HiPP Formula Stages
HiPP stages are based on the baby's age. There are three stages for babies between 0-12+ months. This is done to reflect the nutritional complexity of breast milk as it dynamically changes to meet the babies' needs at different ages. Certain vitamins and minerals become more or less important during certain periods of a baby's development. The stages are formulated to mimic the changes in nutritional and energy needs of your baby.

Types of HiPP Formulas
HiPP produces a wide range of formulas for babies with a variety of dietary needs.
HiPP Combiotic Formula
HiPP Combiotic organic infant formula is one of the most popular on the market. It is lactose-based and contains probiotics and prebiotics, as well as DHA. You can find HiPP Combiotic Formula in the following varieties. The main difference between HiPP German and Dutch is that Dutch versions are entirely lactose based (no starch), while only HiPP German PRE and Stage 1 are lactose only. HiPP German Stage 2 and Stage 3 contain starch which helps babies feel fuller longer and contributes to a more creamier and smoother formula texture.
- HiPP German Combiotic Stage PRE (birth-6 months)
- HiPP German Combiotic Stage 1 (birth-6 months)
- HiPP German Combiotic Stage 2 (6-10 months)
- HiPP German Combiotic Stage 3 (10 months and older)
- HiPP Dutch Stage 1 (birth-6 months)
- HiPP Dutch Stage 2 (6+ months)
- HiPP Dutch Stage 3 (10+ months)
HiPP Goat Formula
HiPP also carries a line of organic goat milk formula that is made from 100% organic ingredients. This formula includes A2 beta-casein goat milk that is easier to digest. It is also rich in vitamins and fatty acids to help your baby grow. These essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids play a key role in brain and eye development. Research shows that when combined, they help support healthy neurological growth and vision in infants.
HiPP Goat Dutch comes in two stages, Stage 1 and Stage 2, to meet the evolving nutritional needs of babies as they reach different milestones. Stage 1 is made to mimic breast milk with ample vitamins and nutrients and is formulated for babies from birth to six months. It has gentle A2 goat milk proteins and prebiotics. Stage 2 is for six months of age and higher and helps to meet the growing needs of babies as they transition to solid foods.
HiPP Hypoallergenic (HA)
HiPP produces a hypoallergenic formula that features low allergenic proteins, no added sugar, and is easy to digest. You can also find Vitamins A, C, and D, as well as Omega 3 fatty acids. These fatty acids mimic those that are naturally present in breast milk and natural lactic acid. This gentle acid is naturally produced in the gut and helps to promote a healthy immune system.
It also contains hydrolyzed whey protein and prebiotics and probiotics which help boost a baby's immune system. HiPP hypoallergenic formula has a mild taste that many babies love. This can be a game changer when it comes to feedings because if the formula does not taste good, you can't expect your baby to want to drink it.
The HiPP Stage PRE is designed as a complete substitute for breast milk from birth and its lactose only formulation is designed to be easily digestible and is starch-free. HiPP Stage PRE includes the highest-quality organic ingredients and is free from GMOs, artificial colors, and preservatives. You'll also find DHA and ARA, the essential fatty acids that are crucial for brain and eye development.
Stage 1 is suitable for babies from birth to six months and is often used interchangeably with Stage PRE. The main difference is Stage 1 contains organic starch, keeping your baby full for longer periods. As with the PRE stage, you'll find the highest-quality organic ingredients as well as DHA and ARA, the essential fatty acids that are crucial for brain and eye development. HiPP Stage 1 is also GMO-free and free of artificial colors, and preservatives.
HiPP's hypoallergenic formula also comes in Stage 2. This formula is specifically for babies 6-12 months old. It is similar to Stage 1 but contains a higher iron content, making it ideal for babies transitioning to solid foods. Also, it introduces more casein so babies feel fuller longer as they start trying solid foods. You will find all of the essential vitamins and nutrients that the PRE Stage and Stage 1 include.
HiPP Anti-Reflux
HiPP Anti-Reflux is a specialty formula for babies with acid reflux problems and excessive spitting up after feeding. It is naturally thickened with locust bean gum. Many babies can keep this denser formula down more easily than regular formulas. It is also enriched with Vitamins A, C, and D. It contains fish oil and Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids.
HiPP Comfort
Good for babies of all ages, HiPP Comfort Formula is made for babies with constipation, bloating, gas, and colic. As with the hypoallergenic formulas, the milk proteins are split for easier digestion. It also reduces the risk of allergies caused by whole milk proteins. This formula is 87% hydrolyzed, similar to HiPP HA.
HiPP Comfort has less lactose than HiPP HA. It is also gluten-free. The comfort formula uses a blended carbohydrate base of starch, maltodextrin, and lactose. Comfort formula is often considered a "low-lactose" formula and can work well with infants who are also sensitive to lactose levels.
HiPP Comfort also contains essential vitamins and minerals as well as natural acid cultures, and Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. These fatty acids are important for a baby's healthy eye and brain development.
