?? Today begins the busiest travel day of the year and to all the LinkedIn parents with breastmilk, formula or milk in tow through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines--we are here to remind you of your rights as mom or dad feeding an infant on the go. 1. Formula, pumped breastmilk in liquid or frozen form, or pouches more than 3.4oz are considered medically necessary and allowed in carry-ons without a plastic bag. 2. TSA may test liquids but not place anything in them. If you prefer no x-rays than additional screenings may be done. 3. Inform TSA agents to remove items for separate screening. Use clear bottles when possible for easier screening. 4. Cooling accessories like icepacks are allowed with or without breastmilk. Getting all TSA agents trained and informed on how to properly handle an infant's food through screening is the key part of the BABES Enhancement Act proposed to Congress. We're teaming up with Willow Innovations, Inc. to advocate for this bill and encourage our community of parents to share their stories and write a letter in support of passing the BABES Act to their lawmakers. We've made it super simple for you to do... just go to this link below and we've auto-drafted a note with a section where you can fill in any of your personal experiences of traveling with milk. https://lnkd.in/gAUDxamE

?? ?? Bobbie x National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) ?? ?? We're proud to be the official infant feeding partner of the National Women's Soccer league, championing the moms on the field and the parents behind the scenes elevating women's sports here in the U.S. This past weekend we supported lactation and feeding rooms at the National Championship Game and look forward to bringing them across the League over the next two years. We know that babies are not a barrier to overcome but can lead to our highest accomplishments. Together with the NWSL, we're rewriting the playbook for what it means to be a soccer mom. ????

We are grateful to work with brands to build a better future together. When Cocoon, a leave management software, approached us about doubling down on their participation in our N.O. Support Grants Coalition and Parents Push Harder campaign in support of paid leave, we knew exactly how they could help. Earlier this month, Cocoon announced, that in partnership with Bobbie for Change, they have donated $1 for every leave managed in Cocoon since they launched in 2021. That means $10,000 is going to our three partner non-profits fighting for paid leave: Moms First, Chamber of Mothers, and Paid Leave for All. Let's continue to fight for change and uplift (and fund ??) these non-profits who are doing the on the ground work to get #paidleaveforall. Learn more and donate ?? Thank you, Cocoon ??

For our fifth year in a row, we are honored to support women impacted by breast and gynecologic cancer who cannot breastfeed with a free year of Bobbie as part of our Bobbie Breasties program with the incredible non-profit, The Breasties ?? Since we launched our company, we have now supported more than 300 babies from first sip to first birthday. And now we welcome another 122 mothers + 124 babies (two sets of twins!) to this incredibly inspiring community. And at Bobbie, we won’t just give on their behalf—we fight on their behalf. In the US, insurance offers free breast pumps but will not cover formula or donor milk for these survivors and previvors. We’re ready to change that and we’re hoping 2025 is our year (just watch to see what’s next)! This program is only possible because of YOU; our parents across the US who choose Bobbie to nourish their babies. On behalf of every Bobbie Breastie past and present, thank you for being a small part of how we can pay it forward to these moms. Please join us in welcoming our newest Bobbie Breasties to the Bobbie Fam ??

For so many companies this month is about #BFCM sales and promos. But what if we made it about giving back? Today, this Veterans Day, we're going to do just that. Today, we're announcing our new Community Caretakers program which will give 500 First Responders, Teachers, Medical Professionals, and Military Families a FREE full year of Bobbie Organic Flagship formula on us. And we're going to give another 2,000 families half-off a full year subscription. We know that inflation has hit so many families, including those giving back to our communities, so this is our small way to pay it forward and say thank you. These families care for our communities and today and now it's our turn to care for them. ?????? ** If you know anyone or an organization who could benefit from this program, please tag them in comments so we can help spread the word.** And to those who take care of kids, serve our country, and look after all of us, we see you and we appreciate all you do. Thank you from all of us here at Bobbie. ?? You can apply at bobbiecaretakers.com #nurses #teachers #military #firstresponders #giveback #veteransday

Election Day is less than a week away. All elections are important, but this one is especially critical. From childcare to paid family leave and reproductive rights, there’s a lot on the ballot this year that directly impacts parents and caregivers.

We'll say it until we are blue in the face: this was never JUST about powdered milk. We are here to completely shift narratives about how we feed our babies, and we aren't afraid to ruffle a few feathers to drive change. There is still work to do to help breastfeeding moms feel supported, especially when it comes to feeding in public. There is still work to do to help parents feel confident in their feeding choices—whatever that may be. There is still work to do to help formula feeding parents not feel second best. Natalie Kunstadter shared on ADWEEK how other brands can begin to tackle taboo topics. Here are some quick tips: ?? Do your research ?? Put your oxygen mask on first ?? Pick your battles wisely ?? Be ready for backlash—but don’t fear it Read more below and thanks Natalie and ADWEEK for pushing brands in the right direction to shift perceptions and drive cultural change ??
