Abstract
A single-use, disposable device for feeding breast milk and similar nutritionals to infants and babies includes a pre-sterilized, semi rigid, flexible storage bag having a sealable end and a barbed fitment plugged with a removable ring pin that allows a temporary seal until the bag is ready to be used for infant feeding. The ring is pulled to remove the pin from the barbed fitment, allowing a feeding nipple device to be attached so the infant can draw breast milk directly from the feeding nipple device connected to the semi rigid, flexible storage bag containing the breast milk.
