Read the full review
In the earliest weeks, feeding quickly becomes one of the most important rhythms in your baby’s day. Many parents therefore look for a formula that is not only complete, but intentionally structured to feel gentle and physiologically familiar from the very first bottle. HiPP Stage PRE Combiotic Infant Formula is produced in Germany to provide balanced, from-birth nutrition with a clear, breast-milk-inspired composition — supporting calm, dependable feeding during a time when reassurance matters most.
Gentle Support for the Earliest Days 🍼
Designed for newborns from birth, HiPP PRE follows a deliberately simple nutritional philosophy. By relying on lactose as the sole carbohydrate — the same primary carb found in breast milk — the formula supports smooth digestion without introducing unnecessary complexity during a highly sensitive developmental stage.
Many parents appreciate this clarity, especially when feeding decisions feel particularly significant in the first months of life.
Why Parents Love HiPP PRE 💛
Families often choose HiPP PRE because each ingredient serves a clear nutritional purpose, creating a formula that feels thoughtfully engineered rather than heavily modified.
- Lactose-only carbohydrates — no added starch or maltodextrin, supporting naturally smooth digestion.
- COMBIOTIC blend — prebiotic GOS fibers paired with probiotic cultures such as Lactobacillus fermentum to help nurture a balanced gut environment.
- DHA & ARA — long-chain fatty acids that contribute to normal brain and eye development.
- Metafolin® folate — a bioavailable form of folate that supports cellular growth and nervous-system development.
- EU-organic and batch tested — produced under strict European standards with consistent quality controls.
The result is a newborn formula designed to feel both modern in its nutrition and reassuringly straightforward in its composition.
Combiotic Ingredients for Everyday Confidence 🌿
HiPP’s COMBIOTIC concept combines carefully selected prebiotics with probiotic cultures to help support the development of a stable gut environment — an important foundation during early life when digestion is still maturing.
Rather than focusing on trends, this approach reflects HiPP’s long-standing emphasis on nutritional balance and functional clarity.
Made in Germany under Strict EU Standards 🇩🇪
HiPP PRE is certified organic and produced under some of the world’s most rigorous infant-formula regulations. From carefully sourced milk to sealed packaging, each batch undergoes repeated quality checks designed specifically for newborn nutrition.
You will not find GMOs, artificial preservatives, or unnecessary additives — only a clean, purpose-built recipe many families feel confident relying on for their baby’s first feeds.
Designed for Early Feeding Rhythms 🧸
Newborn feeding is rarely predictable, yet having a formula you trust can make those daily patterns feel steadier. With its balanced fat blend, easy-to-digest dairy proteins, and physiologically familiar carbohydrate structure, HiPP PRE integrates smoothly into both exclusive formula-feeding and combination feeding routines.
Over time, many parents find that when feeding feels dependable, the entire day begins to feel more settled.
A Reassuring Choice from Start to Finish 💛
Choosing a newborn formula is rarely about searching for perfection — it is about selecting a nutritional foundation you can rely on from the very beginning. A thoughtfully structured PRE formula helps create that sense of reassurance, bottle after bottle.
Since 2011, OBF24 has carefully selected European baby formulas to support families through every feeding stage — offering a smooth, dependable experience that keeps the focus where it belongs: on your baby.

I absolutely love this formula and so does my son. It was an easy transition from breast milk to combo feeding to now just formula. I love that they don’t use folic acid but instead use folate. I also like that it doesn’t have that awful typical formula smell that I remember.

