BABYBOTTLE: Dual chamber feeding bottle for on-demand mixing of powdered formula

This infant bottle allows caregivers to quickly mix powdered formula and water when away from home, saving critical time when baby is crying while eliminating the common problem of spilling powder when filling the bottle. After pre-loading up the chambers with powder and water, when formula is desired the bottle is 1) turned upside down, 2) the white stopper is unscrewed, which allows the powder to enter the water chamber, 3) the bottle is shaken, and 4) the white stopper is screwed back in, which completes the 15-second process. Parts were minimized and shaped for simplicity of cleaning.
