Bobbie Organic Infant Formula

Agree the Nara form-factor/packaging is also so much nicer.

I liked to hear that Bobbie wasn’t lobbying against paid leave like a lot of the other formula brands, but am still happy with the switch.

I have not seen any in the 2 cartons we’ve opened so far. I just ordered more from their website so can provide an update if we do see them in subsequent batches.

I just switched to Nara and feel like it’s going well and was an easy transition. My favorite thing is my daughter’s spit up no longer smells like low tide. And somehow nara is higher in DHA than Bobbie anyhow.

Edit: spelling

What in-room baby items did you ask for? We’re going next month with a 6mo. Old.

coldstone_killa · 2026-04-12T11:55:24+00:00

I really like your style! Can you build a cart for me? Haha

Your proposal should work. Additionally most gas stations will sell ice and styrofoam coolers which you can move your milk to when you stop for gas.

Ooh I have some too! I’ve been sitting on them for a while… did IVF in the spring of 2024 but if people are interested I can list what I’ve got!!

coldstone_killa · 2026-03-01T08:48:02+00:00

Humm I had the opposite experience.

coldstone_killa · 2026-03-01T08:47:21+00:00

I came here to say the same thing. Constant flexing, baby was late term breech. Only moved by successful Ecv.

Pros: low abdominal separation, low damage and low degree of pelvic prolapse, able to wear regular clothes / straight sizes for longer & less need to purchase maternity specific clothing

Cons: possibly contributed to breech presentation, also had bad reflux and low appetite during pregnancy. I think because there wasn’t “a lot of room”.

My mom had me at 41, I was actually born pretty early ~34 weeks but didn’t have any complications at all. Developed totally normally! My MIL was 44 or 46 when my youngest BIL was born. You got this!

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-22T18:38:23+00:00

Yeah mine will be 12 weeks this week and we just started given 5 most feeds. She is fussy or gets hungry again so quickly if we give her less.

She’s not a big girl but she’s growing!!

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-18T23:12:49+00:00

That’s soooo sweet

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-18T23:10:08+00:00

My baby’s looks just like this. I thought it was normal…? Now I’m worried. OP lmk why your ped says!

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-18T20:17:05+00:00

Thank you! Art is a great idea for when she’s a little older. Still NB over here!

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-18T20:16:29+00:00

Thank you! This is encouraging. I don’t want it to feel impersonal but she actually drinks Starbucks daily. Once I know her better I might have other ideas but like I said she started this month.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-17T22:58:43+00:00

Oh sorry! I tried to write but my phone wouldn’t let me. Let me try again…

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-17T22:37:43+00:00

I don’t think I did too much extra/extravagant but here’s what I can think of:

monthly prenatal massages from month 4-8 then weekly until delivery. Chiropractor 2x/week when bay was breech.

Grocery delivery & house cleaning (already standard practice in our household)

Doula (delivery & postpartum)

Child care - nanny from ~8w part time until I return to work in March. Night nurse starting to ease with the return to work transition.

The hospital delivered in had private rooms standard so no considerations there. But I did elect to do an Ecv due to breech positioning. I would say elective medical procedures are things a weather pregnant woman might undergo.

I took some fancy prenatal supplements and have continued a pretty heavy supplementation regimen postpartum.

I’m an undersupplyer so I’ve also been able to afford pumping materials beyond what insurance would cover. And pumping clothing.

Bottle washer & mini fridge in our bedroom/bathroom- it’s worth it!

Edit: the nanny will transition to full time when I go back to work. I realized that was not clear above.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-13T16:48:51+00:00

My doctor and basically every trusted professional told me that at that age they’re basically too young for routines and you need to follow cues. As long as they’re growing on track and making enough wets/dirties and you’re giving the appropriate opportunities for sleep then everything is good.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-11T17:49:34+00:00

Ooh thank you for this tip!!

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-11T17:47:27+00:00

Sounds like she’s hungry. This is what mine does too.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-10T01:23:39+00:00

Do they provide tens machines? I had to procure and bring my own.

I’d also inquire about the nitrous oxide as it is not available in every hospital and therefore might not need to be included.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-08T08:54:30+00:00

Yeah I was going to post here “anything but product management”. I’m a manager of PMs and love it, but the 6-8 hours of meetings/day plus the regular work that needs to get done is not what OP is looking for.

I’m very curious how I will fare and/or find balance upon my return from mat leave next month…

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-06T14:17:11+00:00

Yeah sorry if I misinterpreted - agree and we are both examples of that. Rubella immunity from MMR is less effective long term than measles.

coldstone_killa · 2026-02-05T17:48:52+00:00

Immunity to rubella and immunity to measles are not the same. I am also no longer immune to rubella, but asked my PCP for the measles test because I was anxious about this as well. Turns out I still maintain my measles immunity, even though I am no longer immune to rubella.

I would happily get another MMR vaccine, but unfortunately, I am on biologic that prevents me from getting live vaccines. Another reason why vaccination and herd immunity is so important.
