Holle Organic Baby Formula Stage 4 for Toddlers 12 Months and Up
Holle Organic Baby Formula Stage 4 is a European growing-up milk designed for toddlers from 12 months who are transitioning away from infant formula and beginning to eat a wider variety of solid foods. Made with EU-certified organic cow's milk and produced in Germany by Holle, a Swiss family-run company founded in 1933, this stage 4 milk gives parents a trusted organic option to complement a balanced toddler diet. As with all formula-fed feeding journeys, we recommend speaking with your pediatrician before introducing or switching to any growing-up milk.
Holle: Over 90 Years of Organic Baby Nutrition
Founded in 1933 and headquartered in Riehen, Switzerland, Holle has spent more than 90 years focused on clean, organic nutrition for babies and young children. Its formulas are made in Germany and draw on a long relationship with biodynamic and organic farming practices.
Holle's earlier cow milk stages carry Demeter biodynamic certification, the most rigorous standard in organic agriculture. Stage 4 is certified EU organic, reflecting the standards applied to growing-up milks at this age range. Every batch starts with organic cow's milk sourced from farms committed to sustainable, chemical-free agriculture.
What Stage 4 Is and Who It Is For
Stage 4 is a growing-up milk for toddlers from 12 months onward. At this age, toddlers are eating a varied diet of solid foods, and Holle Stage 4 is formulated to complement that diet rather than replace breast milk or prior stages of infant formula.
This is not a replacement for a balanced meal plan, and it is not intended as a primary nutrition source the way earlier stages are. It works best as a nutritional top-up alongside regular toddler meals. If you are unsure whether a growing-up milk is right for your child, your pediatrician or registered dietitian is the best resource.
Ingredients and Composition
The milk base is organic cow's milk, using skimmed milk and whey. The carbohydrate blend includes lactose from milk along with maltodextrin and starch. Vegetable oils in the blend include palm oil, which is present in this stage. DHA is supplied by oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., and ARA is not present in Stage 4.
The formula contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and all dairy ingredients come from organic farming. Parents looking for a palm-oil-free option within the Holle goat milk line may find that an alternative worth exploring.
European Quality, Sourced and Shipped Authentically
Holle Stage 4 is manufactured to EU infant and follow-on food regulations and carries EU organic certification. Organic Formula Europe ships authentic, unopened cans directly from Europe to customers in the United States, so you receive the same product sold in European pharmacies and specialty stores.

Preparation and Everyday Use
Always prepare each serving fresh using clean water at the temperature specified on the packaging. Discard any unused prepared formula promptly and do not store a partially finished bottle. Wash and sterilize all equipment before each use.
Powdered formula is not sterile, so following the preparation instructions on the can carefully is important, especially for younger children with developing immune systems.

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.
