Bobbie Gentle Formula: An Organic Solution for Babies With Sensitive Stomachs

If your baby has a sensitive stomach, feeding can feel confusing when nothing seems to settle well. Is it the bottle? Is it the formula? Is it just one of those days? (And honestly, haven’t we all had one of those?)

With so many infant formula options on the market, figuring out which one is right for your baby can feel like a full-time research project. And when your little one is dealing with fussiness, gas, or crying after meals, the stakes feel even higher. You’re not just shopping for nutrition — you’re looking for comfort, relief and maybe even a little peace of mind.

That’s where Bobbie Organic Gentle® Infant Formula comes in.

In this article, we’ll walk you through why a gentle formula may help if your baby seems extra sensitive, what sets Bobbie’s Organic Gentle apart and how to know if it might be the right fit for your feeding journey. Spoiler: it’s Clean Label Project certified, it’s an organic formula, and it’s been thoughtfully crafted by parents, doctors and dietitians who wanted something better for babies — and their baby’s bellies.

How Bobbie Organic Gentle Formula eases digestive discomfort

Let’s start with the signs. You’ve probably noticed them: your baby cries shortly after feeding, looks uncomfortable when lying down, or is particularly gassy — the kind that turns a snuggly moment into a loud one. While all babies experience digestive growing pains, some seem to have a harder time than others.

That’s where partially hydrolyzed formula options can make a big difference. These formulas use partially hydrolyzed proteins — in Bobbie’s case, 100% whey proteins— which are broken down into smaller pieces that may be easier for tiny tummies to digest. For babies who don’t need a hypoallergenic or extensively hydrolyzed formula but still seem uncomfortable after eating, gentle formulas are often a helpful middle ground.

Bobbie Organic Gentle was designed specifically for babies who fall into this “sensitive and not quite settled” category. It features:

100% partially hydrolyzed whey protein for easier digestion
100% organic lactose as the sole carbohydrate source — just like breast milk

This combo is incredibly rare, especially in the U.S. Most gentle, or tolerance, infant formula options on the market swap lactose for corn syrup solids, maltodextrin or other alternative sugar carbohydrates. But here’s the thing: Lactose is the primary carbohydrate source in breast milk. It’s what nature intended, and unless your baby has a diagnosed issue digesting it (which is uncommon in full-term infants), there’s no real reason to avoid it.

Key features of Bobbie Organic Gentle Formula

Let’s talk ingredients — because they matter. A lot.

Bobbie Organic Gentle Infant Formula is created to provide your baby with complete nutrition throughout their first year, without cutting corners. Every component is there for a reason, and every exclusion is just as intentional.

Organic ingredients, backed by certifications

Bobbie Organic Gentle is USDA and EU Organic certified, which means no synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, or antibiotics. Every batch goes through 2,000+ quality checks, plus third-party independent testing. It’s Clean Label Project certified. It’s safety-tested. It’s obsessively scrutinized — just the way you’d want something going into your baby’s little body.

Free from the usual suspects

You won’t find palm oil, corn syrup, maltodextrin, soy-based fats, or synthetic additives in Bobbie Organic Gentle. The fat blend is made from expeller-pressed plant-based oils, including safflower/sunflower oil, coconut oil and low erucic acid rapeseed oil — all organic and all carefully selected to support healthy growth. No GMOs or hexane-extracted oils here!

Nutrients that matter

DHA (20mg/100kcal) – For brain development. Bobbie goes above and beyond typical gentle formulas here. If you want the full story, check out What is DHA (and Why is it Important for Babies)?
Iron (1.2mg/100kcal) – Aligned to meet both FDA and European formula nutritional standards
Vitamin D – 75 IU per serving, supporting strong bones and teeth

And remember — these nutrients are delivered in a milk formula with 100% lactose, which supports calcium absorption and is modeled after the composition of breast milk.

What sets Bobbie Organic Gentle Formula apart?

The baby formula aisle is crowded, but not all products are created equal. Many brands labeled as “gentle” or “sensitive” include ingredients like corn syrup solids, maltodextrin or sucrose — all used to replace lactose and make the product seemingly easier (and cheaper) to manufacture. Unfortunately, these substitutes may alter your baby’s gut microbiota and have been linked to excessive weight gain in toddlerhood.

Bobbie doesn’t play that game. Our organic gentle infant formula is:

The only U.S. gentle formula with 100% lactose + 100% partially hydrolyzed whey
Free from alternative sugars
Backed by certifications and rigorous testing
Designed with feeding ease, safety, and baby’s comfort in mind

Is Bobbie Organic Gentle Formula right for your baby?

Let’s be real — no one knows your baby like you do. But here are some signs that might indicate it’s time to try a gentle baby formula:

Frequent gassiness after meals
Arching of the back during or after feeding
Extra fussiness or difficulty settling after eating

If you’ve noticed any of these and you’re currently using a formula with intact proteins or alternative carbohydrates, it may be worth considering a switch. As always, check in with your pediatrician before making a change.

Tips for making the switch

A cold turkey switch may feel intimidating, but switching over entirely is the quickest and easiest way to assess whether a new formula is helpful for your baby. Keep in mind that it can take a week or more for a baby to adjust to a new formula. During this time, changes to stool color, texture and frequency, as well as increased digestive symptoms, can be common.
