At Cup of Jo, we wholeheartedly imagine that, relating to infants, “fed is finest.” If breastfeeding, system, or a mixture works finest for you and your child, then go for it! (Personally, I did a combination.) So, we had been all ears when our Seattle-based partnerships director, Maureen, advised us about Bobbiean natural child system, and why it’s the precise alternative for her household…
Joanna: How did you determine that system was the precise name for your loved ones?
Maureen: “Our daughter, Willa, was two years outdated when our son, Conrad, was born. When he was a few weeks outdated, I used to be pumping on the couch, and Willa was working round, begging me to play along with her. I advised her, ‘I can’t, honey, I’ve to pump.’ I hated having to continuously say no to spending time along with her, particularly when she was already adjusting to the large change of getting a brand new brother. What I wanted was two free palms for each my youngsters; as a substitute, I used to be caught to the breast pump. All of the sudden, the pliability that system would give again to my household turned so clear.”
How did you select a system?
“I requested mates for suggestions, and so they talked about Bobbie’s Unique System. My good friend cherished how light it was for her child to digest, and their subscription service lower out last-minute journeys to the grocery retailer. What additionally made me be ok with selecting Bobbie was their comparability chart. It reveals what substances are included and excluded from all of their formulation — Natural Unique, Natural Light, Complete Milkand the brand new Natural Complete Milk — in addition to how they stack as much as different manufacturers. I selected their Natural Unique Systemand Conrad took to it instantly.”
What did you want about their particular formulation?
“To start with, I really like Bobbie’s story of two mothers eager to create an natural system that’s modeled after breastmilk, in addition to an organization that helps dad and mom’ feeding journeys with out judgement. What they ended up making is a variety of formulation stuffed with vitamins — they’re 100% lactose and don’t have any hormones, corn syrup, soy, palm oil, or different substances which are widespread allergens. Their system additionally consists of iron and vitamin D, so I don’t want to present separate dietary supplements to my sonc.”
I really like an organization run by mothers!
“It’s wonderful how so dedicated they’re to their clients. My mates had been utilizing Bobbie system in the course of the 2022 system scarcity, and seeing empty cabinets on the shops felt so scary. However the staff at Bobbies reached out to all their subscription clients and mentioned, ‘We are going to handle you. You’ll not run out of system.’ My mates by no means did.”
Parenting might be so emotional. How did you’re feeling about switching from breastfeeding to system feeding?
“Some mothers really feel linked to their infants by means of breastfeeding, however that wasn’t the case for me. Having the ability to STOP spending time pumping, washing pump elements, and scheduling my day round feeding occasions was so releasing and good for my psychological well being. I instantly felt extra like myself, which helped me be extra current with my household.”
Would you advocate Bobbie to your mates?
“I have already got! I swear by their Natural Unique Systemhowever I’ve additionally heard nice issues about their new Natural Complete Milk System. It’s their closest to breastmilk recipe and the one USDA Natural entire milk toddler system manufactured within the U.S. My good friend simply had a C-section at 35 weeks.
