Abstract
A bottle holder is provided which includes a MP3 player or other high fidelity device that is used to play-back recorded content. In one embodiment, a standard baby bottle can be used with the invention in connection with playing recorded content while a baby is feeding. In another embodiment, the bottle holder includes an activation switch triggered by a bottle position change. The bottle holder can be constructed of a stretchable and conformable cloth material.
Description
- A bottle-fed baby generally takes comfort in sucking on the nipple of a baby bottle. This experience is made more pleasant to the child in connection with the child hearing its mother's voice. Alternatively, a soothing message, song, etc. played while the baby is drinking from a bottle will likely give comfort to the baby during feeding. When the mother cannot administer the bottle to the baby, baby feeding can become problematic. In instances of premature birth, mothers and newborns may be separated for a significant period of time. In these precious times, mothers are not allowed to hold their babies. Consequently, possibly two or three months time of deep attachment between the mother and child can become lost. Moreover, when a song or other audible content that a baby is used to hearing during bottle feeding is not available, the feeding experience becomes less desirable. A need exists to create a mechanism for baby bottle feeding that will allow the play back of high fidelity sounds which will help build the bond between mother and child. Further, a need exists to create a mechanism for baby bottle feeding that will allow the play back of high fidelity sounds familiar to a baby in connection with feeding.
- In one aspect of a preferred embodiment of the invention a bottle holder is provided with a play-back mechanism capable of producing high fidelity sounds.
- In another aspect of a preferred embodiment of the invention a switch is provided to activate the play-back device in connection with a change of position of a baby bottle inserted within the bottle holder.
- In an alternative preferred embodiment of the invention the bottle holder and baby bottle are integrated into a single unit.
- In another alternative preferred embodiment of the invention the bottle holder is constructed from a stretchable and conformable material.

However, in one aspect of its preferred embodiment,container 2 maintains a nearly constant cross-sectional area at its mouth through tobase 6. In one aspect of a preferred embodiment,container cap 3 includes threads (not shown) on its underside which engage reciprocating threads on container 2 (not shown) for the purpose of securing a baby bottle (not shown) withincontainer 2.Ridges 5 provide finger grips by whichcap 3 can be screwed ontocontainer 2. - Preferably within
base 6 or alternatively, attached tocontainer 6 is play-back device 8. In one aspect of a preferred embodiment play-back device 8 is an MP3 player, although a digital audio player, smart card reader, flash memory reader, etc. are also contemplated as play-back device 8. Content for these devices can be recorded on a smartmedia card, a SIMs card, a single in-line memory module, etc. - The players outlined above and in particular, the MP3 player, offer a high degree of accurate voice and music content reproduction. As such, the MP3 player is considered a high fidelity device which is capable of reproducing sounds which would be very recognizable by a baby. An MP3 player is also very desirable due to its lightweight and compact size. These features make the MP3 player well suited for use with the invention particularly in connection with use with a baby.
