Overview of Problem

Feeding can be a time of anxiety for new parents. Trying to ensure that liquid is the right temperature can be even stressful. A baby’s milk is often heated using boiling water which could sometimes result in overheating and scald the baby. Traditionally, parents test the temperature by squirting a few milk onto their arm, relying on their sensory reaction to judge the temperature. This is messy and often inaccurate. While there are baby bottles with temperature readers on the market, we sought to design an ambient baby bottle that is connected to the internet to notify parents and uses LED lights to evoke certain emotions through color, intensity, and pattern.
