Provided are a smart bottle and a method for controlling the smart bottle. A smart bottle comprises a bottle for containing liquid; a base formed to be combined to one side of the bottle; a first sensor installed in the bottle or the base, and configured to obtain level information of liquid contained in the bottle; a third sensor configured to obtain inclination information of the bottle; a heater configured to heat the liquid contained in the bottle; a controller configured to control operation of the heater based on the temperature information, determine a feeding start and a feeding end based on the inclination information, and modify the level information based on the inclination information; a communication unit configured to transmit the inclination information and the level information to an external device; and a battery configured to supply power to the first sensor and the base.

A device for bringing baby food to a certain temperature comprises a vessel having an interior for accommodating a holder for the baby food, a unit for obtaining a temperature for bringing the interior to a certain temperature, and a first sensor for determining the temperature in interior. A second sensor is present for determining the temperature of the baby food in the container. As a result, baby food can be brought to a certain temperature in a manner that is gentle, yet efficient.

A thermochromatic baby bottle for receiving and dispensing fluids to infants and babies along with a method of use comprises a bottle, a collar, a nipple, a cap, a ribbed sleeve, and a wings handle, any or all of which may have one or more thermochromic elements disposed on, in, or attached to them. A thermometer outline on the side of the bottle, a thermochromatic sticker, one or more raised thermochromic portions of the bottle shaped as rings encircling the bottle, or hidden shapes that become visible when one or more thermochromic elements are engaged, are all non-limiting examples of the one or more thermochromic elements. The bottle may have one or more narrow or graduated portions, one or more non-thermochromic design elements, or any other ornamentation may be disposed on the bottle's exterior as well.

An improved baby bottle apparatus having a baby bottle adapted to be filled with a liquid and any chosen additives and then releasably attached to a base member with the base member adapted to releasably connect with the bottle member and heat a liquid to a desired temperature and stir the liquid to mix any chosen additives added to the liquid before a baby sucks on the nipple and drinks the liquid.

The baby bottle with mixer is an infant feeding bottle with an integral, controllable internal mixer. The baby bottle with a mixer includes a conventional bottle having an open upper end and a closed lower end, and a conventional cap for releasably covering and sealing the open upper end of the bottle. An internal wall is mounted within the bottle such that a fluid-tight chamber is defined between a lower surface of the internal wall and the closed lower end of the bottle. An agitator is rotatably mounted on an upper surface of the internal wall, and the agitator is selectively driven by a motor, which is housed within the fluid-tight chamber. A speaker is mounted on the closed lower end of the bottle for playing music, soothing sounds or the like while the baby is being fed. A controller is in communication with the speaker and the motor.

The present invention is a universal replacement lid with nipple assembly that removably affixes, via threading, to inter alia thermally insulated bottles. The instant invention features a replacement lid with a cylindrical hole through the center. The [bottle's] replacement lid [and its corollary attachments, components and features] turn an ordinary bottle into a universal baby-bottle. Atop said hole (annular aperture), rests a ridged rim/lip, under which is positioned a plastic nipple (with optional lugs to further secure said nipple in place in the deployed position). A sealing disc and a half-eggshell-cap together prevent spillage when not in use. The nipple clips in under the lid ridged lip, and may be stored upside down when the bottle is not in use. This feature, combined with the novel feature of a sealing disc, allows for secure, leak-proof nipple storage. When in use/deployed-position, the nipple simply turns right-side-up and clips in to the [bottle] replacement lid [positioning itself just underneath the outer-circumference ridge-lip], allowing for normal dispensation of liquid to the baby. Alternate embodiments also function as a replacement-lid-nipple (with valved-spout) for toddlers' sippy-cup type devices, as described infra and supra. Also of note is that said invention is compatible with both aluminum bottles and also double-walled thermally insulated bottles.

Devices and methods protect a recipient receiving a medical fluid from a donor such as expressed breast milk from unsafe handling, expiration, and misidentification. For example, each container employs a container tracking device to measure one or more of temperature, duration, and patient identity, and receives a permission code from a receiving computer based thereon. The permission code directs the container tracking device to provide an appropriate alert, thereby informing medical personnel whether to administer the medical fluid from a given container to the recipient. Optionally, a medical fluid supply can be managed by identifying those containers having the shortest remaining shelf life, in certain cases.
