Combined infant feeding and pacifier retention device
A combined infant feeding and pacifier retention device is an apparatus used to retain and distribute breastmilk or other fluids. The apparatus is also configured to store a pacifier for selective use. The apparatus comprises a liquid retention chamber, a pacifier retaining mechanism, and a feeding spout. The liquid retention chamber is a contained volume that enables transportation of inserted liquids, particularly milk or breastmilk. The pacifier retaining mechanism is a unit that enables storage of any of a variety of pacifiers. The feeding spout is a unidirectional valve that enables fluid transfer from the liquid retention chamber. The feeding spout is preferably made of any of a variety of soft, bisphenol A-free (BPA-free) materials that effectively operates when utilized as a mouthpiece for an infant. The general configuration of the aforementioned components allows the apparatus to efficiently and effectively store and distribute fluids to users.
TEETHING SYSTEM
One or more biting elements of a teething system are cooled to below ambient temperature, while a handle of the teething system is left at ambient temperature. One of the biting elements is selected by the caregiver and is inserted into a receptacle in the handle. As assembled, a cooled teething surface on the biting element is exposed so that a baby may bite it, but at the same time the baby's hands are insulated by the handle from contacting the cooled biting element.
Baby-item holder
A pacifier-securing device includes a spring clamp to hold a pacifier and a gooseneck arm connected to the spring clamp. The spring clamp includes a first arm and a second arm separated by a gap in a longitudinal direction between the first arm and the second arm, such that a mouth shield of the pacifier is held in place by a force exerted by the spring clamp in a transverse direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. A handle of the pacifier protrudes from the spring clamp along the transverse direction, and an elongated teat of the pacifier protrudes from the spring clamp in the transverse direction opposite the handle. The gooseneck arm holds the spring clamp in a substantially fixed configuration under a weight of the pacifier.
TACTILE SENSORY DEVICE FOR USE BY A BABY OR CHILD
There is provided a tactile sensory device for use by a baby or child. The tactile sensory device comprises a pulsation actuator configured to, in use, produce a mechanical vibration having a pulsatile waveform that is the same, or substantially the same as, a pulsatile waveform of blood flowing in an umbilical cord.
Detachable Pacifier
Disclosed is a detachable pacifier, comprising a limiting device and a pressing device which can be disassembled and assembled with each other, wherein a nipple is arranged below the limiting device, a dustproof cover is arranged outside the pacifier, the limiting device comprises a limiting plate and an annular support portion extending upwards along the limiting plate, an upper edge of the annular support portion is provided with annular clamping portions at intervals, the pressing device comprises a lower end cover, an upper end cover and a pull ring which can be disassembled and assembled with each other, an upper portion of the lower end cover and the lower end cover body form an annular connecting wall, a groove is arranged in the annular connecting wall in the central symmetrical direction, and the pull ring is arranged in the groove. According to the invention, by means of arranging buckles and the clamping portions at a structural matching portion, the assembly of corresponding structures can be completed by aligning and sequentially placing and then pressing and rotating the buckles. Such a structure can be disassembled, mounted and cleaned at any time. By arranging the clamping blocks at the notch of the annular support portion and arranging a limiting block matching the clamping block in the lower end cover, the pacifier can be prevented from being disassembled by infants, and the structure is stable.
TEETHING HARNESS
A material/flexible harness that has three (3) teething toys built in and is secured to a child's body over clothing by straps with hooks and loop fasteners.
Magnetic Pacifier with Tracking Device
This present invention relates to a magnetic pacifier that is capable of being used with a face mask or other facial covering, and that does not negatively impact the effectiveness of the facial covering. The magnetic pacifier is of two part construction, wherein a first flange is positioned on one side of the facial covering, and a second flange is positioned on the opposite side of the facial covering but magnetically attached to the first flange. The magnetic pacifier further comprises a discreet but effective RFID tag, GPS chip or other location beacon that will allow the parent, guardian, caregiver or law enforcement to located a missing child via the pacifier.
Infant Bib Assembly
An infant bib assembly for inhibiting an infant from dropping a pacifier includes a bib that has a collar being integrated therein to extend around the infants' neck when the bib is worn for retaining the bib on the infant. A wire is integrated into the bib thereby facilitating the collar to be shaped. In this way the wire facilitates the collar to be shaped around the infant's neck to inhibit the bib from falling off of the infant. A pacifier is removably attachable to the bib to inhibit the pacifier from being dropped when the bib is being worn and the infant is suckling on the pacifier. In this way a caregiver does not have to continually retrieve the pacifier when the infant drops the pacifier.
NEWBORN ANTI-SCRATCH AND CHEW MITT
The invention is directed to an anti-scratch and chew mitts that are designed to have a selectively exposed teething surface. The selectively exposed teething surface can have teething elements for an infant to chew while teething. The anti-scratch and chew mitt can have a reversible teething cap that can be reconfigured from a teething configuration to a protective configuration. The teething elements being exposed about an outer surface of the teething cap in the first teething configuration. The teething cap is reversible such that the teething cap can be folded inside-out and over itself in a second protective configuration. In the second protective configuration the first surface of the teething cap having the teething elements is inverted upon itself thereby containing the outer surface having the teething elements of the teething cap within an interior of the teething cap in the second configuration.
INFANT PACIFIER
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.
