Abstract: A milk collection vessel with a flexible sidewall and a rigid collar may be attached either to a lever-operated breast pump assembly or to a passive breast pump assembly. The lever-operated assembly has a vessel tube axis offset from the vessel axis to make the lever easier to operate with a small hand. The breast flange of the passive breast pump assembly is formed of an elastomer and, prior to application to the breast, may be everted with the aid of manual tabs.

Abstract: An infant feeder has a handle with a proximally extending tongue and a pouch assembly for fitting over the tongue. The tongue has first and second axially spaced apart detenting structures. In a first configuration, a pouch assembly detenting structure is engaged with the first tongue detenting structure. In order to achieve a second configuration, a predetermined axial force is applied to the pouch assembly relative to the handle, so as to disengage the pouch assembly detenting structure from the first tongue detenting structure, slide the pouch assembly distally down a sidewall of the tongue and engage the second tongue detenting structure. This decreases the size of the food volume bounded by the pouch assembly and the tongue, and proximally displaces any food contained therein.

Abstract: A personal care vapor composition, particularly useful for application to the skin of infants, is an emulsion of an oil phase and an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase includes one or more C3-C6 polyols. The oil phase includes an emollient selected from one or more triglycerides of C6-C18 fatty acids and isopropyl isostearate, an olfactory component comprising one or more essential oils, and an olfactory component fixative selected from the group consisting of amphiphilic terpene-based polyethers, Commiphora myrhha extract, methyl hydrogenated rosinate and mixtures thereof. The composition may be easily washed out of clothing that it contacts during use, and has a high perception of vapor intensity.

Abstract: A hot/cold breast pack has a front sheet exhibiting a first thermal conductance and a back sheet exhibiting a second thermal conductance different from the first thermal conductance. The front and back sheets are bonded together at their periphery to enclose a gel. The user selects one of the front sheet and the back sheet for application to the breast to deliver heat or cold therapy.
