An infant feeding system for orally feeding a liquid to an infant is provided. The infant feeding system includes a user interface, at least one sensor for measuring at least one physical property, a memory for storing machine executable instructions, and a processor. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: acquire feeding data by measuring the at least one physical property with the at least one sensor; send the feeding data to a feeding database; receive a user response descriptive of feeding conditions from a user interface; send contextual data to the feeding database, wherein the contextual data comprises the user response; receive instructional data from the feeding database in response to the contextual data and the feeding data; and output feeding instructions on the user interface using the instructional data.

A container gripping aid (1) has a jacket (2) for reception of a container such as a baby bottle (3). The jacket (2) has a mesh configuration with a plurality of through-holes (5) to facilitate gripping of the jacket (2) by a baby. The jacket (2) has an egg-like shape. Thus, when it is engaged with the bottle (3), most of the jacket (2) side wall is supported spaced-apart from an exterior side wall (6) of the container (3) which enables a baby to easily grip the mesh of the jacket (2).

Embodiments relate to a self-orienting handle assembly that is oriented in a predetermined direction relative to a lid when the lid is screwed onto a container. The handle assembly includes a locking structure that locks onto a counterpart locking structure of the lid as the lid is screwed onto the container. The locking structure may include at least one of a protrusion or a notch, and the counterpart locking structure may have an inverse shape. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure engages the counterpart locking structure and cause the handle assembly to rotate with the lid. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure locks onto the counterpart locking structure, and thereby prevents the handle assembly from rotating relative to the lid.

A stuffed animal bottle holder apparatus for securing a baby bottle to a car seat or stroller includes a stuffed torso. A pair of hind legs and a head are coupled to the torso. The head has a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a nose coupled to a snout portion. The snout portion has a bottle cavity extending into the torso that is configured to receive the baby bottle. A bottle ring is coupled to the head. A pair of arms coupled to the torso and a pair of hands coupled to the pair of arms are used to secure the apparatus to the car seat. Each of the pair of hands comprises a palm and a plurality of fingers coupled to the palm. The torso, the pair of hind legs, the head, the pair of arms, and the pair of hands form a stuffed animal.

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.

A device for measuring in real time the volume of a partially upturned bottle has a sleeve that extends around the upturned bottle with an open distal end and a closed proximal end. An accelerometer in the device determines the vertical direction and the angle between the vertical direction and the longitudinal axis of the bottle. Another accelerometer measures the force exerted by the bottle in the direction of the longitudinal axis. These parameters are used to calculate the total mass and volume of the upturned bottle. A dimmable screen displays the total mass, total volume, change in mass and/or change in volume.

A support system for a baby bottle includes a support body. The support body includes a first rim at a first end defining a first opening, a second rim at a second end defining a second opening, a channel extending between the first opening and the second opening, a slot extending between the first end and the second end, a neck portion configured to be positioned about a bottle neck of a baby bottle, and a generally convex or generally concave portion extending between the neck portion and the second end. The support system also includes a pair of handle portions coupled to the support body. Each handle portion includes a handle grip portion and a handle attachment portion.
