A teether includes a body, and a teething member. When the teether is frozen, the teething member is positioned within the teether providing rigidity to the teether. The teething member is moveable within the body as the frozen material within the body melts. The teether may include a cylindrical body, a nipple, and a cap with the teething member providing rigidity to the nipple. The teether may also be formed from a flexible membrane with at least one acute edge. An insulative storage container for the teether has an internal structure sized to hold multiple teethers.

A feeding bottle apparatus comprising a cylindrical bottle for containing a flowable material, having a top with an opening, a bottom, a length, at least a first portion of the bottle curving along the length, and markings indicative of an amount of flowable material; a cap attachable to the top of the bottle, having an opening aligned with the opening of the bottle; and a tube extending through the opening of the cap and the opening of the bottle, having a first end extending out of the bottle and a second end disposed within the bottle, the first end having an opening and a deflector member, the second end extending substantially the length of the bottle and having at least one bottom member; wherein the bottle is formed of a flexible material such that pressure applied to the bottle discharges the flowable material through the tube.

The disclosure discloses an anti-flatulence milk bottle, which comprises a bottle body and a nipple, wherein an edge of the nipple is arranged at a bottleneck of the bottle body through a threaded cover, the threaded cover is in threaded connection with a periphery of the bottleneck, a first air returning cover and a second air returning cover are arranged between the nipple and the bottleneck, a first gap is formed between the first air returning cover and the second air returning cover, a second gap is formed between the threaded cover and an outer surface of the bottleneck, the first gap is communicated with the second gap, the first air returning cover is provided with a first opening communicated with an interior of the bottle body, and the first gap, the second gap and the first opening form a confluence passage.

A feeding assembly generally comprises a container having an open top and defining a liquid chamber therein for holding a liquid. A collar assembly defines a closure for the open top of the container upon assembly with the container. The collar assembly includes a collar releasably securable to the container and a nipple coupled to the collar and having an opening through which liquid exits the feeding assembly during feeding. A vent assembly is positionable at least in part on the open top of the container and is configured to facilitate venting of the container to atmosphere as liquid exits the feeding assembly during feeding. The vent assembly is disposed intermediate the container and the nipple and has a vent tube through which air is able to flow from external of the feeding assembly to the container during feeding. The vent tube has an internal rib extending longitudinally of the feeding assembly and is configured to facilitate the flow of liquid from vent assembly back into the container when feeding is ceased and the container is oriented generally upright.

The vent assembly being disposed intermediate the container and the nipple, has at least one opening through which liquid is able to flow from the container to the nipple during feeding. The vent assembly has a siphon member extending longitudinally of the feeding assembly and generally away from the nipple and is configured to facilitate the flow of liquid from the nipple back into the container when feeding is ceased and the container is oriented generally upright.

In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a baby bottle apparatus, comprising: a nipple (11); a liquid container (12); a flexible tube (17) connecting the nipple to the container; a normally-closed valve, for controlling the flow of fluid from the container (12) to the nipple (11); at least one lever (13), for opening the valve for fluid passage from the container to the nipple; thereby allowing a user to control fluid flow from the baby bottle apparatus. Preferably, the mechanism for limiting the distance between the parallel bars comprising a rotatable ring (15) having a different outer diameter therealong, such that a movement of each of the levers (13) is limited by the ring (15).

An apparatus and method for an autonomous feeding system allows a user to draw liquid or semi-solid nutrition from a receptacle by creating a negative pressure environment through sucking. The autonomous feeding system includes an adapter that is adapted to receive a conduit and conformingly fit about and substantially form a seal around the rim of a receptacle, such as a baby food jar.

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, 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.

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.
