Holle Organic Goat Formula Stage 3 for Babies 10 to 12 Months
Holle Organic Goat Formula Stage 3 is a Demeter biodynamic junior milk for babies from about 10 months who are eating a growing variety of solid foods and moving toward a more diverse diet. Made with whole goat milk powder from certified biodynamic farms and produced in Germany, it continues the goat milk journey through the later stages of infancy. Holle has been a trusted name in organic baby nutrition since 1933. We recommend speaking with your pediatrician before introducing Stage 3 or making any change to your baby's feeding routine.
Holle's Biodynamic Heritage
Holle was founded in 1933 in Riehen, Switzerland, and manufactures its formulas in Germany. For over 90 years the company has worked with biodynamic and organic farms, holding Demeter certification across much of its product range. Demeter is the world's leading biodynamic certification body, setting standards that cover soil health, crop management, livestock care, and processing.
Stage 3 carries Demeter certification with a biodynamic ingredient share of 74 percent. All goat milk is sourced from Demeter-certified herds, and the remaining ingredients hold EU organic certification.
A Stage 3 Goat Milk Formula for Older Infants
From around 10 months, babies are typically eating three meals a day and relying less on formula as their primary calorie source. Stage 3 is designed to complement this transition, providing a nutritional bridge between infant formula and a full toddler diet. It is formulated to pair with solid foods, not to replace them.
Like all goat milk formulas, Stage 3 uses whole goat milk powder. Goat milk is naturally higher in A2 beta-casein protein, which some families prefer. It is not hypoallergenic, however, and cross-reactivity with cow's milk proteins means it is not appropriate for babies with a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy. Speak with your baby's doctor if you have any concerns. You can also explore the full Holle goat milk range or see what toddler formulas are available as your baby approaches 12 months.
Ingredients and Composition
The carbohydrate blend in Stage 3 combines lactose with maltodextrin and starch to meet the higher energy demands of active older infants. Vegetable oils are sunflower oil and rapeseed oil, and this formula contains no palm oil.
DHA is provided by oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. ARA is not present in Stage 3. All ingredients are free from artificial additives, colors, and preservatives, and the goat milk base comes from certified biodynamic organic farming.
European Quality Delivered to the US
Organic Formula Europe imports authentic Holle cans directly from Europe and ships them to US families. Every can you receive is sealed, within its full shelf life, and identical to what is sold in European organic food stores and pharmacies.
Holle's Demeter and EU organic certifications are issued under European standards. These are not USDA organic certifications, which are a separate program, but they represent a comparably rigorous framework for organic production.
Preparation and Feeding
Always follow the preparation instructions printed on the can. Use water at the recommended temperature, mix freshly for each feed, and discard any formula left after a feeding session.
Powdered formula is not sterile. Careful preparation and sterilized equipment at every feed are important for your baby's safety.

How to Prepare Powdered Formula
- Boil fresh water for each feed. Let it cool down to about 120 °F (50 °C) before mixing with the formula.
- 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.

- 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.
