4.
Step 4: Bring comfort to feeding time
Your scent helps create a familiar and calming feeding experience.
Bottle refusal is a common problem
61% of moms who breastfeed experience bottle refusal with their baby[1]
During breastfeeding, babies experience familiar sensory cues: mom’s scent, warmth, softness, closeness.
When those cues disappear while transitioning to a bottle, some babies resist the change.
The power of mom's scent
Babies recognize mom's scent from birth. That familiar comfort helps soothe infants and encourages natural feeding.
Studies show that mom's scent can:
- Calm distressed infants
- Stimulate feeding instincts
- Support feeding behaviors
- Reduce stress response
Bottimals brings that familiar scent into bottle time, helping babies feel safe and supported — even when mom's not there

Helps make the shift from breastfeeding to bottle feeding feel more familiar.

My son has taken a bottle since birth and all of a sudden he isn't eating as much so I tried the bottle-lovey and I think it was the perfect thing! He looked at it and ate the easiest 2 ounces he's eaten all day. He was barely eating, we usually have to prop the twins and feed them with me sitting there or I try to hold one of them to feed and he was still barely latching on the bottle and I put the lovey on and he ate the best 2 ounces without coming off the bottle.

Leaving my son around his mealtime has always been a worry for me as an exclusively breastfeeding mom - what if he doesn't take the bottle since I'm not there? Well, Bottimals helped bridge that gap for those times that I can't *physically* be there, leaving a part of me still present for mealtime. It has made the transition to the bottle much easier for everyone. Our little guy has been loving his bottle-lovey and feeding like a champ!

My sweet nephew just did NOT want to settle and take a bottle this weekend while his mom was taking time with their toddler. I had a Bottimal we hadn’t tried yet as mom was primarily nursing the first few months. That did the trick! Pretty cool! Well fed baby, mom got bonding time with toddler— winning all around!

My son is exclusively breastfed. He will take a bottle, but its reluctantly. I was worried when he started daycare that he wouldn't take a bottle at all, so I purchased this to help. His teachers let him smell/hold the lovey rather than it be attached to the bottle, however it seems to work! He takes his bottles at daycare like a champ and gets the comforting smell of mom is the process.

Thanks to the bottle lovey our 7 month old is taking bottles with no issues when she had only ever finished one bottle in her life before it! I even took the lovey off to adjust it for just a second and she didn't want it until I put it back on! It helps her a lot and has totally changed our experience with bottles. I now am able to leave her with someone else, when that really wasn't an option before. Thank you!

I gave this as a gift. The mom to be was very happy to receive it and can’t wait for dad to give it a try!

This is a client I've had since birth and she was mostly breastfed but to let her mama sleep a little more we introduced bottles around 2-3 weeks. She did great with them while I was there but once our 6 weeks were up she wasn't getting bottles very often and then was mostly refusing them. I recommended mom try Bottimals! Today, was my first day back with them in a couple weeks and she took the bottle no problem while using the Bottimals bottle-lovey! Mom wore the hearts in her nursing bra while baby was sleeping and I popped it in when I made the bottle. This pic she isn't looking at it, but she was staring at that bunny pretty intently at times. Mom was actually in the room while I was feeding (and snagged this pic so that shows you how well Bottimals was working)!!!

This was a perfect gift for a friend who recently had a baby. She said it not only helps her but also helps her husband take turns feeding!

Finally tried our bottimal last night and it worked so well!! Jack is so fussy with bottles so we've barely been giving them to him but wanted to start reintroducing them again and he finished the whole bottle no crying or fussing! It's a miracle!
