Abstract:
The instant invention relates to a baby formula defoaming device, and a method of defoaming baby formula. According to the instant invention, the baby formula defoaming device includes a treaded cap having an aperture therein, a stopper, and a seal. The stopper includes a shaft having a channel therethrough and a sealable valve. The sealable valve includes cooperating elastic parts, which define a slit therebetween. The sealable valve is adapted to close the channel, and the stopper is adapted to receive a pump device mounted thereon. The seal joins the stopper to the cap via the aperture. According to the instant invention, the method of defoaming baby formula includes the following steps: (1) providing water and baby formula in a bottle; (2) capping the bottle with a baby formula defoaming device; (3) connecting a pump device to the defoaming device; (4) removing the air from the bottle via the pump device; (5) disconnecting the pump device from the defoaming device; (6) shaking the bottle; (7) thereby generating a homogenous admixture of water and baby formula, and foams; (8) releasing air back into said bottle via defoaming device; (9) thereby removing said foams from said homogenous admixture; and (10) replacing the defoaming device with a cap adapted to feed a baby.
