About Nessa Bottles™
The only dumbbell-shaped baby bottle that opens from the bottom. A patented 8 oz PPSU bottle designed for babies who are beginning to hold their own bottle.
The Origin Story
I'm Jon Shilalis, a dad originally from Massachusetts, now based in Boca Raton, FL. I invented Nessa Bottles out of pure frustration. I was feeding my baby 8+ times a day and couldn't understand why no bottle existed that a baby could actually hold on their own.
Every bottle on the shelf is a straight cylinder — designed for adult hands, not baby hands. So I designed one that works like a dumbbell. The narrow center gives small hands a place to hold.
I filed a patent, built a website, and now I'm bringing it to market. The name “Nessa” is a personal family name.
What Problem Does It Solve?
Every parent knows the drill — you're holding a bottle for your baby 6 to 10 times a day, 15–20 minutes each session. Small hands have a hard time holding a straight, wide bottle.
Traditional straight-cylinder bottles are too wide for infant hands to grip. Parents are stuck.
Our patented dumbbell shape gives tiny hands natural hold points. Always supervise your baby during feeding.
What Makes It Different?
Every detail is intentional. Every feature solves a real problem.
