Holle Goat Milk Formula Overview

Holle has a 90 year legacy in baby formula and nutrition. Holle goat milk formulas are known for minimally processed formulas crafted from all natural and organic ingredients that meet the highest standards of organic farming. The milk used in Holle's goat formula is gently processed to preserve its nutritional integrity and closely mimic breast milk.

Benefits of Goat Milk

Goat milk formulas stand out among other types of formulas because of their nutritional profile. Goat milk contains a higher proportion of A2 beta-casein proteins compared to cow's milk. You'll also find that the fat globules in goat milk are smaller than those found in cow's milk. This can lead to better nutrient absorption and can be easier on tiny tummies.

• Similar to Breast Milk Composition: Goat milk formulas contain the A2 proteins we mentioned above which are structurally more similar to the proteins found in human breast milk. Cow's milk contains both A1 and A2 proteins, while goat milk mostly has A2 proteins. A1 proteins in cow's milk form firmer curds in the stomach, making them harder for some babies to digest. The A2 proteins in goat milk formula are softer, reducing the likelihood of stomach issues.
• Gentle on the Digestive System & Supports Immune Health: Does your baby struggle with bloating, gas, or acid reflux? If so, switching to goat milk formula can be huge because goat milk is gentler on the digestive system due to its unique structure. This allows it to be broken down easily. Goat milk also contains oligosaccharides. This prebiotic promotes healthy gut bacteria which can help to ward off infections and sickness.
• Easily Absorbed: Many parents like goat milk formulas for their babies because the fat in goat milk is more easily absorbed. This provides a plenty of energy for your baby as they grow and develop.
• Can Help Babies with Allergies: If your baby has allergies or sensitivity to milk products, goat milk formula may be a better alternative. It contains different proteins that are less likely to lead to an allergic response. Always consult with your pediatrician if you suspect your baby has food allergies and before switching to goat milk formula.
• Lower Lactose Content: Goat milk-based formula can contain less lactose than cow's milk formula. If your baby has a mild sensitivity to lactose, goat's milk may be a better option as it will be easier on their stomachs. But, if your baby has been diagnosed as being lactose intolerant, goat milk-based formula will not be a good choice because there is still a moderate amount of lactose.

Holle Goat Milk Formula Stages

Like Holle cow milk formulas, Holle goat milk formulas are available for babies from 0 to 12+ months of age.

Holle Goat Stage PRE

Holle Goat Stage PRE offers a gentle start for your baby and is easy to digest for babies 0 to 6 months of age. Use this formula from birth to provide your baby with the essential nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.

Holle Goat Stage 1

Holle Goat Stage 1 is made for babies from birth to six months old. It contains high-quality goat milk that is easy to digest. It is also enriched with vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and vitamin A, all of which are essential for growth and development.

Holle Goat Stage 2

Holle Goat Stage 2 is made for babies 6-12 months old. This formula can be given as a supplement as babies start to transition to other foods. By providing them with this formula, you can have peace of mind that they are getting all of the nutrients they need.

Holle Goat Milk Stage 3 can be the perfect choice for babies ages 10 months and older. This is a great choice for your toddler as they start to eat other foods. It's easy on the digestive system and provides all of the essential nutrients a baby needs as they continue to grow.

It's important to note that all Holle formulas draw most of their carbohydrates from organic lactose. But, from Stage 2 on, you may also find organic maltodextrin and organic starch included. These carbohydrates are important because they make your baby feel full for longer and help to enhance the formula's consistency. The specific amount of carbohydrates used will differ among the stages.

Holle Goat Dutch Milk Formula

Holle Goat is easily digestible because it's from grass-fed goats producing A2 milk, which makes it ideal for sensitive tummies.
