A baby bottle system includes a collar configured to connect to a disposable water bottle, a nipple secured to the collar, and a dosing cap configured to connect to the collar and enclose the nipple. The collar includes a lower portion configured to engage the disposable water bottle and an upper portion attached to the lower portion, a base of the nipple being sandwiched between the upper portion and an upper end of the lower portion to secure the nipple to the collar.

The present invention relates to baby bottles, in particular, to removable attachment handles and toys for baby bottles with an emphasis in the development of finger strength and dexterity though haptic exploration. The backbone of the present invention is a circumferential band made with bonded elastic and rigid plastic material with two equidistant ball joints designed to flexibly sleeve over a baby bottle. Multiple attachment handles and toys have socket joints that can mate to the circumferential band's ball joints, each with a unique focus on developing manual exploration to accelerate the emergence of higher haptic senses (texture, weight, volume, hardness, etc.). The ball and socket joint allows effortless interchangeability to suit a baby's developmental age and also allows customization. Haptic procedures can be habituated as early as newborns and as often as every feeding time, all the while teaching babies how to hold a handle and baby bottle.

An automatic feeding apparatus includes a bottle for holding liquid, a tube connected to the bottle, and a teat connected to the tube. A characterizing feature of the system is that the bottle has an air-intake mechanism adapted to release the liquid within the bottle through the tube to the teat.

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.

The breastfeeding device present in the invention, simulates natural breastfeeding experience and delivers fluid, milk or infant formula to the nursing infant in a contactless or latch free manner than any prior art in this field. This device integrates physical sensors to the breastfeeding device and includes a neck strap, refillable housing chamber that contains fluid, a tubing that connects the housing chamber to a prosthetic nipple via a sealing attachment and a prosthetic nipple for infant latching to nurse. The invention is a notable step forward in creating an effective, safe and contactless nursing which mitigates and prevents bruised, sore nipples or engorged breasts.

A barrier system for a container, includes a fluid permeable solids barrier comprising an outer flange surrounding a central fluid permeable sieve; an upper port located at an interior edge of an upper side of the outer flange, a lower port on an opposite lower side of the outer flange in fluid communication with the upper port by a flow path therebetween, and a fluid permeable sieve located in the flow path between the upper port and the lower port. The system also includes a straw having an upper end configured to fittingly engage the lower port of the fluid permeable solids barrier spout; and a spout having a lower port configured to fittingly engage the upper port of the fluid permeable solids barrier.

The present invention is directed to an ergonomic bottle comprised of a container having sidewalls and a bottom defining a liquid holding space. The sidewalls form an open end with a neck. The sidewalls further comprise indents that facilitate grasping the container by a user. The ergonomic bottle of the present invention further comprises an ergonomic nipple having an alignment mark indicating the orientation of the ergonomic nipple for optimum use. The ergonomic bottle of the present invention has a collar adapted to fasten to the neck and for receiving the ergonomic nipple. The collar has indicia indicating optimum alignment of the ergonomic nipple and indents of the container.

The disclosure includes a device made of a lightweight plastic that will hook around the neck like a hanger, releasing with very little force to prevent injury. The device hangs down the front of the body to form a loop for stability. Down the center will be a retractable feeding tube holder arm that can adjust 180 degrees up and down and left to right, and lock-in any position in-between on a universal joint. The arm also will have a quick release to avoid injury. The arm will have an alternating clip to attach to variable size tubes as needed. This will allow for everyday support and hands free interaction with the tube. A pair of support arms terminate in a support pad each and attach to the universal joint. A method of supporting a gastric tube on a patient via the device is also disclosed.

A container assembly includes a container body, a container capable of being received within the container body, and a collar. The container body includes an upper end having a first compression surface. The container includes a first flange configured to engage the first compression surface. The collar is capable of being releasably secured to the container body. The collar includes a second compression surface. A dispensing portion includes a second flange configured to engage the second compression surface. When securing the collar to the container body, the first compression surface engages the first flange and the second compression surface engages the second flange to cause the first flange to sealingly engage the second flange.
