The journey to the birth of the Doctor Bétta Baby Bottle

The journey to the birth of the Doctor Bétta Baby Bottle

Conception (of an idea)
nvented by Dr. Alexander Theodore, an American medical doctor, the "Dr. Bétta baby bottle" was developed focusing on the low incidence of illness in breastfed babies and based on a lot of clinical data. Among the pediatricians who developed it, it is said that "70% of the diseases that occur in infancy are caused by breastfeeding while the head is lying down.

Encounter
In 1995, hoping to help all babies who use the bottle to grow up healthy from the idea of preventive medicine, we reached a license agreement for the manufacture and sale of plastic "Dr. Bétta bottles" in Japan.

Realizing the ideal
At the time, Dr. Bétta baby bottles were only made of plastic, but we began to feel the need for a heat-resistant glass bottle that provided many advantages, such as being scratch-resistant, hygienic, and long-lasting. President OKUYA of OKUYA Glass Manufacturing, which has a factory in Edogawa-ku, Tokyo, spent a lot of time with many engineers to realize this special shape made of heat-resistant glass. President Okutani's skill and enthusiasm have enabled us to take an American-made "Dr. Bétta baby bottle" and turn it into a high-quality Japanese bottle.
