2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, infant milk powder such as skimmed milk powder and modified milk powder has high solubility in water and good miscibility, and since protein is softened by heating, it is said to have better digestibility than milk. It is generally widely used as a nutritional supplement for infants. Then, this method of use is to first measure the required amount of milk powder in a baby bottle, inject hot water or water into the baby bottle, then seal the opening of the baby bottle with a nipple with a cap in hot water or in air. The milk powder dissolves in water by shaking the bottle. After that, the nipple cap is removed and the baby is given a baby drink. However, such a method of feeding an infant is unsanitary because there is a risk that various bacteria in the air will be mixed into the milk during the preparation because the milk is dissolved in water in the air for drinking. In addition, since milk powder must be measured and dissolved in water each time breastfeeding, there is a risk that the formulation will be wrong. Moreover, the nipple before use must be disinfected with hot water before use, so the operation is troublesome,
It has various problems such that it takes time to feed an infant.

The present inventor has already proposed, as Japanese Patent Application No. 7-43702, a baby beverage container for solving these problems, in which a baby beverage prepared by previously dissolving a powdered milk in a liquid is stored in a hermetically sealed state to feed the baby. Although a beverage container for infants was developed and applied for a patent, the baby beverage previously dissolved in a liquid has a storage period of only about one month, and has a drawback that the baby beverage is denatured after the storage period. The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and its object is a container capable of feeding an infant by a simple operation of mixing a liquid previously contained in the container body and an emulsion hermetically contained in a protective body. Is provided.
