Bobbie

Direct-to-consumer organic infant formula producer

Overview

Bobbie makes organic infant formula sold directly to consumers. The formula uses lactose to resemble breast milk and features a proprietary organic fat blend from expeller-pressed oils, aiming to be nutrient-dense and free of corn syrup, fillers, palm oil, maltodextrin, gluten, pesticides, antibiotics, and soy allergens. It differentiates itself with a clean-label approach, grass-fed dairy, and an emphasis on products that mimic breast milk, plus a commitment to supporting families when breastfeeding isn’t possible for a year. The goal is to provide high-quality organic infant nutrition while helping families facing breastfeeding challenges.
