About Us
Our Story
Bottimals™ was born out of one mother’s search for a gentle, science-backed way to help her baby take a bottle. When founder Julianne Gardner faced bottle refusal with her own little one, she turned to nature’s most powerful cue—a mother’s scent. What began as a heartfelt solution at home became a mission to help families everywhere find peace during feeding transitions.
Our Mission
At Bottimals™, we believe that every baby deserves a soothing and secure feeding experience—and every parent deserves less stress along the way. Our mission is to bridge the emotional and biological connection between parent and child through scent, touch, and comfort.
The Science Behind Bottimals™
Research shows that a mother’s scent stimulates feeding reflexes, reduces stress, and promotes attachment. Bottimals™ are designed with a soft, washable plush lovey that holds mom’s scent—transforming any bottle into something familiar and comforting. This unique combination of scent and softness helps ease babies through bottle refusal, transitions back to work, or feeding by another caregiver.
