HiPP Comfort Formula for Sensitive Tummies | All Stages
HiPP Comfort Formula is a food for special medical purposes (FSMP) intended from birth for babies experiencing digestive discomfort such as colic, constipation, or gas. Because it is an FSMP, it must be used under the supervision of a pediatrician or healthcare professional. Breast milk remains the gold standard for infant nutrition, and switching to any specialized formula should always begin with a conversation with your baby's doctor.
HiPP: Over 125 Years of Family Expertise in Infant Nutrition
The Hipp family has been in infant nutrition since 1899 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Germany, and has more than 60 years of experience with infant formula. Four generations of the Hipp family, now led by Stefan Hipp, have kept the company independent. While many of HiPP's formulas carry EU organic certification, the Comfort line is a medically classified product and is not EU organic certified.
HiPP developed the Comfort formula specifically for infants whose digestive systems need extra support. It draws on the company's deep experience in infant nutrition while meeting the EU regulatory requirements for foods for special medical purposes.
What Is Comfort Formula and Who Is It For
HiPP Comfort is formulated for babies from birth who show signs of digestive discomfort, including excess gas, colic, or constipation. It achieves this through two key features: a reduced lactose content (the carbohydrate blend includes maltodextrin and starch alongside a lower level of lactose) and a hydrolyzed whey protein base, meaning the cow's milk whey has been broken down into smaller protein fragments that may be easier for sensitive tummies to process.
It is important to note that HiPP Comfort is not appropriate for babies with a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). For CMPA, an extensively hydrolyzed or amino-acid-based formula prescribed by a doctor is required. Comfort is designed for functional digestive discomfort, not allergy management.
Ingredients and Composition
The protein source is hydrolyzed whey protein derived from cow's milk. The carbohydrate blend combines reduced lactose with maltodextrin and starch to ease the digestive load. The vegetable oil blend includes palm oil and beta-palmitate (derived from palm oil and sunflower oil). DHA is sourced from fish oil and ARA is present, sourced from Mortierella alpina oil.
HiPP Comfort does not carry an EU organic or HiPP Bio-Siegel. It is Halal-certified and classified as a food for special medical purposes (bilanzierte Diät) under EU food law. Parents looking for a standard organic option may want to explore the HiPP comfort formula collection for comparison with other digestive-support options.
Sourced in Europe, Shipped to the US
Every pack of HiPP Comfort sold through Organic Formula Europe is sourced directly from European stock and shipped to the US. You receive the authentic German-manufactured product in its original EU packaging, with the best-before date printed in the European DD/MM/YYYY format.
Specialist importers provide traceability that general retail channels cannot always match. If your child's doctor has recommended this formula, ordering through a trusted importer ensures you get the exact product that has been evaluated and approved for your baby.
Preparation and Use Under Medical Guidance
Always prepare each feed exactly as instructed on the pack. Do not alter the concentration. Powdered infant formula is not a sterile product, so follow recommended water temperature guidelines and prepare feeds fresh for each feeding session.
Because HiPP Comfort is an FSMP, the duration of use and the decision to continue or stop should be reviewed regularly with your pediatrician. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. See also: baby formula for constipation for related options your doctor may want to consider.

- Includes a measuring scoop inside the carton
- Best-before date in European DD/MM/YYYY format
- Not EU organic certified (FSMP regulatory classification)
How to Prepare Powdered Formula
- Boil fresh water for each feed and let it cool to the temperature printed on your can. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so the CDC and WHO advise that water at about 158°F (70°C) lowers the risk of Cronobacter, especially for newborns and higher-risk infants. Follow your can's instructions and ask your pediatrician which approach is right for your baby.
- Pour about two-thirds of the required water into a clean, sterilized bottle.
- Use only the scoop provided with your formula pack (sizes may vary). Add the correct number of level scoops - 1 scoop per 1 oz / 30 ml of water.
- Close the bottle with the nipple and cap. Shake vigorously until all powder is dissolved.
- Add the remaining water and shake again.
- Cool to drinking temperature (approx. 98 °F / 37 °C). Always test the milk temperature before feeding to avoid scalding your baby.
Important Information
- Only use the scoop included in the package.
- Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated. Do not add extra water, scoops, or other ingredients.
- Always prepare fresh. Do not prepare bottles in advance. Discard any leftovers after each feed.
- Never heat bottles in the microwave - hot spots can cause burns.
- Once opened, use formula within 21 days. Never use beyond the expiration date printed on the box/tin (format: day/month/year).
- Avoid storing formula in hot or humid environments.
