Holle Organic Goat Formula Stage 4 for Toddlers 12 Months and Up
Holle Organic Goat Formula Stage 4 is an EU-certified organic growing-up milk for toddlers from 12 months. Made with whole goat milk powder and manufactured in Germany by Holle, a Swiss family-run company founded in 1933, it gives families who prefer goat milk a clean, organic option as their toddler moves toward a full family diet. This stage is certified EU organic. We recommend checking in with your pediatrician before introducing a growing-up milk or making any change to your toddler's nutrition plan.
Holle: A Long History in Organic Baby Food
Founded in 1933 in Riehen, Switzerland, Holle has spent over 90 years focusing on clean organic nutrition for babies and young children. Its formulas are made in Germany using milk from farms that meet rigorous organic and biodynamic standards. The earlier stages of the Holle goat line carry full Demeter biodynamic certification.
Stage 4 is certified EU organic, which applies to growing-up milks at this age stage. All goat milk ingredients come from organic farming, and the formula is free from synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and artificial additives.
Growing-Up Milk from 12 Months
From 12 months, toddlers are eating a wide variety of foods and their nutritional needs shift significantly. Stage 4 is a growing-up milk designed to complement a balanced toddler diet, not to serve as a primary food source. It is best used as one part of a varied meal plan.
The formula uses whole goat milk powder. Goat milk is naturally higher in A2 beta-casein protein compared to standard cow milk. Goat milk formula is not hypoallergenic, so it is not suitable for toddlers with a confirmed cow's milk protein allergy due to cross-reactivity.

Ingredients and Composition
The carbohydrate blend includes lactose along with maltodextrin and starch to meet the energy needs of an active toddler. Vegetable oils are sunflower oil and rapeseed oil. This formula contains no palm oil.
DHA is provided by oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. ARA is not present in Stage 4. The formula contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and all dairy ingredients are from EU-certified organic farming.
Authentic European Formula Shipped to the United States
Organic Formula Europe imports authentic Holle products directly from Europe and delivers them to families across the United States. Every can is sealed, within its full shelf life, and identical to what is sold in European organic food stores and pharmacies.
Holle's EU organic certification is issued under European regulatory standards, which are not the same as USDA organic certification but reflect an equally serious approach to organic agriculture.
Preparation and Use
Follow the preparation guide printed on the can for water temperature and powder-to-water ratios. Make each cup or bottle fresh and discard any leftovers. Clean and sterilize all equipment before each use.
Powdered formula is not sterile. Safe preparation practice is important even for toddlers.

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.