Stress-Free Bottle Making. Ready in Minutes.
European formula has a few small differences from US brands, but the preparation is just as easy. Below you’ll find a simple step-by-step guide to mix safe, smooth, perfectly portioned bottles every time.
Step-by-Step Bottle Preparation
1. Clean & sterilize
Wash the bottle, teat, and ring, then place them in boiling water for 3–5 minutes.
2. Prepare fresh water
Boil fresh water for each feed and let it cool to about 50 °C / 122 °F.
3. Add part of the water
Pour about half of the required water into the clean bottle.
4. Add the powder
Use the scoop provided in the pack and add the number of level scoops shown in the feeding table.
A common rule of thumb is 1 scoop per 1 fl oz — but always follow the instructions on your specific box.
5. Mix thoroughly
Close the bottle tightly and shake well until the powder is fully dissolved.
Add the remaining water and shake again gently until the formula is smooth.
6. Cool & check the temperature
Let the bottle cool to about 37 °C / 98.6 °F.
Always test before feeding.
Extra Tips for Safe & Hygienic Feeding
- Always use the scoop that comes with the pack.
- Do not adjust the feed strength.
- Prepare feeds fresh and discard leftovers.
- Never heat formula in the microwave.
- Use opened formula within the timeframe stated on your box (often 2–3 weeks).

Great alternative to fortify breastmilk
I bought this formula for my preemies who was born just shy of 34 gestation. It is being used to fortify my breastmilk and mixing instructions are the same as the canadian formula. He is drinking his bottles quickly with no issues and has lots of bowel movements. Only negative is that it expires after 21 days of opening the box. Canadian formula lasts much longer which would result in less waste.

Why HiPP Stage PRE Makes a Real Difference
A gentle, organic Combiotic infant formula designed to provide complete nutrition from birth with a lactose-only carbohydrate profile and a blend of prebiotics and probiotics to support healthy digestion and early development.
Organic, Pure Nutrition from Birth
Formulated with high-quality organic cow’s milk and carefully selected ingredients under strict European organic standards to support complete infant nourishment.
Lactose-Only for Smooth Digestion
With lactose as the sole carbohydrate — like in breast milk — and no starch or maltodextrin, this formula supports gentle digestion and easy feeding.
Combiotic Support for Balanced Gut Health
Enhanced with a thoughtful blend of prebiotics and probiotics to help promote a balanced gut microbiome and support digestive comfort and immune development.
HiPP Stage PRE – Answers for the Starting-Out Phase
Clear, practical answers to the most common questions parents ask about HiPP Stage PRE infant formula from birth.
What is HiPP Stage PRE and who is it for?
HiPP Stage PRE is an organic Combiotic infant formula designed for babies from birth up to about six months. It provides complete everyday nutrition when breastfeeding isn’t possible or needs to be supplemented, mimicking breast milk with a gentle, easy-to-digest profile.
How is HiPP Stage PRE different from HiPP Stage 1?
Both Stage PRE and Stage 1 are suitable from birth up to 6 months, but Stage PRE uses lactose as the only carbohydrate and does not include starch. Stage 1 also uses lactose but typically has a small amount of organic starch in the recipe, which can slightly affect texture and satiety.
Does HiPP Stage PRE contain prebiotics, probiotics, DHA and other key nutrients?
Yes. The formula contains prebiotic oligosaccharides and probiotic cultures (Combiotic blend), as well as DHA, ARA and essential vitamins and minerals, all in line with European infant formula standards to support digestion, immune health and development.
Does HiPP Stage PRE contain maltodextrin or starch?
No. Unlike some other stage formulas, HiPP Stage PRE uses lactose as the sole carbohydrate and does not contain added starch or maltodextrin, which helps keep bottles gentle and easy on newborn digestion.
Can I use HiPP Stage PRE alongside breastfeeding?
Yes. HiPP Stage PRE can be used alongside breastfeeding as a supplement or as the main milk feed if breastfeeding is not possible. Follow the preparation instructions on the packaging to ensure safe, accurate feeding.
Can I switch to HiPP Stage PRE from another formula?
Yes. Most babies adapt well to a formula change. If your baby has a sensitive tummy, you can introduce HiPP Stage PRE gradually over several feeds by mixing increasing amounts of the new formula with the previous one.
When should I switch from HiPP Stage PRE to Stage 1?
HiPP Stage PRE is intended from birth up to about six months. Many families transition to Stage 1 around this time as solids are introduced and feeding needs evolve. A small amount of flexibility around the timing is normal.
