We only sell the German HiPP version of HiPP formulas.
Good to know: HiPP products are available in different country versions (such as German, Dutch, or UK versions), mainly due to different local labeling and packaging requirements. However, all HiPP formulas are made under the same strict EU organic standards and regulatory controls, ensuring consistent safety, ingredient quality, and organic certification across all markets.
Important: All HiPP formulas are produced in the same manufacturing sites in Germany, and all production follows the same high-quality EU organic certification system and controls, regardless of whether the product is sold as the German, Dutch, or UK version.
The German and Dutch HiPP Combiotik formulas differ only in two ways: packaging and starch content.
Packaging: The Dutch formula comes in 800g metal cans, while the German formula is packaged in 600g sustainable cartons with a protective foil pouch to help keep the formula fresh.
Starch content: The Dutch version is always starch-free, while the German range includes both formulas with and without starch, depending on the stage.
If you are looking for a HiPP German Combiotik formula that is equivalent to the HiPP Dutch Combiotik range, the following German formulas are starch-free and therefore the same as their Dutch counterparts:
- HiPP German Combiotik PRE for 0-6 months is the same like HiPP Dutch Stage 1
- HiPP German No Starch Combiotik Stage 2 for 6+ months is the same like HiPP Dutch Stage 2
Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to about 40 to 50 °C (104 to 122 °F). Pour the amount of water given in the feeding table into a clean bottle, add the matching number of scoops — each filled loosely and leveled off — then close the bottle and shake it vigorously.
Let the bottle cool to drinking temperature, about 37 °C (98.6 °F), and check it on the inside of your wrist before feeding. Close the inner bag well after use, for example with a clip. The amounts are in the feeding table on the pack and in the English feeding guide that comes with every Little Formula order.
At about 40 to 50 °C (104 to 122 °F), the powder dissolves well while heat-sensitive vitamins stay protected — and so do the natural lactic acid cultures in HiPP formulas with probiotics (Combiotik, HA, Comfort and Anti-Reflux). Water that is too hot would damage them.
To cool boiled water faster, stand the bottle or a measuring jug in a cold water bath for a few minutes.
German formulas are named by stage. PRE and Stage 1 are made for babies from birth and can be their only source of nutrition. In Germany the difference between the two is usually starch: PRE contains none, while many Stage 1 formulas add some for a creamier, more filling feed.
Stage 2 (from 6 months) and Stage 3 (from 10 months) are made to go alongside solid foods, and toddler milks such as 1+ or Stage 4 follow from 12 months to complement a balanced diet.
The switch doesn't need to happen exactly at 6 or 10 months: if your baby's appetite is growing and the usual bottle no longer seems filling enough, it may be the right time. Switch slowly, replacing one bottle at a time.
After HiPP Combiotik PRE comes HiPP No Starch Combiotik Stage 2, which keeps the lighter, starch-free texture. After Combiotik Stage 1 comes Combiotik Stage 2 with the same creamy texture, then Stage 3 from 10 months. Stage 3 and No Starch Stage 2 also work as toddler milk; Combiotik 1+ and 2+ are made for toddlers from 1 and 2 years.
HiPP PUR is made with whole milk from grass-fed cows and keeps its natural milk fats. It contains no palm oil and no starch, and lactose is its only carbohydrate.
HiPP Combiotik is built around the Combiotik blend of prebiotics, probiotics and natural folate (Metafolin®), and its vegetable oil blend includes palm oil. Combiotik PRE and No Starch Stage 2 are starch-free, while Combiotik Stage 1, 2 and 3 contain mild starch for a creamier, more filling texture.
The right ratio of powder to water matters for both nutrition and digestion: too much or too little powder can make the formula harder to digest and may contribute to constipation. Always use the scoop from the pack, fill it loosely and level it off, for example with the back of a knife — don’t press the powder down.
Use exactly the amount of boiled water the feeding table gives for the number of scoops.
From the first birthday, milk is best offered in a cup. Little ones love drinking like the grown-ups, and it’s kinder to their teeth: sucking on a bottle for long stretches — as a comforter or to fall asleep — can cause tooth decay. You can start practicing with a cup from about 8 months.
If your toddler still needs milk at night during growth spurts, that’s fine; just try to cover most of their needs during the day and keep up with tooth brushing.
Holle Stage 2 is the next step after Holle PRE or Stage 1, and Holle Stage 3 follows Stage 2 from 10 months. The switch doesn't need to happen exactly at 6 or 10 months: if your baby's appetite is growing and the usual bottle no longer seems filling enough, it may be the right time. Switch slowly, replacing one bottle at a time.
Holle Stage 4 is the toddler milk from 12 months, with the familiar creamy taste of Stage 3.
Yes. These formulas can be used from birth as your baby's only source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding.
No. Formula powder and HiPP powdered porridges are not sensitive to heat in transit.
At home, store packs dry, out of the sun and below 25 °C (77 °F). In very hot weather you can keep unopened packs in the fridge — but never opened ones, as the powder can get damp there.
