The disclosure includes embodiments of an apparatus, a device, and methods to transform an infant feeding bottle into an infant gavage feeding apparatus. According to an embodiment, an infant gavage feeding apparatus can include an infant feeding bottle, a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a cord component. In another embodiment, infant milk dual-delivery device to transform an infant feeding bottle to an alternate nipple feeding and gavage feeding apparatus includes a gavage milk delivery component, a retaining ring, and a nipple receiving component. The gavage milk delivery component and the nipple receiving component can be positioned in a branched or a stacked configuration. The device can include a flow closure component and a controller to transition the milk flow for a gavage feeding and nipple feeding. The device can include a funnel to allow milk in the nipple to flow back into the infant feeding bottle.

A disposable receptacle useful with an infant feeding system, including a pliable pouch. The pliable pouch may have a single compartment, or a pair of compartments wherein a first compartment is filled with powdered formula, and a second compartment is filled with distilled water. When compartmentalized, the compartments are separated by a burst seal designed to fail upon subjection to pressure of between about 1-3 lbs. The receptacles include a cylindrical fitment with a one-way valve removably positioned therewithin. A top seal of the pliable pouch is secured about the body of the fitment. The receptacles may be used with an infant feeding system having a support disc with an aperture to receive and secure the fitment, and a nipple having an internal chamber sized and configured to tightly and removably receive a portion of the fitment. The infant feeding system may optionally include a bottle and a securing ring.

An anatomically emulating infant pacifier for a sucking infant's mouth has a substantially spherical silicone ball member with a hollow interior portion or cavity that may be designed to hold a gas or a liquid. A substantially circular, areola emulating, portion is disposed on the silicone ball member with a plurality of protrusions disposed therein. A nipple member centers the areola emulating portion, protruding perpendicularly from the areola emulating portion at a distal end of the nipple emulating member. The proximal end of the nipple emulating member, which may have at least one hole disposed therethrough, has a diameter substantially equivalent from the distal end, the middle portion of the nipple member narrower than the distal and proximal ends. The hollow interior portion of the silicone ball member is designed to equalize to the prevalent gas or air pressure, the silicone ball member designed to be squeezable by the baby to emulate a human breast.

The present invention relates to a pressure equaliser (1) comprising:—a hollow element (101) with a cup-shaped section (1011) and a tubular section (1013) that merge seamlessly one into the other, and—a sealing element (103) that comprises a top edge (1031) with a first diameter (D1) and a central part (1033) with a second diameter (D2), wherein the top edge of the cup-shaped section (1011) of the hollow element (101) is inserted into the second inner diameter (D2) of the central part (1033) of the sealing element (103), the pressure equaliser being characterised in that at least the hollow element (101) can be disassembled into at least two hollow element parts (10a, 101b) along its longitudinal axis. The present invention further relates to a baby bottle assembly comprising: —a bottle-shaped container (3), —a pressure equaliser (1) according to the invention, —a screw element (5) and—a nipple (7a) or closure cap (7b).

A baby bottle including an accordion cover is disclosed herein. The bottle has a nipple connected at an open end, with a collar removably connected at a meeting point of the bottle and the nipple. The accordion cover is connected to the collar, and may be movable, while remaining fixedly connected to the collar, between an upward configuration, a downward configuration, and a compressed configuration. The nipple is covered and protected from contamination.

A cup or container assembly having a lip activated input feature. The lip activated feature permits removal of the contents from the cup or container while mitigating against leaks and/or spills. The lid includes a movable member and a baffle. The cup assembly is constructed to have streamlined assembly method due to a reduced number of parts needing separation and/or improved connecting features. The improved geometry of lid components lends to heightened ease of cleaning.

A disposable cart liner includes a sheet of thin material having a perimeter formed by a first longitudinal edge, an opposing second longitudinal edge, a first lateral edge, and an opposing second lateral edge. A tension fastener is woven through apertures in the perimeter. The sheet fits at least around a handlebar and into a seat portion of a shopping cart. A cape is formed at the periphery. A shopping liner kit includes a container, a disposable cart liner, and one or more additional liners. The additional liners are chosen from a pair of disposable gloves with a tension fastener; a baby bottle liner with a tension fastener; and a toilet seat cover with a tension fastener.
