20150335533 | Automatic Pacing System for a Baby Bottle - A baby bottle, an insert for a baby bottle, a baby bottle including an insert, and a method of feeding an infant that serves to pace the infant's feeding rhythm. Generally, these devices and methods will be of use for a preterm infant who lacks coordination of the suck-swallow-breathe synchrony, but can also be used with full term infants who can benefit from rigid control of the flow of milk from a bottle, this includes, but is not limited to, infants with gastroesophageal reflux who can require pacing of feeds to allow for gastric emptying. The device generally cues the infant to swallow and breathe after each 1-4 sucks by stopping the flow of the fluid from the bottle after the infant has sucked sufficiently or a predetermined period of time has passed. Once the baby breathes or a period of time passes, the bottle resets for the next repetition. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding. | 11-26-2015 |
20150342831 | TWIST TOP 2000 - I Have invented a new baby bottle. That has been designed to hold two liquids inside one 8½ oz. bottle. This bottle can also discharge each liquid from the same op or nipple separately, without mixing the two sides. What I have done was taken the old conventional baby bottle, and reconstructed a new improved design. “THE TWIST TOP 2000”. This new baby bottle will not only hold and dispense two liquids. It has a new sleaker design. We have installed infant holding handles. These handles are used to equal out the bottle weight, and small enough for a infant to grab and hold at an earlier stage. Instead of making two bottles to hold each liquid, Now one bottle can do the job. This means less time to prepare and more time to be aware of your child or infant. No more digging around to find that other bottle. No more carring around that extra weight. “THE TWIST TOP | 12-03-2015 |
20150342832 | LIQUID NUTRITION BOTTLE - A bottle for storing liquid nutrition and feeding liquid nutrition to an infant. The bottle includes a base portion, a neck portion for removably securing a cap or nipple, and a body portion disposed between the base portion and the neck portion. A rib protrudes from an outer surface of the bottle and is arranged for manual gripping by a user to manipulate a position of the bottle relative the infant. The outer surface of the bottle may include at least two remote and distinct outer surface areas which each define a cylindrical section of the bottle. Each surface area may be positioned for engagement by machinery during a filling operation. | 12-03-2015 |
20150366759 | Illuminating Baby Bottle with Removable Container - An illuminating baby bottle with a removable container includes a first container, a second container, a release mechanism, a connecting member, a liquid-flowing system, a bottle cap, and a lighting device. The first container and the second container are axially attached to each other through the connecting member while the release mechanism is concentrically positioned in between the first container and the connecting member. The release mechanism selectively rotates in between a locked position and an unlocked position in such a way that the locked position separately stores baby formula and water while the unlocked position allows the mixing of baby formula and water. The liquid-flowing system releases baby formula mixture from the first container so that infants or young children can be fed with the baby formula mixture. The lighting device is positioned on the bottle cap and can selectively operate in between an on-position and an off-position. | 12-24-2015 |
20160051449 | BABY BOTTLE HOLDING DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A support system for a baby bottle has a support body having a generally cylindrical portion. A channel is defined within the support body. A slot is defined between slot edges of the support body extending between a first end portion and a second end portion. First and second handle portions are coupled to the support body. The first and second handle portions are coupled to the support body at an angle less than about 120 degrees apart from each other about a surface of the support body. The support body is sized and configured to support a baby bottle positioned within the channel defined within the support body. In some embodiments, the first and second handle portions have handle grip portions that are coupled to the support body at an angle between about 5 degrees and about 30 degrees relative to a surface of the support body. | 02-25-2016 |
20160058672 | Baby bottle designed for cleaning without a brush - The present invention is an improved baby bottle with at least one wide diameter aperture to allow persons who have large hands to clean the bottle without using a brush. The baby bottle is comprised of an upper body, a lower body, and a coupler. The upper body and the lower body are connected by the coupler. The exterior surface of upper body and the exterior surface of the lower body have threaded necks that surround the apertures of the upper and lower bodies respectively. The apertures of the baby bottle are of sufficient size to accommodate a human hand. The threaded necks of the upper body and threaded neck of the lower body allow the upper and lower bodies to be screwed into threads of the interior surface of the coupler. | 03-03-2016 |

The system further includes a stopper component removably engageable with the opening of the closure device, wherein when the stopper component is engaged with the opening, the stopper component obstructs the opening preventing a flow of fluid through the opening, and wherein displacement of the stopper component from the opening allows fluid communication through the opening. | 03-31-2016 |
20160089306 | STACKABLE BABY BOTTLE ASSEMBLY WITH NESTABLE CAP AND METHOD THEREFOR - A stackable baby bottle assembly with a nestable cap comprises a bottle base, a ring, a nipple, a cap, and, optionally, a sieve. The bottle base includes a plurality of edge members. A plurality of bottle bases may be stacked for storage. When a plurality of bottle bases are stacked, the edge members form space between the bottle bases, thereby permitting air to flow between the bottle bases. The bottle base and cap may include nesting regions, such that the cap may be inverted and snapped onto place onto the bottom of the bottle base, which may be convenient during feeding. A plurality of caps may be stacked for storage. | 03-31-2016 |
