Bottimals® Featured in The Bucks County Herald: A Big Moment for a Small but Mighty Mom-Founded Brand

We’re thrilled to share that Bottimals®, the original bottle-lovey® designed to support peaceful feeding transitions, was recently featured in The Bucks County Herald—a publication known for spotlighting stories that uplift local innovation and community impact.

This recognition is more than a press mention. It’s a moment that celebrates every parent who has ever struggled with bottle refusal and searched for a gentler, scent-supported way forward.

A Local Story With Global Heart

The Bucks County Herald highlighted the story behind Bottimals®—how the product began with one mom’s feeding struggle and evolved into a science-informed comfort tool helping families across the country and recently won The Spark Bowl, a pitch competition. 

Many families experience challenges during the transition from breast to bottle. Bottimals® was created to help ease that stress by offering babies something familiar during feeds: the soothing scent of their mother.

This approach aligns with research showing that scent is one of the earliest and strongest ways infants connect with the world. (For parents interested in the science behind scent and bonding, resources like the American Academy of Pediatrics provide helpful background information.)

Why This Feature Matters for Parents

The feature validates the mission behind Bottimals®: to bring more calm, connection, and confidence to feeding time—especially during challenging transitions.
