In this paper we search the minimal conditions for the creation of a Universe from a Tolman wormhole `bounce' from a previous collapse without passing by an initial singularity. Inspired from brane cosmology, the total density is taken to be the sum of the ordinary matter and time-decreasing exotic matter, as well as time-decreasing cosmological constant. We show that these later didn't affect the standard point-wise energy conditions and that there is always an open region surrounding the bounce over which the strong energy condition must be violated. Flat and hyperbolic spatial Universes are not permitted in our model
