European Organic Formula Brands Overview

The top European organic formula brands, HiPP, Holle, Kendamil, and Lebenswert have multiple formulas specifically optimized and developed to meet your baby's development and growth between the ages of 0 to 6 months and beyond. These formulas include cows milk, goat milk, and specialty formulas based on sensitivities. Additionally, HiPP and Holle offer German and Dutch country versions.

HiPP Formula Lines

HiPP offers multiple formulas for infants between 0-6 months. A key feature of most HiPP formulas is milk sourced from happy grass-fed cows and prebiotics/ probiotics sourced from real human milk. HiPP offers a variety of country versions (German and Dutch) and several specialty formulas to meet babies' specific dietary needs.

HiPP Combiotic Formula Options

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 1 (birth-6 months)
• HiPP Dutch Stage 1 (birth-6 months)
