An infant bottle feeding system includes an infant bottle with a chamber that receives a liquid, heating or cooling elements operable to heat or cool liquid in the chamber and sensors operable to sense parameters of the liquid in the chamber. The system optionally includes an electronic base removably attached to a bottom surface of the infant bottle and operable to deliver power to electronics in the infant bottle. The system optionally includes a thermal cover that fits over the infant bottle and releasably couples to the electronic base to enclose the infant bottle, the thermal cover insulating the infant bottle and inhibiting heat loss of the liquid in the chamber. The electronic base delivers power to the heating elements and sensors in the infant bottle only when the infant bottle is on the electronic base. The infant bottle, thermal cover and electronic base define a single travel pack unit when coupled together.

A method of heating and mixing contents is disclosed that combines heating and agitating of a bottle and its contents in order to achieve even warming, as well as, mixing the contents of the bottle.

A warming apparatus for warming contents of a foodstuff container includes an enclosure defining an interior space for receiving the foodstuff container and a reservoir separate from the interior space for receiving a warming liquid. A heating element is disposed within the enclosure for warming the warming liquid within the reservoir. A conduit is configured to extend between the interior space and the reservoir so that the reservoir is in fluid communication with the interior space. The heating element is adapted to move the warming liquid from the reservoir through the conduit into the interior space as the warming liquid within the reservoir is warmed.

A shakable milk warmer includes a shell, a heating member, a rotating shaft, a connecting member, a cradle, a first quick-release portion and a second quick-release portion. The shell forms a water bath chamber with an open end, the heating member is in heat transfer connection with an outer wall surface of the water bath chamber. The rotating shaft is rotatably arranged to extend through a bottom portion of the water bath chamber. The connecting member is mounted at one end of the rotating shaft located in the water bath chamber. The first quick-release portion is a protrusion arranged on the connecting member, the second quick-release portion is a groove arranged in the cradle, the first quick-release portion and the second quick-release portion allow the cradle to be detachably mounted on the connecting member.

A bottle warmer is disclosed with various visual indicator levels of fluid volume positioned along a ramp on an interior housing. The visual indicator levels include LEDS which are visible from an interior portion of the interior housing and help indicate the volume level of the fluid. In certain configurations, bottle and liquid sensors are imbedded within the bottle warmer.

A warming device that heats and agitates a container. The warming device has a housing having an enclosed chamber and a concentric warming chamber adapted to receive a first fluid. A concentric basket is provided that is adapted to fit within the warming chamber. The concentric basket secures the container partially submerged within the first fluid. At least one heating element is provided to heat the first fluid in the warming chamber to warm an exterior surface of the container. A motor is provided to agitate and warm a second fluid in the container by rotating the concentric basket at a predetermined rate. A control panel provides various signal instructions to the heating element and the motor.

In a warming apparatus for warming the contents of a foodstuff container, a barrier member is disposed at least in part within the interior space of a housing of the apparatus and includes a generally tubular barrier wall extending longitudinally within the housing and defining a warming compartment therein. The barrier wall has a lower end and an open upper end accessible through an open upper end of the housing for receiving the foodstuff container into the warming compartment. The barrier wall is resiliently flexible at least transversely of the barrier member. A reservoir is disposed in the housing for containing a warming liquid. A heating unit is in fluid communication with the reservoir. The heating unit is operable to receive warming liquid from the reservoir and heat the warming liquid for supplying heated warming liquid into the warming compartment to warm the contents of the foodstuff container.

Various apparatus and systems are directed to storage, handling, and provision of breast milk. An apparatus may include a housing having a lid; a first reservoir contained within the housing and configured to receive and cool breast milk; a second reservoir contained within the housing and configured to store breast milk at a storage temperature; and a third reservoir in fluid communication with the second reservoir that is configured to warm and dispense breast milk into a breast milk receptacle.

The present invention relates to a heating device (10) for heating food (12) in a container (14), in particular milk in a baby bottle, comprising a chamber (16) configured to contain a fluid (18) and to receive the container (14), a heating unit (20) for heating the fluid (18) in the chamber (16), a temperature measuring element (22) for measuring a temperature of the fluid (18) over a time range, a calculation unit (24) for determining, for each time point of the time range being a first time point, a temperature difference of the fluid (18) between the first time point and a corresponding second time point of the time range different from the first time point, the calculation unit (24) being configured to compare the determined temperature difference to a predefined amount of temperature, and an estimation unit (26) for estimating an arrival time point, at which a pre-set temperature for the food (12) contained in the container (14) is reached, based on the comparison result of the calculation unit (24).
