The present invention relates to a feeding system () for infants comprising a bottle () for storing and releasing a fluid, at least one sensor () arranged in or at the bottle () for measuring one or more bottle parameters, a data processing unit () for processing the measured bottle parameters to generate an advice related to at least one bottle parameter, and an indicator () for issuing said advice to a user of the feeding system ().

Feeding system for an infant and method of using such a system

The present invention relates to a feeding bottle device () comprising at least one air vent valve () for allowing the passage of air from outside the feeding bottle device () to within a container volume () when the feeding bottle device () is assembled, a confined volume forming component () for defining a confined volume () within a container volume () of a container component () of the feeding bottle device (), wherein the confined volume () is configured to provide a controlled opening () for air entering through the air vent valve () into the container volume (), and an optional duct forming component () for forming a guidance duct () from the at least one air vent valve () to the confined volume (). The feeding bottle device () reduces the risk of colic-like symptoms for an infant.

Feeding bottle device

A valve, such as for feeding appliances, has an inner space and walls partly enclosing the inner space. The inner space has a smaller first end and an opposing larger second end. The first end has a dimension being larger than 0 mm and smaller than or equal to 0.2 mm, and the inner space forms an opening through the valve or is closed at the first end by a closing part of the valve. The closing part of the valve has a thickness which is smaller than or equal to 0.1 mm.

Valve and manufacturing method for manufacturing the valve

The present application relates to a breast pump system. The breast pump system comprises a vacuum path for creating a pressure reduction on a breast. A pump unit generates and releases a pressure reduction in the vacuum path, and comprises a vacuum pump (). A leakage aperture () is configured to allow a controlled release of a pressure reduction in at least part of the vacuum path so that the pressure reduction in at least part of the vacuum path is released in the event that the pump unit fails to release the pressure reduction in the vacuum path. The vacuum pump () has a discharge port () for discharging air drawn from the vacuum path, and the leakage aperture () is disposed proximate to the discharge port () so that airflow discharged from the discharge port () is directed over the leakage aperture ().
