contents from the cup or container while mitigating against leaks and/or spills. The lid includes a movable member and a baffle. The cup assembly is constructed to have streamlined assembly method due to a reduced number of parts needing separation and/or improved connecting features. The improved geometry of lid components lends to heightened ease of cleaning.

A breast pump (1) comprises a cup member (2) and a container (3). The cup member (2) has a breast engaging portion (4) configured to seal to a breast. The container (3) is configured to be removably and sealingly connected to the cup member (2). The container (3) is configured to be deformed by a user and released to create suction on the breast to pump breast milk into the container (3). A breast pump (1) and feeding kit for pumping, storing and feeding breast milk is also disclosed. The kit comprises a deformable container (3) which may be attached to one of a cup member (2), a teat (18), or a lid (32). The teat (18) is configured to feed breast milk from the container (3) to a baby. The lid (32) is configured to secure the breast milk in the container for storage.

Apparatus and system for mixing and dispensing accurately pre-measured powdered material. The apparatus comprising of a cap, a dispensing teat or similar, a screw down top with a fixed or removable plate insert, a powder keg and a bottle or similar, together with a system, wherein by rotating a screw down top with a fixed or removable plate insert engages a pre-sealed powder keg containing accurately pre-measured powdered material which acts to open and release the accurately pre-measured powdered material into a volume of liquid or similar.

The present disclosure relates to a smart bottle and a method of controlling the same. The smart bottle includes a bottle for containing liquid and a base that is disposed under the bottle and includes an elastic body that is elastically deformed by the weight of the bottle and the base, a weight measurement sensor disposed above the elastic body and measuring the weight of the bottle by measuring a pressure that the elastic body transfers in a vertical direction from the ground as a reaction to gravity, and a controller that measures the amount of fed milk based on the change in the weight measured by the weight measurement sensor.

A device for heating and concomitantly administering a liquid includes a body having at opposite ends a base and a neck connectable to liquid suction means, and liquid heating means. The body has an inner housing configured to receive and completely enclose a liquid container. The inner housing has fluidic connection means. The neck has one or more tubes adapted to fluidically connect the fluidic connection means to the liquid suction means. The liquid heating means are adapted to heat at least partially the one or more tubes, and the fluidic connection means have one or more sharp spouts for puncturing of a predetermined region of the liquid container and for fluidic connection to the liquid container. A liquid container and a sanitizing system of the device are also provided.

A dispensing cap comprising a grasping body, a spout engaging bore and a dispensing coupling. The dispensing coupling has a dispensing cap coupled thereto through a tether. A pouch assembly is likewise disclosed, as is a process of enteral feeding with a pouch and a dispensing cap attachable to the spout. The dispensing cap can be provided and attached to a spout of a pouch (upon removal of a filling cap) wherein the dispensing cap may be provided in a sterilized bag or pouch prior to use. Methods and processes are likewise disclosed.

A container including at least one connection opening and at least one connection part, wherein grooves and engaging elements are provided as interacting connection elements to connect the container and the connection part, and in the connected state a respective engaging element is arranged in a receiving portion of a groove, which receiving portion is arranged substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the container, wherein the container and the connection part have run-on elements with run-on surfaces which run obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container, which run-on surfaces interact by means of rotational movement between the container and the connection part, in such a way that the engaging elements can be moved out of the receiving portion of the respective groove and, in a rotated position, the engaging connection between the container and the connection part is released.

A nut for ensuring compatibility of a nipple having an anti-colic valve affixed to a baby bottle having a bottom vent and a mouth; the nut comprises a flange which has a central opening for receiving the nipple extending therethrough, the central opening has an edge configured to engage in an annular groove of the nipple, the nipple also comprises a flange; the nut comprises means for inhibiting the anti-colic valve which comprise: a first annular rib formed on the inner surface of the flange, which is configured to abut the flange of the nipple between the anti-colic valve and the edge of the central opening of the flange, a second rib, concentric with the first rib, which is configured to provide a hydraulic seal between the flange of the nipple and the mouth of the baby bottle, a depression interposed between the first rib and the second rib, which is configured to abut against the anti-colic valve of the nipple when the nut and the nipple are coupled together and are applied to a baby bottle to inhibit the anti-colic valve.

A dispensing cap comprising a grasping body, a spout engaging bore and a dispensing coupling. The dispensing coupling has a dispensing cap coupled thereto through a tether. A pouch assembly is likewise disclosed, as is a process of enteral feeding with a pouch and a dispensing cap attachable to the spout. The dispensing cap can be provided and attached to a spout of a pouch (upon removal of a filling cap) wherein the dispensing cap may be provided in a sterilized bag or pouch prior to use. Methods and processes are likewise disclosed.
