Bobbie Launches the Feeding Concierge: a Three-Pronged Support System Unifying AI and Clinical Expertise for All Parents

HEATH, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 15, 2026--

Bobbie, the first mom-founded, mission-driven infant formula brand in the U.S., today announced a massive evolution in feeding education with the launch of its Feeding Concierge. This first-of-its-kind platform unifies three distinct layers of support—advanced AI, expert-led community groups, and clinical 1:1 care—into one seamless ecosystem designed to become the definitive feeding resource for every American family, no matter how you feed, be it breast, bottle, or both. Ask Bobbie can answer your 3 a.m. feeding questions, but it can't replace the personalized guidance and support that comes from real experts. That's why we're also offering group sessions and 1:1 consultations as part of the comprehensive feeding support experience.

Anchoring the launch is Ask Bobbie, a revolutionary, 24/7 AI-powered feeding assistant. Backed by an industry-leading suite of experts, including The Formula Mom, board-certified lactation and feeding specialists, and years of feeding research and expertise, Ask Bobbie delivers immediate, evidence-based answers across formula feeding, combination feeding, and breastfeeding for parents navigating year one. The tool expands on Bobbie’s mission to empower parents with trusted information, reduce stigma, and ensure no caregiver has to navigate feeding decisions alone.

Crucially, Ask Bobbie is engineered with strict guardrails to eliminate the AI hallucinations common in general-purpose models. When a query falls outside its parameters, the tool never fabricates an answer; instead, it seamlessly routes the parent to Bobbie’s dedicated Care Team for real-time live chat during business hours or rapid email follow-up after hours. As a team of majority parents ourselves, this refusal to compromise on parental trust is just as important as the information we used to train the model.

A recent Pew Research study found that approximately 71% of parents have tried ChatGPT, with over half turning to it specifically for parenting questions. As modern families increasingly rely on AI chatbots for immediate answers, Bobbie is meeting them directly in their reality. For Bobbie, this is much more than a tech upgrade, it’s a natural evolution of its founding mission to support parents to feed with confidence, rooted in education. In a culture that often leaves parents behind, authentically unbiased feeding resources are hard to come by.

The Feeding Concierge brings together three layers of comprehensive support:

"We’ve all been there: it’s 3AM, you’re exhausted, and you’re panic-googling 'how to start combo-feeding?' into a void of conflicting information," said Mallory Whitmore, Bobbie’s Education Lead, Author ofBottle Service, and mom of two. "Ask Bobbie is the tool we wish we had as new moms. We’ve hand-crafted this experience to feel like a trusted parent friend: empathetic, unbiased, and immediately useful. By unifying our expert-backed library with real-time AI and on-demand clinical professionals, we are ensuring that radical transparency isn't just about what’s in the can, but how parents access care."

By combining the speed and accessibility of modern tech with board-certified lactation and feeding specialists, The Feeding Concierge by Bobbie brings a complete, unbiased picture of infant nutrition in year one, spanning formula feeding, combo feeding, breastfeeding, returning to work, introducing solids, and weaning. While traditional feeding resources often bucket parents in a “this or that” approach of breast versus formula, Bobbie’s approach is comprehensive, inclusive, and supportive – no matter your feeding journey.

"From day one, Bobbie’s mission has always been to change parenting culture and give parents the permission to feed with confidence," said Laura Modi, CEO and Co-Founder of Bobbie and mom of four. "The launch of AskBobbie is the natural evolution of that promise. We know that technology will never replace the deep, essential care of a 1:1, in-person feeding consultants—and it shouldn't. Instead, we are leveraging AI to democratize evidence-based feeding education, meeting parents exactly where they are in their most overwhelming moments. By pairing the speed of modern technology with the clinical depth of our parenting experts, we are creating a 24/7 first line of defense for families. As a mom who has been through the thick of the infant feeding journey four times over, this is the accessible, judgment-free support system I wish I’d had in year one."

Parents can experience The Feeding Concierge today.

'Ask Bobbie' is the first AI-powered feeding assistant that will encourage 1:1 engagement, doubling down on feeding education and support

President Donald Trump says Immigration and Customs Enforcementshould continue traffic stops after two deadly shootings within a week, seeming to contradict a new policy to halt them. To remove criminals from the country, “we CANNOT give up one of ICE’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!” the president wrote on social media.

In Florida on Tuesday, a third man in roughly a week died during an encounter with immigration officers. The 28-year-old was killed after he was hit by a tractor-trailer while running from immigration and other federal officers, authorities said.

Here's the latest:

As the committee convened Wednesday for a confirmation hearing, the late South Carolina Republican’s seat at the rostrum was also marked with a vase of white roses.

Graham had been set to chair the panel in the next Congress. He died over the weekend of a tear in his aorta.

On Tuesday, Graham’s sister, Darline Graham, was sworn in to serve out the remaining months of his term, which expires in January. South Carolina Republicans are standing up a special primary election to pick a new nominee for this fall’s midterms.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is expected to face bipartisan scrutiny as he seeks the chance to serve out the duration of Trump’s term.

Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney, has run the department on an interim basis since April, when Pam Bondi was fired after struggling to bring successful cases against Trump’s political foes.

Since taking the reins at the Justice Department, Blanche has accelerated investigations into Trump foes, functioned as the public face of a maligned fund meant to compensate the president’s allies and alarmed press freedom advocates with an aggressive pursuit of news media leaks.

Jay Clayton, President Trump’s pick to head the nation’s intelligence agencies, will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, weeks after Trump abruptly delayed his nomination.

Republicans and even some Democrats have been eager to quickly confirm Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and a former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman, as they’ve expressed concerns about Trump’s interim appointee for the intelligence post, Bill Pulte. Pulte, who has been in the job since June 19, is a former housing official with no known intelligence experience and who used his previous administration perch to target perceived adversaries of the president.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, a Republican, expressed frustration when Trump delayed Clayton’s nomination in a social media post last month, allowing Pulte to take office. Cotton said then that Clayton had been instructed not to appear at a scheduled confirmation hearing, but he rescheduled the hearing three weeks later, with apparent approval from the White House.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will confront questions Wednesday about his brief but turbulent tenure atop the Justice Department during a Senate confirmation hearing that will test President Donald Trump’s grip on Republican lawmakers whose support the nominee will need for the job.

Blanche, Trump’s former personal attorney, has run the department on an interim basis since April, during which time he’s accelerated investigations into Trump foes, functioned as the public face of a maligned fund meant to compensate the Republican president’s allies and alarmed press freedom advocates with an aggressive pursuit of news media leaks.

Those actions will receive fresh scrutiny at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing as Blanche testifies for the opportunity to serve out the duration of Trump’s term.
