Goat Milk Formula

Goat milk formula is a gentle alternative for babies with sensitive tummies. Goat milk naturally contains A2 beta-casein protein, and its protein profile is closer to breast milk than standard cow's milk, so many parents find it easier to digest. It may help ease gas, fussiness, and colic while giving babies complete nutrition for healthy growth.

Why does HiPP Goat Milk have a PRE stage but no Stage 1?

In Germany, many Stage 1 formulas contain added starch to make the milk thicker and more filling. HiPP Goat Milk follows a different approach and does not contain added starch, making it naturally gentle and easy to digest. Because of this, there's no need for a separate Stage 1 formula.

Can HiPP Goat Milk Stage 2 be used as toddler milk?

Yes! HiPP Goat Milk Stage 2 can absolutely be used as toddler milk. Many parents continue using it as part of their toddler's daily diet, especially if their little one enjoys it and is doing well on it.

For a balanced breakfast, try serving it with muesli or cereal and add some chopped fruit or veggies for extra variety and nutrition. As your toddler grows, remember to offer a wide range of foods alongside milk to support a healthy, balanced diet.

Which version of HiPP formula do you sell?

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.

How do I prepare a bottle of HiPP formula?

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.

Why should the water for HiPP formula cool to 40–50 °C first?

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.

What do PRE, Stage 1, 2 and 3 mean on German formula?

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.

Why is it important to measure HiPP formula exactly?

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.

When should I switch from HiPP Goat PRE to HiPP Goat Stage 2?

HiPP Goat Stage 2 is the next step after HiPP Goat PRE and keeps the same gentle goat milk formula your baby knows. The switch doesn't need to happen exactly when your baby turns 6 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.

Can I combine HiPP or Holle formula with breastfeeding?

Yes. These formulas can be used from birth as your baby's only source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding.

Can heat during delivery or travel damage HiPP formula or porridge?

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.

Do HiPP formulas contain corn syrup?

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.

Why is DHA important for babies?

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.

Which HiPP and Holle formulas are made without palm oil?

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.

How does HiPP check the quality and safety of its formula?

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.

What are GOS in HiPP formula?

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.

Why is HiPP Goat Milk Formula ideal for sensitive tummies?

HiPP Goat Milk Formula contains A2 proteins, the same type found in breast milk. These proteins are easy to digest, making the formula naturally closer to breast milk. As a result, goat milk formula is gentle on sensitive tummies and closely resembles breast milk in taste, texture and digestibility.

Why is goat milk so easy to digest for babies?

Cow milk usually contains a mixture of A1 and A2 beta-casein, while breast milk contains only A2. HiPP Goat Milk naturally contains more A2 beta-casein than regular cow milk, making it closer to breast milk. A2 milk is scientifically associated with good tolerance and is often considered especially gentle on sensitive tummies. That's why many parents find goat milk to be similar to breast milk in terms of consistency, taste and tolerance.

Do the HiPP Goat Milk formulas contain starch?

All HiPP Goat Milk formulas are starch-free, making them extra gentle on your baby's tummy.

My baby has a confirmed cow's milk allergy (CMPA). Can I feed goat formula instead?

When your baby has a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), goat milk formulas will most likely be no alternative. The structure of goat milk proteins is similar to cow milk proteins. Thus, goat milk can lead to the same allergic reactions. Most people with a cow's milk allergy also react to goat milk. However, goat milk formulas can be a good alternative when your baby has a mild cow's milk sensitivity or needs a gentler milk formula due to tummy troubles or colic issues.

If your baby has a confirmed or suspected cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), always consult your pediatrician before switching formulas.

Can goat milk formula help reduce digestive issues and colic?

HiPP Goat formulas can be a gentle alternative for babies who struggle with colic, gas, or other digestive discomfort. Made with easy-to-digest goat milk proteins, these formulas are naturally softer on tiny tummies than traditional cow’s milk-based formulas. Goat milk has a naturally softer protein structure that is easier to digest, which may also help reduce fussiness and bloating in some babies.

Which HiPP and Holle formulas are soy-free?

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.

Do HiPP formulas contain fish oil?

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.
