The Campaign FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
“If only I had my wife’s breast in the middle of the night when he won’t take the bottle, we would both get some sleep- your product gives me the closest thing to that!”- Father, Rise of the Rest
"I have feed envy because my baby won't take the bottle, and I just want to be apart of the bonding experience. "- Dad at Apsen Health
“I was always very passionate about the biological aspect of breastmilk and how it’s the most preventative immune cocktail that we can give...but then the emotional component that comes into the breastfeeding journey. It was those conversations with almost 300 women that [I realize] this is so primitive...it touches you to your core, it’s necessary for us to exist and when you’re starting to experience any trouble with it, it hits you hard. And it’s such a sensitive thing for [moms] to talk about…” - Lauren, Founder +CEO
“Every mom wants to do what’s best for their child, and the introduction of another product or anything that disrupts that product can be something that [moms] hold in and maybe don’t want to share because of stigma. Because they understand how important [breastfeeding] is.” - Lauren, Founder + CEO
Reasons mother’s need bottle support are varied and often very personal, and mothers never deserved to be shamed for needing to use one. We believe that families need support now more than ever, and a mother and every mother is trying to do the best she can for her child. If giving you peace of mind to get rest, then come back to breast is something you need- we want to have your back.
Our goal is not to replace breastfeeding, but rather to help prolong it by allowing moms an option that doesn’t cause confusion for the baby. Our bottle nipples are only intended as a supplement when moms have to be away from baby or when dads want to help out mom and be a part of the breastfeeding journey as well. Let's create confidence for the moms re-entering their profession, pump all day, and want to bond with their little one when they come home!
