A reusable food pouch having a removably insertable one-way valve is disclosed herein. The one-way valve may be used with the reusable food pouch if food product having a water-like consistency is being stored in the reusable food pouch to prevent spills if the reusable food pouch is inadvertently laid on its side. Conversely, the one-way valve may be removed from the reusable food pouch if the food product has a consistency more like thick oatmeal and/or applesauce to allow for free flow of the food product through a spout of the reusable food pouch.

A baby feeding kit operational in syringe mode, storage mode, feed-bottle mode, and feed-tube mode. The kit includes a container body, a plunger, an attachable nipple, an attachable cap and a feeding tube.

The container body includes a tube portion defining a cavity for holding a liquid having therein, a wide opening disposed at one end and a narrow opening disposed at an opposite end. The plunger removably and sealingly fits inside the cavity and slidably move there along when the container is in a syringe mode, and seals the tube portion when the container is in a storage mode. The attachable nipple sealingly attaches to the wide opening for releasing a liquid held in the container body when sucked on when the container is in a feed-bottle mode in which the plunger is removed, and for pressurizing fluids when the container is in a feed-tube mode, and is removed when the container is in a syringe or storage mode. The attachable cap seals the narrow opening of the container when in storage or in feed-bottle mode. The feeding tube sealingly attaches to the narrow opening for releasing a liquid held in the container body when the container is in a feed-tube mode.

The present invention relates to a multifunctional milk bottle holder, and more particularly, to a multifunctional milk bottle holder which: is capable of providing information related to whether bottle-feeding is occurring using the inclination of the holder for feeding, wherein power is automatically turned on when a milk bottle containing liquid milk is placed in the holder for feeding; is capable of providing information related to the temperature of the liquid milk while maintaining the temperature of the liquid milk for a predetermined period of time; and has excellent price competitiveness due to reduced manufacturing costs. Also, the holder is capable of developing the senses of vision and hearing through the operation of a mobile which rotates in the holder and of a sound source generation unit, thereby ensuring ease of use.

A constriction resistant tether for a child's article includes an elastomeric body, preferably constructed of any FDA approved food grade or higher grade semi-rigid elastomer. A portion of the tether body has a zig-zag, or modified serpentine shape that resembles a non-coiled tension spring. At one end of the body is an anchoring member for securement to a point of attachment such as a child seat, high chair or wheelchair. The anchoring member may possess a small annulus with a tail having spaced knobs along its length extending therefrom, or the anchoring member may be a plug or bulbous member that snaps into or interlocks with a custom sized and shaped aperture defining an attachment point.

A container for feeding a patient includes a deformable receptacle having a cavity for holding a flowable food product and a rigid cover attachable to the upper end of the deformable receptacle. The rigid cover may have a male feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a female feeding tube connector of a feeding tube or may have a female feeding tube connector that is uniquely connectable to a male feeding tube connector of a syringe. With the male and female feeding tube connectors connected, the deformable receptacle and the feeding tube or syringe are in fluid tight fluid communication to allow the flowable food product to be forced out of the opening of the deformable receptacle and into the feeding tube or syringe when the deformable receptacle is squeezed.
