A solution is provided for monitoring and analyzing baby feeding habits anywhere and anytime. The baby feeding habits data, e.g., feeding times, types of content consumed (milk, water, juice or baby formula) and volume of intakes, are collected through a variety of electronic sensors, e.g., a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, a color sensor and an electronic field imaging sensor, attached to a baby feeding bottle. The baby feeding habits data are recorded and analyzed in real time. The baby feeding habits data associated with other babies are correlated among each other and with benchmark data. The analysis results and nutritional recommendations are presented in a user friendly way to users on their computers and smart phones.

A liquid storage container which can be securely inflated within an external container. The liquid storage container includes a bag body and an ejection outlet. The bag body includes a plurality of bellows portions formed by accordion-folding the bag body along longitudinal crease lines, and has a double-folded portion formed by folding the bag body along an upper lateral crease line and a lower lateral crease line. With reference to the bag body, the following relations are satisfied: 10%<X/H<50%, 3%<Y/H<10%, where H is the length of the bag body, x is the distance between the top periphery and the lower lateral crease line, and Y is the distance between the upper lateral crease line and the lower lateral crease line.

Provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a. a reservoir for holding liquid, the reservoir made from a material that shrinks as liquid leaves the reservoir, b. an opening for the liquid to leave the reservoir and exit the container; and c. a one way valve configured to be actuated by a person sucking the opening; wherein when the person sucks, the one way valve opens and the liquid leaves the container while the reservoir shrinks to compensate for volume of the liquid that left the container. In another embodiment, provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a) a housing in a shape of a phallus, the housing having a body and a cap, inside of the body of the housing having a reservoir for a liquid, the cap configured to be removably attached to the housing; and b) a channel in the cap configured to carry liquid from inside of the housing to outside of the container: wherein the reservoir is tilled by removing the cap, and pouring the liquid into the reservoir, and the liquid is consumed through the channel. Provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a) a body; b) a cap for removably attaching to the body, the cap having an opening configured to allow liquid to travel from inside of the container to outside of the container; c) a cup for holding liquid placed inside of the body, the cup maintained in proximity to, a top of the body; Wherein liquid leaves the cup and moves to the outside of the container through the opening in the cap. Also provided are mannequins in assembly with such containers.

An infant bottle (10) method and kit, wherein the bottle comprising: a disposable bag (20), for containing a beverage (30, 44, 46); a foldable bag frame (16), for deploying therein the disposable bag (20) at a deployed state of the foldable bag frame (16), wherein a folded state thereof occupies less space than an unfolded state thereof; and a teat (14), for covering the disposable bag (20) in a sealed manner, thereby resulting in a compact infant bottle (10) at a folded state of the foldable bag frame (16), and sealable upon deployment.

A baby bottle, an insert for a baby bottle, a baby bottle including an insert, and a method of feeding an infant that serves to pace the infant's feeding rhythm. Generally, these devices and methods will be of use for a preterm infant who lacks coordination of the suck-swallow-breathe synchrony, but can also be used with full term infants who can benefit from rigid control of the flow of milk from a bottle, this includes, but is not limited to, infants with gastroesophageal reflux who can require pacing of feeds to allow for gastric emptying. The device generally cues the infant to swallow and breathe after each 1-4 sucks by stopping the flow of the fluid from the bottle after the infant has sucked sufficiently or a predetermined period of time has passed. Once the baby breathes or a period of time passes, the bottle resets for the next repetition. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding.

The disclosure provides bottle apparatuses, pods or other storage containers to be used in bottle apparatuses, beverage dispensing apparatuses, and methods of making and using the same in accordance with principles of the disclosed subject matter.
