The Feeding Confessionals was a year-long project for Bobbie Baby that followed several parents through their feeding journeys with their newborn babies. This docuseries captures their personal and raw moments via video diaries – from expectations pre-delivery to returning to work to introducing the first bottle of formula, showing us what it’s REALLY like to feed your baby.
