How it all began...
Founders' story
The ‘godfather’ of our co-founder’s baby took over the night shifts – and soon found himself caught in an endless cycle of fetching bottles, feeding, burping, and putting the baby back to bed, night after night without sleep.
From this mixture of fatigue, creativity, and a dash of humor, the idea was born: what's needed is a buddy for bottle-feeding!
And who could be a better namesake than the baby himself – Boropoat, or BO for short.
And so the BO Buddy was born: a little helper for those long, tough nights – and a piece of freedom for parents, godparents, and anyone who gives a bottle.
The Legend of the BO Buddy
It is said that the shape of the BO Buddy is no coincidence. It follows the perfect ellipse of a dragon's egg, that symbol of primordial power and protection. Its creator, Boropoat, was born under the sign of the dragon and placed this protective essence into his work. Therefore, the BO Buddy is more than just a holder – it is a silent guardian, a companion who watches over the child and, according to legend, even blesses the nourishment inside the bottle with the dragon's blessing.
