A foldable bottle includes a bottle body, which has a first annular wall extending in a top-bottom direction, a top connection wall extending upwardly from the first annular wall, a second annular wall extending downwardly from the first annular wall, a third annular wall extending downwardly and foldably from the second annular wall, and a bottom wall connected to the third annular wall. The bottle body is changeable between an unfolded state, where the second annular wall and the third annular wall are unfolded to extend outwardly and downwardly from the first annular wall, and a folded state, where the second annular wall and the third annular wall are folded and inserted into the first annular wall.

A nipple adapter for feeding babies solid food from a milk nipple they already use for milk is disclosed. A nipple adapter is screwed onto a food pouch and into a milk nipple such that the food from the pouch can be fed to the baby through the milk nipple the baby already uses for milk.

A nipple for use with an infant drinking cup is disclosed herein. The nipple comprises a domed portion having a central region and an inner surface, a teat portion radially offset from the central region, and a radially-outer wall. The radially-outer wall is joined to the domed portion at a joining location and comprises an inner fluid-flow surface, defining a fluid flow direction. A region of the inner surface of the domed portion at the joining location is substantially parallel to said fluid flow direction, or the inner fluid-flow surface of the teat portion extends radially outwardly, away from said region of the inner surface of the domed portion at the joining location.

A teat with a base and a hollow and flexible mouthpiece protruding from it with a palate contact area, characterized in that the mouthpiece has a planar thinning area fully or partially extending over the palate contact area, in which the mouthpiece has a smaller wall thickness than in its adjacent areas.

The present invention relates to pacifiers (10), which can support a child in its oral development, from sucking to mature drinking and eating reflex or which helps in the process of teething. A pacifier (10) is provided, which comprises a shield (12), a cherry or nipple portion (14) with controllable hardness and a controller for controlling the hardness of the cherry or the nipple portion. By increasing the hardness of the nipple portion, the child is de-motivated to suck on a pacifier (10) and the child will lose the need for suckling. However, there are moments when the child does need to be nourished and comforted by engaging the sucking reflex. In this case the cherry can be made softer.

The present disclosure provides a method for producing a customised teat product for a subject, the method includes the initial step of performing a 3D scan of at least a nipple region of the subject's breast to create a 3D model of the nipple region. In the next step, a 3D product model for a teat product is created, incorporating a teat that corresponds in shape to at least the nipple region of the subject, based on the 3D model of the nipple region. In the final step, a physical teat product is generated based on the 3D product model using an additive or subtractive manufacturing apparatus.

An improved oral administration coupler for delivery of fluids such as medications and nutritional fluids. Example oral administration couplers have a first end with an applicator for oral delivery to an infant, and a second end with a coupling compatible with an enteral fluid delivery syringe. A fluid delivery conduit extends in fluid communication from the first end to the second end, to deliver fluid from the syringe to the infant. In some example embodiments, the coupler is configured for back-of-mouth delivery, and can comprise a generally elongate and at least partially flexible tube or straw.

A drinking container is provided that can include a lid member and a cup member. The lid member can include a base member and a spout extending up from the base member. The spout can provide a fluid passageway from outside the drinking container to the volume of the cup member so that a child may drink liquid contained within the cup member. When the lid member is removably coupled to the cup member, two or more seals are created around the circumference of the drinking container between the lid member and the cup member to decrease the likelihood of leakage from between the cup member and the lid member when the lid is coupled to the cup member.

This invention is relating to a feeding device and a feeding apparatus with such feeding device. Wherein, the feeding device, which is made of soft resilient material, includes a circular base and a sac formed by extended down from the circular base. At the end of the said sac there are one or more apertures. The said sac includes a collapsible annular part. The feeding apparatus includes the said feeding device. Since this inventive feeding device includes a collapsible annular part, it enlarges the space of the sac in one hand; on the other hand, it may function as a pump to make it easier to extrude food from the sac and more feasible for the food feeding. Furthermore, the collapsible part may be bent to an angle, which promotes the ease of use and practicality.

A teat including at least a shaft and a nipple, wherein structured surface areas are provided at least in a partial region thereof, and the structured surface areas are formed by at least one rough surface zone having a surface roughness of 100 m at the most, or 50 m at the most.
