Feeding bottle

Abstract

Feeding bottle is an essential item for every parent with infant and toddlers. There are several types of feeding bottles but I have never found one that would have fulfilled my expectation of keeping the infant formula unspoiled for a longer period and also carrying less items with me while going for a short trip for a picnic or a day-long party. This design will keep the formula powder and the water separated in the bottle with a heat resistant divider and keep the water worm or cold or at a normal temperature through a low weight thermal coating. Parents do not have to carry water flask/bottles, feeding bottles and also formula containers. This single bottle serves all three purposes. In addition once Formula is mixed with water it is good for only one hour but by keeping the water separated the formula will remain unspoiled for a longer period.
