Bobbie is an organic milk-based infant formula that uses intact milk proteins in ratios similar to mature breast milk, lactose as the only source of carbohydrate, and a fat-blend that does not contain palm oil. It’s made in the U.S., meets all FDA requirements, and satisfies many EU standards such as DHA & iron.

•
Bobbie’s whey to casein ratio is 60:40, similar to mature breast milk
•
Whey is easier to digest than casein
•
This ratio supports easy digestion

Carbohydrate & protein, important source of essential minerals & amino acids
Non-fat milk is a source of protein and carbohydrate, and provides minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, which are important for bone health. Additional fat sources are added to produce a fat balance similar to human breast milk.
Fat, source of Vitamins E & K
Fat is a macronutrient that serves as a source of energy, helps deliver fat soluble vitamins, and is critical for neurological development and brain function.
Carbohydrate
Lactose is the most common carbohydrate found in breast milk and provides energy to fuel growth. It also helps with mineral absorption and plays a role in positively shaping the composition of the gut microbiota by supporting the beneficial bacteria.
Fat
Coconut oil provides Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), a triglyceride (that’s the chemical name for fat!) that is more easily absorbed and metabolized for energy, and it may positively shape the gut microbiota.
Fat
Fat is an important nutrient that your baby needs for growth and development. Soybean oil is a source of the essential fat, linoleic acid.
Protein and minerals
Protein is essential for growth and development, tissue repair, and many metabolic functions throughout the body. Adding whey protein helps to make the whey:casein ratio more in line with what is found in mature breast milk.
