Have you heard of Mamascent? If you are expecting a baby, or you are a breastfeeding mummy looking for a way to help your baby accept a bottle, then it is certainly something that is worth looking into.
In short, it is a one-of-a-kind bottle attachment designed to bring a mother’s unique scent to her infant’s milk bottle. Recently launched in the UK, Mamascent is ideal for parents who mix breast and bottle-feeding, to maintain the olfactory bond between mother and child. Released in 2013, the UK-designed and made product is already winning rave reviews by mothers and caregivers across England.
Mothers simply place a comfortable Mamascent pad inside their bra and wear it for approximately three hours. When the baby is ready to feed, the mother or caregiver can attach one of the pad’s five petals to an easy-to-use fastening clip that fits most standard-sized baby bottles. Whether being fed by mother, father, grandparent, nanny or babysitter, the baby smells the scented petal, thus replicating the sensory experience of breastfeeding. The baby is naturally soothed and calmed as this creates the closest sensation to feeding on the breast.
