A baby bottle is equipped with a removable nipple, a removable teething ring interconnects the bottle with a suction cup base in a manner to permit controlling position of the nipple about a limited spherical range of movement.

A baby bottle blender includes a baby bottle having a top collar with external threads and a bottom collar with external threads. A nipple has an anti-colic air vent. The nipple cap is internally threaded to be removable threaded onto the top collar of the baby bottle and holds the nipple extending through a central aperture of the nipple cap onto the top collar. A top cover snaps over the nipple cap and covers the nipple. An agitating unit is centrally retained within a bottom attaching cap of the baby bottle. Next, a base member has a top recess to engage with the agitating unit in the bottom attaching cap on the baby bottle. An electrical mechanism in the base member is for operating the agitating unit, so that the agitating unit will mix formula within a liquid placed through the top collar of the baby bottle in approximately seven (7) seconds to thoroughly blend the formula.

A module for adjusting a temperature of a liquid in a container can include an elongate portion sized for insertion into the container, the elongate portion having an outer surface that contacts the liquid in the container about its circumference, the elongate portion housing therein one or more heating or cooling elements operable to facilitate heat transfer between at least a portion of the elongate portion and the liquid in the container. An adaptor attached to a proximal end of the elongate portion has a rim and a circumferential wall that have an outer circumference greater than an outer circumference of the elongate portion, the adaptor defining one or more passages between the circumferential wall and the outer surface of the elongate portion. The adaptor can be coupled to an opening of the container such that the elongate portion is suspended in the container and so that at least a portion of the elongate portion is submerged in the liquid in the container. The one or more passages allow the liquid to exit the vessel while the elongate portion is disposed in the container, allowing a user to consume the liquid in the container while the module is disposed in the container. A plurality of adaptors of varying sizes can be provided to allow use of the module with containers of varying sizes.

A feeding apparatus includes a food container. The food container includes an open end and a closed end. The food container is provided on a surface thereof with one or more apertures. The food container is made of a resilient material for use with foodstuff.

A bottle for baby formula that includes: a main liquid portion; a formula portion attached to the liquid portion, where the formula portion includes an infant formula for consumption and is adapted for removal; an attachment means that provides a means to attach the formula portion to the liquid portion of the bottle; a nipple; and a removable cap, where the removable cap covers the nipple. Preferably, the attachment means is a threaded connection and the liquid portion includes a curved outer surface. The infant formula may be a premixed powder mixable with water.

A baby bottle system including a bottle assembly and a detachable unit. The baby bottle system disclosed herein is configured to enhance a baby's feeding routine, stimulate a baby's cognitive and emotional development, and prevent nipple/bottle confusion.

A dispensing cap comprising a grasping body, a spout engaging bore and a dispensing coupling. The dispensing coupling has a dispensing cap coupled thereto through a tether. A pouch assembly is likewise disclosed, as is a process of enteral feeding with a pouch and a dispensing cap attachable to the spout. The dispensing cap can be provided and attached to a spout of a pouch (upon removal of a filling cap) wherein the dispensing cap may be provided in a sterilized bag or pouch prior to use. Methods and processes are likewise disclosed.

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.

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.
