Abstract
The device of the present invention includes a compact baby bottle attachment. The device of the present invention is a pod that is functional as a cap to a baby bottle, a storage container for powdered formula, and a dispenser for powdered formula. The device is removably attachable to conventional baby bottles and eases the baby feeding process by storing powdered formula separately from the water reservoir, sealing the powdered formula compartment with a ring plug, and including a nip housing depression to ensure the nip is erect and ready to feed upon removal of the pod.
