Abstract: A method includes scanning a user's nipple via a user computing device to generate a scan image and applying a machine learning engine to the scan image to identify the user's nipple. The method also includes generating an output scan image via the machine learning engine, where the output scan image includes features identifying the user's nipple within the output scan image. The method also includes applying a genetic algorithm to the output scan image to generate a 3D image of the user's nipple, where the genetic algorithm employs at least one genetic process and where the 3D image of the user's nipple is a baby bottle nipple profile. The method also includes transmitting the 3D image of the user's nipple to a second user computing device for 3D printing of a custom baby bottle nipple, where the custom baby bottle nipple is a 3D replication of the user's nipple.
Abstract: A feeding device includes a fluid reservoir and a nipple configured to be attached to the fluid reservoir. The nipple includes a body portion defining a compartment configured to contain a liquid so as to mimic a feel of a mother's breast. The body portion comprises a nipple tip comprising a fluid outlet. The nipple includes a base member attached to the body portion, the base member including an attachment portion configured to attach the nipple to the fluid reservoir. The base member comprises a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The nipple includes a fluid passageway extending through the compartment from the fluid inlet to the nipple tip, where the fluid passageway allows fluid to flow from the fluid reservoir to the fluid outlet. A valve member positioned on the base member adjusts a flow rate of fluid from the fluid reservoir into the fluid passageway.
