Abstract: A diaphragm for a breast pump comprises a cavity having an open end for receiving a nipple of a user and a closed end. A valve closure element is provided for forming part of a valve, the valve closure element extending from a bottom edge of the open end controlling a flow path to a milk container through a first part of a container opening. The diaphragm also defines a lid for sealing a second part of the container opening. In this way, the container can have a large lid opening, and the diaphragm seals one part of the opening as well as defining a fluid path through a valve to another part of the opening.

Abstract: An internal element (310) for a feeding bottle (100) is provided, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component (110), and a container component (120), which together define a bottle volume extending longitudinally between a base end of the container component, and a top end of the teat component. The internal element (310) comprises a disc element (620) configured to be positioned within the bottle volume extending transverse the longitudinal axis, and further comprises one or more tab elements (640) protruding from an outer periphery (630) of the disc element for being received between interfacing parts of a coupling arrangement (340, 342) of the bottle.

Abstract: An expression assembly for breast pump comprises a diaphragm, a cover over the diaphragm to define a sealed space between them, and a breast shield to which the cover and diaphragm are coupled. The diaphragm defines a cavity having an open end for receiving a nipple of a user and a closed end. The open end is angled back at the top to cover more of the top of the breast. This enables the diaphragm to provide better stimulation of the breast as well reducing leakage.

Abstract: An indicator system is provided for a milk container comprising a time display element with a time scale for indicating a freshness of milk. In one aspect, there are first and second indicator elements for indicating first and second selected portions of the time scale to signify when the milk container was filled and when the milk has reached a freshness threshold i.e. a particular storage time. In another aspect, there are first and second time scales on respective portions of the time display element, e.g. for fridge storage and for freezer storage, and an indicator element. A selected one of the first and second portions is in-use and the indicator element indicates a selected portion of the in-use first or second time scale.

Abstract: An internal element (310) for a feeding bottle (100) is provided, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component (110), and a container component (120), which together define a bottle volume extending longitudinally between abase end of the container component, and a top end of the teat component. The internal element (310) comprises a disc element (620) configured to be positioned within the bottle volume extending transverse the longitudinal axis, and further comprises one or more tab elements (640) protruding from an outer periphery (630) of the disc element for being received between interfacing parts of a coupling arrangement (340, 342) of the bottle.
