Machine Invents To Prepare Baby Bottles Like Coffee Capsules
- A machine has been developed to prepare bottles like coffee capsules.
- Other gadgets have been designed for breastfeeding.
- Anicet Mbida presents the latest innovations for young parents on “Bonjour! La Matinale TF1”.
The crying baby in the middle of the night, parents trying to measure powdered milk with half-closed eyes, the spilled bottle… If this scene is familiar to many parents, that’s where a machine comes in: the bottle machine. The promise is incredibly simple to summarize, as reported by Anicet Mbida on “Bonjour! La Matinale TF1”: “to make the preparation of a bottle as simple as making a
coffee in a machine
“
.
Specializing in new technologies, the journalist tests one of these machines in the studio, which looks like a classic coffee machine – powdered breast milk in a reservoir at the top of the machine, water in a second reservoir at the back, and a few buttons to control the desired amount of milk. Although the machine on the set doesn’t work (due to calibration issues, according to Anicet Mbida), it is supposed to allow parents to make bottles “with just one hand” for a high price: 250 euros.
Innovations for Breastfeeding
Bottle machines are not the only innovations developed for young parents, the journalist continues. He presents an object on set, smaller, designed for mothers who breastfeed their babies: a connected breast pump. This works with a mobile phone and allows mothers who express their milk to do so at work or during other activities while keeping their hands free. But the specificity of the one presented on set by Anicet Mbida: it has a heating surface. Why? “Because it has been proven that when you heat the breast, milk production is much better and much smoother
,” explains the journalist, who also highlights a high price: 300 euros.
Another innovation, also intended for breastfeeding mothers: the milk consumption monitor that allows monitoring the amount of milk consumed by the baby. “It’s an anxiety we remove from mothers
,” who will be able to know if their baby has had enough milk, he explains. However, the gadget is not yet available to the general public, the journalist points out, noting that it will be in September.