The term "Combiotik" refers to the beneficial combination of natural lactic acid cultures (probiotics), valuable fibers (prebiotics), and the natural folate called Metafolin. Metafolin is a patented ingredient that is more easily absorbed than the synthetic folic acid commonly found in US formulas. These nutrients work together to support a healthy gut flora and strengthen the immune system.
No, HiPP formulas do not contain corn syrup!
In fact, in the European Union, infant and toddler formulas are tightly regulated, and corn syrup (or corn syrup solids) is not permitted as a carbohydrate source in infant nutrition in the way it is commonly used in some US formulas.
Metafolin® is a natural form of folate and a patented ingredient in HiPP Combiotik formulas that is more easily absorbed than the synthetic folic acid commonly found in US formulas. Folate is vital for babies because it supports healthy cell growth and development, especially in the brain and nervous system, helping to ensure their strong start in life.
Look for "L-methylfolate" among the vitamins (on German HiPP packs: „L-Methylfolat“). That's Metafolin®, the active form of folate your baby's body can use right away. The brand name itself isn't used in ingredient lists.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that plays an important role in a baby’s early development.
During the first months and years of life, a baby’s brain, eyes, and nervous system develop very rapidly. DHA is a key building block of the brain and the retina (the part of the eye responsible for vision). Because of this, it is especially important for normal brain and visual development.
Babies naturally receive DHA through breast milk, depending on the mother’s diet, or through infant formula that is enriched with DHA. Since babies cannot produce enough DHA on their own, they rely on these external sources.
In short: DHA supports healthy brain development and vision in early life, which is why it is required by law in all infant formula in the EU.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid that helps support your toddler’s brain and eye development.
During the toddler years, your child’s brain is still growing quickly and learning new skills every day — like talking, moving, and problem-solving. DHA is an important building block for brain cells and also supports healthy vision.
Toddlers get DHA from foods like fish, eggs, or from DHA-enriched foods and formulas designed for young children. Since the body can only make very small amounts of DHA, regular intake through diet is important.
In short: DHA supports healthy brain development, learning, and vision during the toddler years.
Iron is an essential nutrient that supports healthy growth and development during the toddler years. It helps the body produce hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. Iron also plays an important role in brain development, learning, memory, and immune function. Because toddlers grow rapidly, they need enough iron in their diet to support their increasing nutritional needs.
By offering a toddler milk fortified with iron as part of a balanced diet, parents can help ensure their little one gets enough iron every day.
Demeter is one of the highest standards for organic farming, going beyond EU organic requirements in several areas. Holle’s Demeter cow milk comes from farms that follow strict biodynamic farming practices, with higher standards for animal welfare, soil health, and sustainable farming. For example, Demeter farms have stricter rules around how animals are raised and fed and place a strong focus on maintaining healthy, living soil.
Holle uses plant-based DHA from algae, a sustainable source of the essential omega-3 fatty acid DHA your baby needs for normal brain and eye development. Unlike fish-derived DHA, algae-based DHA comes directly from the original source of DHA in the marine food chain and does not require fish to be harvested. It’s a clean, vegetarian-friendly choice with a lower impact on marine ecosystems.
No, Holle cow milk formulas do not contain prebiotics or probiotics. Holle takes a simple, minimalist approach to baby formula, with a short ingredient list and only carefully selected ingredients. Instead of adding prebiotics and probiotics, Holle keeps the formula close to its essential ingredients.
No, Holle cow milk formulas do not contain corn syrup!
In fact, in the European Union, infant and toddler formulas are tightly regulated, and corn syrup (or corn syrup solids) is not permitted as a carbohydrate source in infant nutrition in the way it is commonly used in some US formulas.
Holle PRE and Holle Stage 1 contain neither starch nor maltodextrin — lactose is their only carbohydrate.
Holle Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4 add gentle organic starch and maltodextrin to the lactose. This gives them a creamier texture that keeps growing babies full for longer.
HiPP PUR — PRE, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 and Toddler Milk — is made without palm oil: it uses whole milk and keeps its natural milk fats instead.
HiPP Combiotik, HiPP HA, HiPP Goat, HiPP Comfort, HiPP Anti-Reflux and the Holle formulas contain palm oil as part of their vegetable oil blend. The ingredient list on each product page shows the exact oils.
Every raw material is strictly tested, and a new ingredient only goes into HiPP infant formula once its safety and benefit are scientifically proven, often in long-term clinical studies led by renowned pediatricians. For raw materials and finished formula alike, HiPP sets stricter limits than the law requires, and every pack is checked before it is sold.
GOS (galactooligosaccharides) are prebiotics made from lactose. They help support a healthy gut flora and comfortable digestion, and you will find them in the ingredient lists of HiPP Combiotik, HiPP HA, HiPP Goat and HiPP Comfort.
HiPP Combiotik, HiPP HA, HiPP Goat, HiPP Comfort and HiPP Anti-Reflux are made without soy, and the Holle formulas list no soy among their allergens. Only HiPP PUR contains soy, as soy lecithin.
Yes. All HiPP formulas contain fish oil: it is the source of their DHA, which EU law requires in infant formula, and it is listed among the allergens of every HiPP formula.
Holle formulas take their DHA from microalgae instead, if you are looking for a formula without fish oil.
