HiPP Organic Baby Formula Stage 2 for Babies 6 to 12 Months
HiPP Organic Baby Formula Stage 2 is a German Combiotik follow-on formula for babies from 6 months onward, designed to complement the introduction of solid foods. Produced by the HiPP family in Germany with over 125 years of organic farming heritage, it carries the EU organic certification and the HiPP Organic Seal. Speak with your pediatrician to confirm the right time to transition your baby to a follow-on formula.
Over a Century of Organic Farming in Germany
HiPP has been a family-run company since 1899, now in its fourth generation under Stefan Hipp, headquartered in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Germany. The brand's commitment to organic agriculture predates most modern organic standards, and Stage 2 carries the EU organic seal (DE-OKO-001), the German Bio-Siegel, and HiPP's own additional Bio-Seal.
Halal-certified and non-Demeter, Stage 2 is an EU organic formula manufactured in Germany and supplied to families across Europe and the United States.
What Stage 2 Is and Who It Is For
Stage 2 is a follow-on formula for babies from 6 months of age, used alongside the gradual introduction of weaning foods. It belongs to HiPP's German Combiotik line, which includes GOS prebiotics and probiotic cultures to support digestive balance during a period when the gut microbiome is actively developing.
If your baby started on HiPP German Stage 1, Stage 2 continues the same Combiotik approach with a nutrient profile adjusted for the 6-months-plus stage. Breast milk or a Stage 1 formula remains appropriate for infants under 6 months, and your pediatrician can advise on the right timing for your baby.
Ingredients and Composition
Stage 2 is based on organic skimmed cow's milk and an organic whey product. Carbohydrates come from lactose as the main sugar, with organic starch also present to provide a slightly more filling texture suitable for older infants. Organic palm oil is included as part of the vegetable oil blend alongside other organic oils.
DHA is sourced from fish oil, in line with the EU's mandatory DHA standard for infant and follow-on formula. ARA is not present in Stage 2. The Combiotik system adds GOS (galacto-oligosaccharide) prebiotics and probiotic cultures. No soy protein is used. This formula is certified Halal.

- 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.
