APPARATUS, DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR INFANT GAVAGE FEEDING
The disclosure includes embodiments of an apparatus, a device, and methods to transform an infant feeding bottle into an infant gavage feeding apparatus. According to an embodiment, an infant gavage feeding apparatus can include an infant feeding bottle, a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a cord component. In another embodiment, an infant milk dual-delivery device to transform an infant feeding bottle to an alternate nipple feeding and gavage feeding apparatus includes a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a nipple receiving component. The gavage milk delivery component and the nipple receiving component can be positioned in a branched or a stacked configuration. The device can include a flow closure component and a controller to transition the milk flow for a gavage feeding and nipple feeding. The device can include a funnel to allow milk in the nipple to flow back into the infant feeding bottle.
Apparatus for Holding Baby Bottles
An apparatus is utilized to position and hold a baby bottle on a chest and/or stomach of an infant. Apparatus includes a body having a front section, a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall, and a bottom section. A channel positioned within the body and extending through the front section is utilized for receiving a baby bottle. The channel is positioned at an angle in relation to the bottom section in order to properly position the baby bottle in relation to an infant's mouth.
Hands-free Adjustable Bib for Securing a Container
A hands-free adjustable bib includes a bib, a support plate, a pair of hand shaped holders, and a container adjustment assembly. The pair of hand shaped holders is adjustably connected to the container adjustment assembly. The container adjustment assembly is adjustably mounted to the support plate, opposite of the pair of hand shaped holders. The support plate, which functions as a platform for the pair of hand shaped holders and the container adjustment assembly, is connected to a chest portion of the bib so that the pair of hand shaped holders can be extended towards a neck loop of the bib. Consequently, the pair of hand shaped holders secures a container while the neck loop secures the bib the user's neck.
ADJUSTABLE BABY SELF FEEDING PILLOW
In some embodiments, an apparatus for supporting a feeding device for an infant is provided. In some examples, an apparatus comprising a body and feeding device support structure is provided. A body and feeding device support structure may comprise one or more pieces of fabric, the one or more pieces of fabric are attached by one or more seams. The feeding device support structure may comprise a U-shaped support structure and an elastic band for positioning a feeding device. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise an animal design and/or shape.
Container for spillproof container assemblies
A spillproof container assembly includes a container body and a lid body that is adapted to be fastened onto the container body by screwing. Both the container body and the lid body are advantageously provided with outwardly extending wing portions for enhancing the grippability of and properly orienting the container assembly for small children. The outwardly extending wing portions of the container body are aligned with the outwardly extending wing portions of the lid body. The lid body is provided with an acoustic waveguide, and sound generating structure is provided in communication with the acoustic waveguide for creating an audible feedback when the lid body has been tightened onto the container body to a predetermined relative position and tightness. The acoustic waveguide further functions as a viewing port that provides a visual feedback so that a user can visually verify the position of the lid body with respect to the container body. In addition, the wing portions of the lid body are designed to slightly interfere with and cam over respective upper platforms on the wing portions of the container body so that a user will be provided with a tactical feedback as a lid body is approaching an optimal amount of tightness with respect to the container body.
Feeding device and methods using the same
Briefly, a feeding device embodying features of the present invention approximately conforms to the shape of a human breast and includes at least one housing for storing fluid coupled to a dispensing portion having an apertured dispensing tip for delivering the fluid to an infant.
COMBINATION BOTTLE HOLDER, BOTTLE HOLDING TRAINER, AND BIB
A bottle holder apparatus and method of use. The cover of the bottle holder may have a front portion with a bottle holder strap, and may optionally be reversible to a back portion also having a bottle holder strap. The bottle holder may have neck straps, which may be adjustable, and an inner cavity in which a pillow can be disposed, which may support a bottle at a desired feeding angle. This may, in combination with adjustable neck straps, allow for a variety of positions or feeding angles to be defined. In one variation, the pillow and cavity may be U-shaped and centered around a divot, which may provide additional stability to the bottle. The bottle holder strap(s) may have one fixed or relatively fixed end, and one removable end, such that the bottle holder strap(s) can be easily removed and replaced in order to hold a bottle.
Adjustable baby self feeding pillow
In some embodiments, an apparatus for supporting a feeding device for an infant is provided. In some examples, an apparatus comprising a body and feeding device support structure is provided. A body and feeding device support structure may comprise one or more pieces of fabric, the one or more pieces of fabric are attached by one or more seams. The feeding device support structure may comprise a U-shaped support structure and an elastic band for positioning a feeding device. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise an animal design and/or shape.
Infant Bottle Holding Device
The present invention relates to an infant bottle-holding device for hands-free bottle feeding. The device is primarily comprised of a curved member with at least one arm having at least one appendage that holds a bottle. The curved member can be placed around the waist area of an infant and is secured to said area via compressive force. The arm is repositionable and extends from the curved member, wherein the arm has a bottle-holding member with the appendage that secures the bottle within the member via compressive force such that it cannot be removed by an infant during feeding.
Stand for supporting a baby bottle and a method thereof
A bottle stand includes a bottle holder and at least one posably flexible leg having a proximal end attached to the bottle holder and a distal end resting on a surface, the leg comprising a first member and a second member telescopically coupled to the first member.
