Abstract

[Use of item]; This designed item is a baby bottle. ;[Design Description];This design of the bottle minimizes the amount of air inhaled by the baby during breastfeeding to avoid colic. The offset nipple slows down the tilt of the bottle during feeding and improves the baby's feeding posture; therefore, the baby can be more upright during feeding and less likely to suck air through the nipple. The valve that allows air to enter the bottle when removing milk can be placed above the teat to prevent air from creating bubbles in the milk and oxidizing the milk. ;The bottle is approximately square, making it easier for the mother or baby to correctly adjust the position of the offset nipple and air inlet valve during breastfeeding. The square design forms part of the closing mechanism making it easy to close the bottle with one hand. Square bottles can effectively save cabinet storage space. ;The pacifier has an oval shape to help the baby latch on. In side view, when the bottle is adjusted to the feeding position, there is a larger surface under the nipple and an area for the baby to use his tongue to "suck" milk from the nipple (peristaltic motion). This promotes natural feeding and the transition from bottle to breast, which is what babies do when feeding at the breast. The shape of the nipple makes bottle feeding with this design similar to breast feeding. The part of the bottle that stores milk (the lower container) has a simple, open shape from top to bottom, and has no obvious shoulders (compared to conventional blow-molded bottles). It is easy to clean and can be stacked for storage. When used with the resealable lid, it becomes a container for baby food or drinks, extending the life of the bottle. ;Nipple cap covers the nipple, emphasizing the nipple's offset shape and minimizing the overall enclosure of the complete product.
