Abstract

The portable infant bottle filler and warmer machine may make it much easier to prepare bottles of formula or breast milk when feeding babies. It may be used at home, in a hospital, and while traveling. The machine mixes the appropriate amount of formula and water based on the ounces needed for the baby, and once mixed, warms the liquid to the appropriate temperature for feeding. The machine may also be used to pump and manage breast milk production. Pumped breast milk is kept cool until ready for use, and is then warmed to the necessary temperature. Other items such as wipes may be warmed within the machine as well for the comfort of the baby.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to infant care and more particularly to a machine which helps parents with specific tasks such as making and warming bottles to the correct temperature.

[0018] Referring now to the drawings FIGS. 1-5, showing various views of the portable infant bottle filler and warmer system designed to make feeding and changing a baby less complicated for parents when they at home and traveling. This machine may be used as a breast pump. After placing a bottle 10 with a flat top 15 in the machine 1 and placing the breast shield 50 on one breast, the machine 1 is turned on and set to breast pump mode as shown on the touchscreen 60 in FIG. 5. The user then selects a comfortable pressure level, and the pumped milk is transferred from the breast to the bottle through the attached tubing 70, making it easy to monitor the mother's output. Once in the bottle 10, it can be chilled, by selecting the chilling function, until it is needed. Preparing a bottle 10 of formula is just as easy. On the inside of this machine 1, there are separate storage compartments for dry formula and water, and the ingredients may be dispensed in the correct amount needed based on the number of ounces for the bottle 10 being made which is accessible by lifting up a lid 15 in the top of the machine 1. There is a blending tool 80 to mix the water and formula before it is released through the warming tube 90, so it will be at the perfect serving temperature when it flows in the baby's bottle.

[0019] On the machine there is a small blue button which is the power button. Below the power button are the instructions for use in the preferred embodiment. Formula and water may be stored in the machine 1 and may be replaced when the formula and water is low.

[0020] The warming system is set to stay at 98.5 Farenheight, and may be used for heating baby food, wipes, and bottles of breast milk. The item to be warmed is placed on a platform 110 inside a door 120, the door 120 is closed, and the warm button 130 is pressed to heat the item within seconds. The door 120 is on hinges and is located on the side of the housing. A case containing a number of baby wipes may be placed on the platform to keep them from drying out and to warm more than one at a time. This machine 1 has a rectangular housing, has a touch screen control panel 60, a carrying handle 250 and a USB port 275 for plugging in the power cord. The handle 250 would be located on the top of the housing. The machine 1 can have a rechargeable battery as a power source.

[0021] A car charger is also included, making it convenient to use on the road. There may also be a light inside the door, which comes on automatically, making it easier to see when using the machine in the middle of the night. It may be available in a plurality of colors. The original version may be compact enough to fit easily in a diaper bag, and there may be a larger version, portable infant bottle filler and warmer for parents of multiples and parents with more than one baby close to the same age.

[0022] The unique features of this invention will provide the following benefits for all consumers: a convenient and portable way to prepare baby bottles and to serve them as the ideal temperature. Can be used to pump breast milk directly into bottles 10 discreetly. Bottles 10 will be chilled to preserve the freshness of the breast milk and warmed before being given to the baby.
