Concentrated human milk fortifier liquid

Disclosed are concentrated, liquid, human milk fortifier compositions comprising from about 15% to about 45% by weight of protein, on a dry weight basis, and having a caloric density of from about 1.25 kcauml to about 6.0 kcau / ml, wherein the liquid human milk fortifier composition is added to human milk in a volume-volume ratio of from about 1:3 to about 1:9. These composition include embodiments comprising carbohydrate and fat, that are formulated with improved stability by selecting any one of the following variations: 1) certain whey-casein protein blends, 2) water insoluble calcium-containing materials, 3) protein hydrolysates, and 4) aseptically packaged concentrates. The liquid concentrates are especially useful for providing nutrition to preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units or similar other institutional setting, and to minimize the risk of introducing microbial contaminants such as Enterobacter sakazakii to infant feedings during preparation in such institutional settings.

Fully continuously vented drinking cup for infants and children

InactiveUS20060201902A1Eliminate generationPrevention of introduction of air bubblesFeeding-bottlesTeatsFull Term InfantInfant feeding
A fully and continuously vented drinking cup or container for infants and children, which consists of a vessel or container for containing a liquid or formula, having a resilient spout which rests upon its uppermost edge. The interior aspects of the feeding spout, and the feeding diaphragm, are all molded so as to arrange the diaphragm slit, or opening through which the liquid flows, in a position that will be vertically aligned between the lips of the infant feeding, to thereby allow the infant to open the spout and allow the liquid to flow, just as if the child is drinking from a cup. The diaphragm may be shaped concavely, with respect to the structure of the feeding spout. A cap firmly approximates the interior aspects of the feeding spout, and applies it to the top or upper edge of the container, whereby a leak proof seal is formed therebetween, but yet allows air to enter between its retaining collar, and the vent tube and reservoir tube, to allow air access into the container, as liquid is being drank therefrom.

Integrated food package for infants

InactiveUS20060226109A1Safe and effective and complete packagingEasy to operateFeeding-bottlesTeatsCouplingPackage design
An infant feeding apparatus is formed of a filled reservoir, sealed and coupled to a nipple by way of a special coupling element. Gentle tactile manipulation breaks a seal and creates a flow path such that the contents of the reservoir are permitted to pass through the nipple tip. As the package is made of discardable materials it is expendable after use. These packages are designed as one-time use, disposable packages. They are prepared with integrated food; ready for consumption. In best versions, a highly unique cap and nipple design enables a plurality of functions desirable in packages of this nature. These systems include: a cap which drives various function related to flow control; a specialized nipple element; a base element provides a coupling to both the reservoir envelope containing food and to the cap which maintains a sanitized seal but is removable and replaceable under simple tactile manipulation.
