Benefits of technology

The present invention is a reusable baby food pouch with a spout and zip lock. It offers a convenient system for storage, transport, and serving of baby food. The pouch has an air tight seal and a separate spout with a zip lock device for easy opening and dispensing of baby food. The pouch is designed to offer an enhanced capacity and overall strength, providing a caregiver with an all in one solution to store and serve baby food. The pouch is safe for handling and can keep the food contents fresh during storage. The invention also provides pouch designs with or without a slider and side gusset styles. The rounded corners make the pouch safe for handling. The pouch allows air to be ejected or kept fresh during storage.

Problems solved by technology

While Hammod's plastic pouch presents a portable way to dispense liquid baby food but it lacks the ability to dispense semi-solid and viscous baby food through the attached teat system which could potentially cause choking hazard upon dispensing such food items.
(2006) discloses an infant feeding pouch with collapsible walls and a nipple for feeding an infant but lack features that makes a pouch reusable after feeding, also dispensing semi-solid food stuff from the nipple is rather difficult and causes nipple clogging.
While Miller's pouch is flexible and portable but cannot be reused.
Additionally, it lacks a well defined spout mechanism to deliver the food contents to the infant.
