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 invention relates to a packaging 1 having a plurality of material-tight separated chambers 2, 3, wherein the chambers 2, 3 contain different substances, and having at least one predetermined breaking point 4 that is formed between two adjacent chambers 2, 3 such that a break in the predetermined breaking point 4 enables a material exchange of the substances of chambers 2, 3 adjacent to the predetermined breaking point 4, wherein the packaging 1 further has a thermocouple 6 capable of being activated that causes an energy flow from or into at least one of the chambers in an activated state.

A heated baby bottle assembly includes a baby bottle for containing a fluid baby food. An insulating layer is wrapped around the baby bottle and the insulating layer is comprised of a thermally insulating material thereby inhibiting thermal communication between the baby bottle and ambient air. A pair of nipples is provided and a respective one of the nipples is removably attachable to the baby bottle thereby facilitating the fluid baby food to be consumed through the respective nipple. A heating element is integrated into the baby bottle to heat the baby bottle when the heating element is turned on thereby heating the fluid baby food in the baby bottle. A control unit is integrated into the baby bottle and the control unit actuates the heating element to a selectable temperature thereby facilitating the fluid baby food to be retained at the selected temperature.

The invention provides for an infant feeding system (100) for orally feeding a liquid to an infant. The infant feeding system comprises a user interface (202). The infant feeding system further comprises at least one sensor (212, 212, 212, 212) for measuring at least one physical property. The infant feeding system further comprises a memory (216, 216, 216) for storing machine executable instructions (230). The infant feeding system further comprises a processor (208, 208, 208). Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: acquire (300) feeding data (234) by measuring the at least one physical property with the at least one sensor; send (302) the feeding data to a feeding database (246); receive (304) a user response (240) descriptive of feeding conditions from a user interface (202); send (306) contextual data (248) to the feeding database, wherein the contextual data comprises the user response; receive (308) instructional data (242) from the feeding database in response to the contextual data and the feeding data; and output (310) feeding instructions (243, 243, 243, 243, 243, 243) on the user interface using the instructional data.

In one aspect of the invention features nursing bottle. The nursing bottle includes a container for holding a liquid and having a rim defining an open end and a nipple assembly secured to the container at the open end. The nipple assembly includes a flexible nipple extending away from the container and defining an interior nipple volume, a vent bulb disposed within the interior nipple volume and defining an interior bulb volume, a tube extending into the container to a distal end disposed in a closed end of the container, and a vent manifold. The vent manifold defines a first aperture providing fluid communication between the container and the interior nipple volume, a second aperture providing fluid communication between the tube and the interior bulb volume, and a vent conduit providing fluid communication between the interior bulb volume and atmosphere.
