About Bobbie: 

Bobbie is here to shake sh*t up in the legacy, duopoly controlled formula industry. As the only mom founded and led infant formula company in the US, Bobbie was founded in 2018 and launched in 2021 with Organic formulas and pediatric supplements. Bobbie is the fastest growing infant formula company since the 1980’s, feeding hundreds of thousands of babies across the US. Bobbie has been named a World’s Most Innovative Company, twice named as a Fast Company Brands that Matter, and a three time winner of Inc. Best Places to work. Their brand is rooted in activism and cultural change– with the launch of Bobbie for Change, the social good arm of the business, as well as the Bobbie MotherBoard, an annual group of celebrity activists and Bobbie parents, including Tan France, Ashley Graham, and Naomi Osaka. The company’s mission is to evolve the conversation on how we choose to feed our babies– making parenting culture one of confidence, not comparison.
