Abstract
A partitioning component () for dividing a feeding bottle () into two sections: one () associated with a container () part of the bottle and one () associated with a teat part () of the bottle. The partition allows for at least partial retention of liquid in the teat part even when the bottle is tipped in a horizontal position, the more natural position for feeding a user such as a baby or toddler. To enable flow of fluid between the two sections, the partitioning component comprises a passageway arrangement () which comprises one or more openings () and the passageway arrangement configured to enable flow of both liquid and air across the partition in different directions. This allows liquid to pass in, and air to pass out, of the teat section () during filling of the teat. To enable maximal retention of liquid inside the teat section when the bottle is tilted in the horizontal position, the openings of the passageway arrangement are all confined to a single region of the partitioning component which, in use, is arranged offset on one diametric side of the bottle volume or of the teat volume.
