I'm deeply uncomfortable with this product. It's promoting formula milk to the detriment of breastfeeding. The benefits of breastfeeding are significant and well documented: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pr... (And it's disappointing to see it being promoted on PH. In the UK it is illegal to advertise formula milk for infants under 36mths)

@edwardkay As a mother who breastfed, I'm deeply relieved this product exists. Bobbie does not claim that their product is better than breast milk. Their reason for being to offer parents a high-quality feeding option (emphasis on "option"). From their website: "We exist to bring peace of mind to parenting by shifting the scrutiny of how we feed to what we feed." It is important to remember that unlike the majority of developed countries, the United States does not require paid maternity leave. It is challenging and stressful for working mothers who breastfeed to maintain a supply of breastmilk for their babies. Furthermore, some women, whether they work outside the home or not, have medical or biological reasons for not breastfeeding. If you are curious about the subject, I recommend you read the book "Lactivism" by Dr. Courtney Jung or engage new mothers in a conversation about this topic.

@edwardkay As the husband of an amazing mother who could not produce adequate supply of breastmilk, formula with world class ingredients is the only answer. Either way, it’s a woman's choice.

Really like this idea and would love to see it expand outside of the bay area. We see . tons of delivery services launched every year tbh but this is one I can truly get behind the idea of

@dianawh33 Very helpful service and product itself. I am very glad that such products exist because they help mothers a lot. True, it will no longer be useful to me. My children have already grown up from the age when they needed to be fed with milk. Now my daughter is 19 and my son is 12 and he is very healthy, strong and very energetic. I remember that I was looking for a long time for a baby organic formula for my son, I was pretty afraid that he would have same problems that my daughter had because of a bad formula. As a result, I chose Hipp because in my opinion it is of the highest quality and in the end my child had no problems with it. I ordered it from the service https://onlyformula.com because delivery is very convenient, they bring you a children's organic formula right home.
