Many babies struggle with bottle feeding ... especially breastfed babies who are used to the comfort and scent of their mother. In this episode, Dr. Brandie talks with entrepreneur and mom Julianne Gardner about how frustration with her own baby’s bottle refusal led her to invent the first bottle lovey designed to help babies transition from breast to bottle using mom’s scent.

They discuss the emotional toll bottle struggles can have on parents, the science behind maternal scent, and how one mom turned a personal challenge into a solution that’s now helping families everywhere.

Dr. Brandie Keates is a prenatal chiropractor and sports medicine specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience. She runs Bloom Sanctuary on the Main Line in PA, where she treats pregnancy pain the way sports medicine treats athletes ... with precision, respect, and evidence-based care.
