Baby bottle assembly
A baby bottle assembly for bottom venting includes a bottle having a top closure member adapted for releasable engagement with a top portion of the bottle, and a bottom closure member adapted for releasable engagement with a base portion of the bottle. The bottom closure member has a base panel with a raised portion having an air passage therethrough and a top sealing surface. A diaphragm is positionable between the bottom closure member and the base portion. The diaphragm has a disc, at least one moveable sealing element for sealingly engaging the top sealing surface, and an air passage extending under the at least one moveable sealing element into the liquid chamber. The diaphragm is moveable between a sealed position and an unsealed position. The moveable sealing element when in the sealed position prevents liquid contained within a liquid chamber of the bottle from entering the air passage. When in the unsealed position, the diaphragm allows bottom venting of the bottle.
FEEDING BOTTLE
A feeding bottle has a first layer and optionally a second layer. The feeding bottle offers an improved user experience by mitigating against spills, leaks, improving feeding comfort, or offering information to the user about the feeding environment. The feeding bottle has a reusable liner that is compatible with breast pumps. The liner stores fluid such as breast milk in the freezer. The liner is adaptable to feeding bottle holders, collars, and/or nipples and thus facilitates feeding infants. The liner is adaptable to breast pumps, a liner cap, and one or more of a bottle holder, collar and nipple, such that the liner offers a pump, store, feed solution that is reusable and simplifies the number of parts required for any/all of pumping, storing and feeding activities.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BREAST MILK COLLECTION, STORING, AND FEEDING
Embodiments of the systems and methods described herein include a system of improved silicone bottle containers, adapters, and nipples that support the collection, storage, and feeding of breast milk. In some embodiments, a bottle system may include a bottle formed from molded silicone rubber including a bottom end having a recess, and a top end having an opening configured to receive and dispel contents, wherein the top end is spaced apart from the bottom end, and an inner adapter composed of molded standard thermo-plastic configured to engage with the top end of the bottle. The bottle system may also include a flat cap, nipple, nipple cover, nipple adapter, and/or breast pump adapter.
Dispenser
A kit of parts for a feeder has a body and a bung that can slide within the body. A periphery of the bung can form a sliding seal between that periphery and the internal side walls of the body. A base cap has an aperture and is mountable at a lower end of the body to substantially occlude that end and allow airflow through the aperture into the body as the bung moves away. The kit has a teat mouthpiece for liquid foods, a sipper mouthpiece for pureed food, and a spout mouthpiece for mashed food and a pump attachment. The pump attachment has a pump and a spoon. The pump has a pump bung which moves reciprocatingly within the body and forms a sliding seal with the internal side walls. A valve allows food to flow from the feeder but prevents the flow of food into the feeder.
BOTTLE FOR FEEDING AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF
A bottle for feeding includes a body defining an enclosed cavity, where the body has a base and a top end. The enclosed cavity contains a liquid. A teat provided at the top end is adapted for discharging the liquid. A closure provided on the teat is adapted for hermetically and aseptically sealing the teat, before use and after the bottle has been manufactured. Also, a method of manufacturing the bottle for feeding is disclosed.

SYSTEM FOR STORAGE, COOLING AND MONITORING OF BREAST MILK
A system for storing breast milk includes a container having a top opening and a bottom recess extending into an interior of the container towards the top opening. A container cap is configured to attach to the container and cover the top opening. The container cap includes a probe thermometer having a sensing tip positioned above the bottom recess when the container cap is attached to the container. A non-insulated cooling base has a protrusion configured to mate within the recess when the container is resting on the base. An insulated shell assembly includes a top and bottom configured to connect to each other, wherein the shell assembly is configured to at least partially encapsulate the container, the container cap and the cooling base.
VESSEL FOR BREAST MILK COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, TRANSPORTATION, AND DELIVERY
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 complimentary to the first coupler, and a fourth coupler that is complimentary 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.
Compartmentalized nursing bottle for infants
Disclosed is an infant feeding bottle having a means of mixing powdered baby formula, or other substance, at individually separate times, within any of multiple internal chambers which may be filled with water or other liquid. A user operates the device by removing one of a plurality of attached powder dispensers and pouring its contents, through an open loading portal, directly into one of the chambers within a cylinder main body. A canister top is fabricated with an off-center nipple and, when secured to the cylinder main body, prevents spillage of contents of the chambers. The user selects and detaches one of the plurality of powder dispensers, combines its contents with water or other liquid in a selected chamber, mixes thoroughly, and dispenses to an infant, as necessary. Thus, there are provided multiple uses of the same bottle at different times.
