Partitioning component for a feeding bottle

A partitioning component for a feeding bottle, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component, and a container component, 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 bottle volume having a longitudinal axis extending from the base end to the top end, and a diametric dimension extending orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, the partitioning component for fluidly dividing the bottle volume into two longitudinal sections, a teat section extending from the top end of the feeding bottle to the partitioning component, and a container section extending from the partitioning component toward the base end of the feeding bottle, and the partitioning component comprising a fluid passageway arrangement comprising a plurality of openings at different heights along the longitudinal axis for permitting flow of fluid across the partitioning component;

• wherein the fluid passageway arrangement is arranged such that when the partitioning component is in place in the feeding bottle for dividing the bottle volume, the fluid passageway arrangement is located on one diametric side of the bottle volume, or the teat section of the bottle volume, and wherein a remainder of the partitioning component provides no fluid communication between the container component and the teat component, the fluid passageway arrangement configured to permit simultaneous flow of both liquid and air in different respective directions across the partitioning component, wherein the fluid passageway arrangement includes at least one opening having a diameter of at least 10 mm and wherein the partitioning component includes at least two substantially parallel surfaces at different heights including a first surface at a lowermost height and a second surface at an uppermost height, and at least one first opening is provided in the first surface and at least one second opening is provided in the second surface, and the at least one first opening and the at least one second opening have approximately the same size and wherein the partitioning component has a main component and a single extruded component a first boundary of one of the plurality of openings is arranged to be at a first height along the direction of the longitudinal axis in the main component, and a second boundary of at least a second one of the plurality of openings is arranged to be at a second, greater height in the single extruded component.
