Embodiment Construction

[0014] Figure 1A and 1B An example of a device shown in and taught herein. In this device, a bottle 100 (which may be a conventional bottle for storing expressed breast milk) is first filled with unconcentrated expressed breast milk. A screw-on spigot 102 is shown comprising a forward osmosis membrane 104 spanning a ring to screw the spigot 102 under the threads of the bottle 100 . Other shapes and materials can be used for the bottle 100, and techniques other than screwing can be used to attach the bottle 100 and the socket 102, provided that a ring is formed that prevents fluid from inside the bottle 100 from leaking out of the bottle 100. A sealing ring or other sealing component made of a resilient polymer may be used, for example, to form a fluid-tight seal between the bottle 100 and the socket 102 . Both bottle 100 and spigot 102 are ideal food-safe fluid containers.

[0015] The forward osmosis membrane 104 may form a pouch 106 within the socket 102, which is fille...

Abstract

Nutrition in concentrated human milk may be achieved using an apparatus comprising a first sheet of material having a forward osmosis membrane; a second sheet of material sealed to said first sheet of material around a common outer perimeter of the sheet, said first a sheet of material arranged such that water can traverse the forward osmosis membrane to the interior of the first and second sheets; and dry carbohydrates within the interiors of the first and second sheets exhibiting osmosis Draw properties to draw water from unconcentrated expressed breast milk to form concentrated breast milk. After a predetermined time, or when a desired amount of breast milk remains after drawing through the membrane, drawing may end.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 923,542, filed January 3, 2014, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 050,898, filed September 16, 2014, each of which The entire content of one is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to concentrated nutrition in human milk, especially for premature infants. Background technique [0004] Premature infants often require supplementation to add nutrition to expressed human milk. Available supplements contain milk protein and / or soy. One type of breast milk enhancer available is made using pasteurized mixed breast milk, which destroys some of the nutrients found in freshly expressed breast milk. Such supplements are the first foreign objects introduced into a baby's gut. The risk of intolerance to traditional enhancer feeding is most pronounced for the potential development of necrot...
