HiPP Dutch Hypoallergenic Formula Stage 1 for Newborns 0 to 6 Months
HiPP Dutch Hypoallergenic Formula Stage 1 is a partially hydrolyzed infant formula for babies from birth to 6 months whose family history puts them at elevated risk of developing allergies. It is designed as a preventive option, not as a treatment for a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA). Always speak with your pediatrician before choosing this formula, and keep in mind that breast milk remains the optimal source of nutrition for newborns.
HiPP: Over 125 Years of Infant Formula Development
Founded in 1899 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Germany, HiPP is one of Europe's longest-established infant nutrition companies. The family-owned business, now in its fourth generation under Stefan Hipp, brings more than a century of expertise to every product it makes.
The Dutch HA line is part of HiPP's Dutch-market range. Because partially hydrolyzed whey protein cannot be sourced in certified organic form, this formula does not carry EU organic certification. It is not the HiPP Bio-Siegel organic range. It is Halal-certified.
Partially Hydrolyzed Whey for Allergy-Risk Reduction
The distinguishing feature of the HA (hypoallergenic) line is its protein source: the cow's milk whey has been partially hydrolyzed, meaning the proteins are broken into smaller fragments. This process is associated with a reduced risk of developing allergic sensitization in infants with a family history of allergy.
It is critical to understand that partially hydrolyzed formula is not appropriate for babies who have already been diagnosed with cow's milk protein allergy. For those infants, an extensively hydrolyzed or amino-acid-based formula prescribed by a doctor is required. This product is a preventive measure for at-risk but currently healthy infants, used under pediatrician guidance.
Ingredients and Composition
The protein base is partially hydrolyzed cow's milk whey. The carbohydrate source is lactose, supplemented with galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose. No starch or maltodextrin is listed in this stage. The vegetable oil blend includes palm oil (from sustainable cultivation). DHA is provided from fish oil and ARA is present, sourced from Mortierella alpina oil.
As noted above, this formula is not organic certified. The HiPP hypoallergenic formula collection page has further information on the full HA range available for US families.
Imported Directly from Europe
Organic Formula Europe sources each can of HiPP Dutch HA Formula directly from European stock and ships it to the US. You receive the authentic Dutch-market product with its original EU labeling, including the best-before date in DD/MM/YYYY format.
Specialist importation ensures that the product you receive is the genuine article and has been handled correctly throughout. Explore the HiPP HA formula range to see how Stage 1 fits within HiPP's broader hypoallergenic offering.
Preparation and Everyday Use
Always prepare each feed according to the instructions on the can and never alter the concentration. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so use water that has been boiled and cooled to the appropriate temperature, and prepare feeds fresh for each session.
If you are considering transitioning from or to this formula, or if your baby shows any signs of allergy during feeding, speak with your healthcare provider promptly.
Packaging at a Glance
- Net weight: 800g per can
- Includes a measuring scoop inside the can
- Best-before date in European DD/MM/YYYY format
- Not EU organic certified (partially hydrolyzed HA line)
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.
