HiPP Dutch Organic Formula Stage 3 for Babies from 10 Months
HiPP Dutch Organic Formula Stage 3 is a certified EU-organic follow-on (growing-up) milk designed for babies from around 10 months, as they become increasingly active and eat a growing variety of solid foods. Formulated on the HiPP Bio Combiotik base, it contains GOS prebiotics from lactose and natural lactic acid cultures alongside a varied weaning diet. Parents are encouraged to speak with a pediatrician to confirm the right time to introduce a Stage 3 formula.
HiPP's Family Heritage Since 1899
HiPP has made baby food since 1899, starting on the family farm in Bavaria under Joseph and Maria Hipp. Now in its fourth generation, the company remains family-run and applies a private organic quality standard that the company states goes beyond the EU organic regulation.
Stage 3 carries the EU organic leaf and is certified organic under EU organic rules. HiPP also applies its own HiPP Bio quality standard, which is HiPP's own company standard rather than an independent certification. This formula is not Demeter certified.
Supporting Active Older Infants from 10 Months
Stage 3 is formulated for the growing energy and nutrient needs of older infants who are eating complementary foods but still benefit from the additional iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and other micronutrients a fortified milk formula provides.
Compared to earlier stages, Stage 3 adjusts the protein-to-energy ratio and supports babies who are becoming mobile and curious. It fits naturally alongside a family table diet and is designed to be used as part of a balanced daily routine. Browse the full HiPP Dutch formula range to plan your baby's feeding journey.
Ingredients and Composition
The base is organic cow's milk (biologische melk), supplying intact, non-hydrolyzed protein. The carbohydrate source is lactose with added GOS prebiotics from lactose. No starch or maltodextrin is listed in the Stage 3 ingredient panel. The vegetable oil blend includes organic palm oil.
DHA is present and derived from fish oil. ARA is not included in Stage 3. Natural lactic acid cultures are included as part of the Combiotik composition, along with the GOS prebiotics.
Authentic EU Organic Formula Delivered to the US
All EU infant and follow-on formulas are produced under strict European regulations that mandate DHA, set tight limits on pesticide residues, and require compliance with EU organic standards where the organic label is used. Organic Formula Europe imports genuine, factory-sealed cans from European distributors.
The product is identical to what is available in Dutch and German pharmacies. Cans arrive with the original European seals intact and an expiration date in DD/MM/YYYY format. Our team inspects each shipment before dispatch.
Preparation and Next Steps
Follow the preparation guide printed on the can and prepare each serving fresh. Powdered infant formula is not sterile; consult your pediatrician or public health guidance on safe preparation practices.
When your child is ready to move beyond Stage 3, explore HiPP Dutch Stage 4 for toddlers from 24 months. Your pediatrician can advise on the right transition timing for your child.
Packaging at a Glance
- 800g resealable can
- Includes a measuring scoop
- European date format (DD/MM/YYYY) on the base of the can
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.
