Abstract:

A drinking container and its components are described. A cap for the baby bottle includes a reservoir for storage of a dry powder formula. A clamp ring locking indicator for a container is described. The locking indicator indicates when the clamp ring is correctly engaged to the container. A clamp ring also threads and locks to the container with an approximately 180 degree turn. A stir insert for the baby bottle is described. The stir insert is positioned in an interior of the container in order to promote the mixing of the dry powder formula with the liquid. The stir insert includes a paddle portion that oscillates or moves in a back-and-forth manner as the bottle is shaken or stirred. A system cup is described. A single container has different attachments for the period from newborn to childhood to allow a single cup to be used throughout that entire time period.
