This mom had never been able to sit down and feed her baby a bottle. 🥺

Every bottle meant walking. Bouncing. Hoping her baby wouldn’t fuss the second she stopped moving.

Then she tried the bottle-lovey. And for the first time since her daughter was born? She sat down to feed her a bottle. 🤍

That’s what Bottimals was made for. Not just easier bottle feeding — but giving moms back the moments of rest they deserve.

✨ Patent-pending. Mom-invented. Scent-powered comfort.

Palak from says "Such a thoughtful little invention by a mama comes with two scent hearts that help bring a familiar smell to bottle feeding time. A simple idea that can add extra comfort during feeds with different caregivers."

Six months ago I walked into the Shadow Her — Founded by Marcia O'Connor mentorship program as a mom with a big idea, a patent pending product, and a whole lot of questions.

I walked out with these 5 lessons that I now carry into everything I do at Bottimals.

Swipe through — one of these might be exactly what you needed to hear today. 👇

01. No one starts knowing everything. The biggest lesson of all: just start.
02. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, especially in the areas you need to grow.
03. Find mentors who are genuinely willing to share their expertise and insights.
04. And then — be ready to challenge those insights. Growth lives in the questions.
05. Give everything you have. Every single day.

Huge love and gratitude to my mentor Laura for pouring into me for six solid months. You changed the way I think about building a brand.

To every mom, founder, and dreamer out there — mentorship is a gift. Say yes to it.

The bottle-lovey is now easier to find than ever — here’s exactly where to grab one in person.

No waiting. No shipping. Walk in, pick it up, and let your little one fall in love.

Bottimals was created by a mom who wanted bottle feeding to feel like a hug — wrapping your baby’s bottle in a lovey that carries YOUR scent, so even when you can’t hold them, they still feel you.

Drop everything. A 2022 peer-reviewed study just confirmed what moms have always known — and the results are incredible. 🤍

Researchers at Breastfeeding Medicine ran a gold-standard randomized controlled trial on 80 newborns. The only variable? Whether babies were exposed to their mother's scent.

The babies who smelled mom gained more weight.

Not different formula. Not different schedules. Just. Scent.

Here's why this matters so much for bottle-feeding families:
When your baby smells you, their nervous system shifts into "safe mode." Stress hormones drop. Sleep deepens. Feeding improves. Their body stops spending energy on anxiety — and starts spending it on growing.

You are like biological medicine to your baby.

At Bottimals, we built our patent-pending bottle-lovey around exactly this science — because every feeding deserves the comfort of connection, even when you're not the one holding the bottle.

Swipe through, save this post, and share it with every new mom in your life. 💛

Add it to your registry (or do yourself a favor, and but it now!). You’ll thank yourself at 2am later.

Bottle refusal is one of those things nobody warns you about until you’re in the middle of it — exhausted, frustrated, and wondering what you’re doing wrong.

The bottle-lovey is worn by mom first — so it carries her scent.

Built on maternal scent and infant bonding research. Created by a mom who needed it and couldn’t find it anywhere.

Add it to your registry. Share it with a mom who’s expecting. And if you’re already in the thick of bottle refusal — it’s not too late. 🤍
