Elaine R. Bellamy-Noseworthy is a wife, the mother of two young children — and an inventor.
While growing up in Annadale, she could not have possibly considered the creation of her now patent-pending baby-bottle holder because she simply had no need for it. The plastic Bottle Buggy is like an extra set of hands for busy moms.
It clips onto the carry handle of an infant car-seat, so a baby can continue feeding while the bottle remains safe and secure.
Mrs. Bellamy-Noseworthy spent her early years attending Our Lady Star of the Sea, Huguenot, and Notre Dame Academy, Grymes Hill, where she was honored as an Advance All Star for her swimming accomplishments during her freshman year.
After graduating from Notre Dame in 1986, she continued on to Katharine Gibbs School, where she earned an associate degree in business administration.
She worked in Manhattan for 13 years as an administrative assistant, then as an office manager for Federal Express for seven years, until leaving to give birth to her first child. Up to that time, there was no indication that the Staten Islander would one day become an inventor. But motherhood, and necessity, would change that.
Today, Mrs. Bellamy-Noseworthy and her husband, Eltingville native Michael Noseworthy, have been married for nearly 10 years. They live in New Dorp with their sons, Michael, 7, and Nicholas, 5. Bottle Buggy Inc., Mrs. Bellamy-Noseworthy’s home-based business promoting her invention, is nearly a year old.
She invented the Bottle Buggy soon after her second child was born 2003.
“My son Michael had just turned 2 the month after Nicholas was born,” she said. “. . . I became an inventor since having two children so close in age, and needing the help of a product — a bottle holder — that just wasn’t out there.”
