A feeding system for use with both liquids and semi-solids, having a bottle and a spout mountable on the bottle, the spout having an enlarged opening that is suitably sized to accommodate the easy flow of semi-solid foods.

A vessel includes an inner container, an outer container, a connector, a cap, and a lid. The outer container includes a first coupler and an outer chamber. The inner container includes a second coupler and an inner chamber to hold a liquid. The inner container is receivable at least partially within the outer chamber. The connector includes a third coupler that is complementary to the first coupler, and a fourth coupler that is complementary to the second coupler. When both the first coupler is engaged with the third coupler and the second coupler is engaged with the fourth coupler, the outer chamber is entirely enclosed within a liquid-proof barrier.

A convertible beverage container may have a base structure having an interior configured to hold a liquid, and a lid structure removably mountable on the base structure over an open top to selectively close the open top. The lid structure may have a mounted condition characterized by the beverage container being able to at least partially retain a liquid in the interior of the base structure and an unmounted condition characterized by the beverage container being unable to retain a liquid in the interior of the base structure. The beverage container may further include a handle structure directly and removably mountable on the lid structure such that the handle structure is mountable on the base structure via the mounting of the handle structure on the lid structure when the lid structure is mounted on the base structure.

A system includes a warming base including a body having a top surface, a recess formed in the top surface, and an induction coil positioned within the body below the recess; a fluid container having an opening; and a lid including a lid body and a conductive heat plate positioned within the lid body, wherein the lid is configured to be removably attached to the opening to close the fluid container, wherein the lid body has a size and shape that are complementary to the recess of the warming base, so as to allow lid to mate with the recess to position the conductive heat plate a suitable distance from the induction coil such that, when a current is applied to the induction coil, a magnetic field generated by the induction coil causes the conductive heat plate to heat, thereby heating contents of the fluid container.

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.

A bottle assembly includes a container, a collar assembly, and a vent insert. The collar assembly includes a collar and a nipple. The vent insert is configured for selective placement on an open top of the container. The vent insert, when placed on the open top of the container, defines a gap for allowing liquid in the liquid chamber of the container to flow towards the nipple and a vent passage having at least one vent opening in flow communication with the liquid chamber for allowing air to flow into the liquid chamber. The vent insert further defines an annular gap forming a portion of the vent passage. The bottle assembly is selectively operable in two different configurations, a first configuration in which the vent insert is placed on the open top of the container and a second configuration in which the vent insert is omitted.

The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing an Oat Protein Sponge (OPS) filter for feeding bottles to remove microplastics. The method involves isolating proteins from oats using cell disruption with alkali. The oats are cultivated through tissue culture and/or hydroponics. The isolated protein is then made soluble through incubation and breakdown, followed by neutralization with a strong acid such as Hydrochloric or Sulfuric acid. The resulting protein is concentrated oat protein, treated with a crosslinking agent, and formed into a sponge structure. This structure is incubated to create a stable hydrogel, which is subsequently washed and purified. The OPS filter effectively removes microplastics from milk and is integrated into feeding bottles, providing a solution to enhance milk safety and quality for infants.
