<p>A method, and apparatus is taught to help infants change diets. An absorbent pad (12) having an odorant is placed on a baby bottle so as to be near the baby's nose when ingesting. First the odorant is paired to a flavored diet of the baby. Then the odorant is coupled to a novel diet which the baby is not so fond of. The result is that the baby ingests more than usual of the novel diet. Other aspects include a flavor ring (1500) on a baby bottle (4) or a bowl (172) and a plurality of flavor dots (160) on a baby bottle (4) or bowl (172). The inventive concept of placing a pleasing odorant near a user's nose during drinking can help babies, elderly people, and even pets ingest more fluids.</p> |
