A baby bottle, a flow control for a baby bottle, a baby bottle, including a flow control system, 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 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 regulates the flow of the fluid from the bottle as desired by the feeder. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding.

A removable container for powder or liquid includes a housing, a spilling mechanism and a bypass element. The housing hangs within a bottle and is capable of storing powder within the bottle while being sealed from a precursor liquid held within the bottle. The spilling mechanism enables the powder to spill out of the housing and into the precursor liquid and the bypass element provides the precursor liquid out of the bottle without mixing with the stored powder.

A bottle for baby formula that includes: a main liquid portion; a formula portion attached to the liquid portion, where the formula portion includes an infant formula for consumption and is adapted for removal; an attachment means that provides a means to attach the formula portion to the liquid portion of the bottle; a nipple; and a removable cap, where the removable cap covers the nipple. Preferably, the attachment means is a threaded connection and the liquid portion includes a curved outer surface. The infant formula may be a premixed powder mixable with water.

A container with a divider designed to hold two liquids separately inside. A cap on the container includes a twist mechanism that permits separate access to one side or the other side of the container without mixing the two materials within the container. The container can have installed infant holding handles. These handles are used to equal out the bottle weight, and are small enough for an infant to grab and hold. Instead of making two bottles to hold each liquid, one bottle can support two separate liquids.

The device of the present invention includes a compact baby bottle attachment. The device of the present invention is a pod that is functional as a cap to a baby bottle, a storage container for powdered formula, and a dispenser for powdered formula. The device is removably attachable to conventional baby bottles and eases the baby feeding process by storing powdered formula separately from the water reservoir, sealing the powdered formula compartment with a ring plug, and including a nip housing depression to ensure the nip is erect and ready to feed upon removal of the pod.

Apparatus and system for mixing and dispensing accurately pre-measured powdered material. The apparatus comprising of a cap, a dispensing teat or similar, a screw down top with a fixed or removable plate insert, a powder keg and a bottle or similar, together with a system, wherein by rotating a screw down top with a fixed or removable plate insert engages a pre-sealed powder keg containing accurately pre-measured powdered material which acts to open and release the accurately pre-measured powdered material into a volume of liquid or similar.

A feeding bottle configured to receive milk for small children, the feeding bottle including a water bottle; a suction nipple; a heater; a milk powder depot that is separate from the water bottle; and a temperature sensor coupled to the heater.

A food-containing device includes a container having a body with a foot and a neck. An exemplary neck defines an opening in the body and the foot is adjacent to the bottom of the body. An exemplary a cover for the device is configured to close the opening in the neck when interconnected to the container body but can also couple to the foot of the body. Each of the cover and container are interconnected by a flexible link.

A bottle assembly includes a container having an open end, a closed end, a base portion, and a neck together defining a liquid chamber within the container. The neck has a rim defining the open end of the container. The bottle assembly also includes a collar assembly generally defining a closure for the container. The collar assembly is configured for releasable engagement with the neck of the container over the open end thereof. The collar assembly includes a collar and a nipple. The bottle assembly further includes a cap including a closed end, an open end, and a side wall extending between the closed end and the open end together defining an interior. The cap is configured for releasable engagement with the collar assembly such that the nipple is received within the interior of the cap. In some embodiments, the bottle assembly includes a vent assembly positionable at least in part on the rim of the container to permit venting of the container during use.

A device for preparing a beverage comprises a bottle, which includes the teat, a container, and a heating chamber. The bottle nests within the heating chamber and the container is connected to the neck of the bottle. At the bottom of the heating chamber is a heating element and an electrical circuit and all required elements for heating a bottle in the heating chamber. The heating chamber provides instant or constant heating of fluid in the bottle. Preparation of the beverage may include detaching the bottle from the heating chamber, opening the container to allow powder to drop into the bottle with the fluid, and shaking the bottle to dissolve the powder in the fluid.
