HiPP Organic Baby Formula Stage 1 for Newborns 0 to 6 Months
HiPP Organic Baby Formula Stage 1 is a German Combiotik starter formula designed for babies from birth through 6 months. Made by a family-owned company with over 125 years of farming heritage, it is certified EU organic and carries the strict HiPP Organic Seal. As with any feeding decision, consulting your pediatrician before introducing formula is always a good first step.
A Family Farm Legacy Since 1899
HiPP was founded in 1899 and has been family-run for four generations, with Stefan Hipp leading the company today from Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Germany. Every stage of production, from the organic farms to the finished can, is held to standards that exceed standard EU organic requirements.
The milk used in Stage 1 carries the EU organic certification (DE-OKO-001) as well as the German Bio-Siegel and HiPP's own Bio-Seal, a mark that represents additional quality checks HiPP applies on top of the legal minimum. The result is a formula that parents in Germany and across Europe have trusted for decades.
Who Stage 1 Is For
Stage 1 is formulated for babies from birth and can be used as a complete source of infant nutrition in the first months; HiPP positions Stage 2 as the next step after the sixth month. It belongs to HiPP's German Combiotik line, which combines GOS (galacto-oligosaccharide) prebiotics with natural lactic acid cultures (Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT5716). According to HiPP, these lactic acid cultures were originally derived from breast milk.
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants and the preferred first choice whenever possible. When formula is the right fit for your family, HiPP German Stage 1 offers a carefully quality-controlled, organically sourced option produced to EU infant-formula standards.
Ingredients and Composition
The protein base is organic skimmed cow's milk combined with an organic whey product, giving a whey-to-casein ratio appropriate for young infants. Carbohydrates come from lactose as the primary sugar, with a mild organic starch also present. The formula contains organic palm oil as part of the vegetable oil blend, along with other organic oils to supply essential fatty acids.
DHA is sourced from fish oil, meeting the EU's mandatory DHA requirement for infant formula. ARA is also present, sourced from Mortierella alpina oil. The Combiotik system adds GOS prebiotics and probiotic cultures to the formula. No soy protein is used. The formula is not Demeter-certified, only EU organic.
European Quality, Shipped to the US
Every can sold by Organic Formula Europe is sourced directly from European supply chains and shipped to the United States. You receive the same product sold in German pharmacies and supermarkets, unopened and within date, with the European DD/MM/YYYY expiry printed on the base of the can.
HiPP German formula is manufactured in Germany under EU food safety regulations, which set mandatory DHA levels and strict limits on pesticides and additives. This is a different regulatory environment from US-domestic formula, so reviewing the label with your pediatrician before switching is worthwhile.
Preparation and Everyday Use
Always prepare formula fresh using the feeding chart and scoop printed on the can, and follow the specific water temperature guidance on the packaging. Powdered infant formula is not sterile, so using appropriately hot water and discarding any unused prepared formula within the timeframe on the label is important for your baby's safety.
Once opened, use the contents within 3 weeks and store the sealed can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Packaging at a Glance
- 600g resealable carton with an inner foil pack
- Includes a measuring scoop
- Best-before date printed in European DD/MM/YYYY format on the base
- EU organic (DE-OKO-001)
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.
