2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, infant milk powder such as skimmed milk powder and modified milk powder has a high solubility in water and good miscibility, and since protein is softened by heating, it is said to have better digestibility than milk. And is widely used as a nutritional supplement for infants. When breastfeeding, first, after the required amount of milk powder has been weighed into the baby bottle, hot water is poured into the baby bottle, and then the opening of the baby bottle is sealed with a nipple with a cap and shaken in the air. The milk powder is dissolved by this, and after melting, after cooling to human skin (40 ° C), the cap of the nipple is removed to feed the baby. However, such a method of feeding a baby is unsanitary since various bacteria in the atmosphere may be mixed into the milk powder during mixing because the milk powder is dissolved in water in the air. Also, because you have to weigh the powdered milk each time you breastfeed and dissolve it in water,
There is also a risk of making a mistake in weighing. Moreover, since the nipple before use must be disinfected with hot water at the time of use, the operation is troublesome,
There are various problems such as that it takes time to feed a baby.
