  • Patent number: 6112749
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is taught to help infants change diets. An absorbent pad having an odorant is placed on a baby bottle so as to be near the baby's nose when ingesting. First the odorant is paired to a flavored diet of the baby. Then the odorant is coupled to a novel diet which the baby is not so fond of. The result is the baby ingests more than usual of the novel diet. Other aspects include a flavor ring on a baby bottle or a bowl and a plurality of flavor dots on a baby bottle or bowl. The inventive concept of placing a pleasing odorant near a user's nose during drinking can help babies, elderly people and even pets ingest more fluids.
