In the first weeks of life, feeding quickly becomes one of the quiet anchors of your day 🍼. Many parents look for a formula that feels natural, dependable and nutritionally clear from the very beginning. Holle Stage PRE Organic Infant Formula is designed for newborns from birth and follows a deliberately minimalist approach to early nutrition, combining certified organic ingredients with a structure closely aligned to natural milk composition.
The recipe is built around a lactose only carbohydrate composition. Lactose is the primary carbohydrate found in breast milk, and PRE intentionally avoids complementary carbohydrates. No starch and no maltodextrin are used, helping maintain a formulation tailored specifically to newborn digestion.
Why Parents Love Holle Stage PRE 💛
- Lactose only carbohydrate structure with no starch and no maltodextrin
- Demeter certified biodynamic milk quality exceeding standard European organic requirements
- DHA and ARA long chain fatty acids supporting early brain and visual development
- Whey adjusted dairy protein composition designed to align more closely with breast milk
- Short and transparent ingredient profile centered on newborn nutritional clarity
Clear Carbohydrate Structure for Early Feeding 🍼
Holle PRE uses lactose as its sole carbohydrate, mirroring the natural energy source infants are biologically prepared to digest. This singular focus keeps the nutrient profile straightforward during a phase when simplicity often brings reassurance.
By avoiding starches and maltodextrin, the formula maintains a composition intentionally suited to exclusive milk feeding, supporting nutritional continuity from the very first bottles.
Balanced Nutrients Aligned with Early Growth 🌱
During the newborn stage, babies rely entirely on milk for energy, fats and micronutrients. Holle PRE provides a carefully calibrated energy and fat composition designed for this period of rapid development.
The formula includes plant derived DHA together with ARA, structural fatty acids that contribute to brain and eye development. A thoughtfully composed fat blend supplies dependable energy for growth, rest and neurological progress.
Certified Organic European Standards 🌿
Holle PRE is produced in Germany using Demeter certified biodynamic milk, widely recognized as one of the most demanding agricultural standards in Europe. Biodynamic farming emphasizes soil vitality, animal welfare and ecological balance beyond traditional organic frameworks.
Production follows strict European infant nutrition regulations with repeated quality checks from milk collection to sealed tin. For many parents, this depth of oversight provides reassurance at a time when trust carries exceptional weight.

My shipment came very quickly, and my baby has taken it with no issues. I use this to supplement breastfeeding, and he hasn't gotten gassy or had any issues with this formula at all. It dissolves very easily compared to other brands. I like the clean ingredients and the fact that it comes from a country that has never allowed for GMO crops. Will be purchasing again!

This is our second infant who is being fed Holle Pre formula. I chose Holle because I wanted a real organic formula sourced from grass-fed cows and I did not trust getting this from American companies. Similar to our first child, Ethan has been a great eater and sleeper and, according to our pediatrician, is in the 80th percentile for weight and height for male infants his age. He's almost six months now and we're about to start him on the Stage 2 formula, which, like his older sister did, we expect he'll consume and digest as easily as he has the Pre Formula. The customer service at OBF24 is also top-notch, which enhances the overall experience. The website is also extremely helpful in explaining the different formula options.

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).

Holle Organic Baby Formula
Holle is one of Europe’s most established brands for organic infant nutrition. Founded in 1934, the company has focused on organic and biodynamic principles long before they became widely known.
For many parents, Holle represents trust in farming practices, ingredient quality, and a clear, transparent approach to baby nutrition.

This transparent approach is one reason many families consider Holle for everyday feeding, especially when clarity and ingredient sourcing matter.
Experience & European Quality Standards
With more than 90 years of experience, Holle produces its formulas under strict European infant nutrition regulations. From raw ingredient sourcing to final packaging, each step follows clearly defined quality and safety standards.
Rather than following trends, Holle focuses on consistency, responsible farming, and carefully crafted nutrition — values that have guided the brand for generations.

I highly recommend this formula (and OBF24 as a supplier)!
When our child was having a tough time adjusting to north american formula, this formula was recommended to us by a friend who went through issue with her child. This was a game changer, as my baby went from throwing up at most feedings to normal digestion. Once I settled on Holle formula, I ended up ordering from a few different suppliers. OBF24 was hands down the easiest to deal with, and the customer service has been outstanding. I'm ordering from Vancouver, Canada, and I get my order typically within 3 days, usually ahead of the expected delivery time.
Why Holle Stage PRE Makes a Real Difference
Organic, Demeter-sourced infant formula designed for newborns from birth with a lactose-only carbohydrate base and clean, simple ingredients for gentle digestion and steady growth.
Certified Organic & Demeter Milk
Made with high-quality biodynamic cow’s milk from Demeter-certified farms, offering superior organic standards for purity and traceability.
Lactose-Only for Gentle Digestion
This formula uses lactose as the sole carbohydrate, similar to breast milk, helping support gentle, easy digestion in the earliest months.
Essential Nutrients for Early Development
Fortified with essential long-chain fatty acids such as DHA and ARA, along with all key vitamins and minerals required for healthy growth in the first months of life.
HiPP Comfort – Answers for the Starting-Out Phase
Clear, practical answers to the most common questions parents ask about HiPP Comfort special milk formula for sensitive digestion from birth onward.
What is HiPP Comfort and who is it for?
HiPP Comfort is a special milk formula designed from birth to help babies with sensitive digestion and common issues like bloating, gas, colic or constipation. It combines reduced lactose, hydrolyzed whey protein and a gentle carbohydrate blend to support more comfortable feeds and softer stools.
How does HiPP Comfort help with digestion?
The formula’s reduced lactose content and hydrolyzed protein make the milk easier to tolerate than standard formulas. Its blend of carbohydrates including maltodextrin and organic starch contributes to a smoother texture that can ease gas and support regular bowel movements.
Does HiPP Comfort contain lactose, starch, or maltodextrin?
Yes. HiPP Comfort uses reduced lactose as its primary carbohydrate, along with maltodextrin and a mild amount of organic starch to support a gentle, satisfying feed without relying exclusively on lactose.
Does HiPP Comfort include prebiotics, probiotics or other nutrients?
HiPP Comfort includes prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and probiotic cultures like Lactobacillus fermentum to help support a balanced gut microbiome. It also contains essential fatty acids, including DHA and ARA, plus vitamins and minerals needed for daily growth and development.
Can I use HiPP Comfort alongside breastfeeding?
Yes. HiPP Comfort can be used alongside breastfeeding as a supplement or as the main feed if needed, depending on your baby’s nutritional and comfort needs. Always follow the preparation instructions on the packaging to ensure safe use.
Can I switch to HiPP Comfort from a standard formula?
Yes. Many babies adjust well when switching to a formula designed for sensitive digestion. Gradually introducing HiPP Comfort over several feeds can help ease the transition, especially if your baby has shown signs of digestive discomfort with standard formula.
When should I stop using HiPP Comfort?
HiPP Comfort is suitable from birth onward, and many families use it as part of early feeding into the mixed-feeding stage after six months. Because it is a specialised formula intended to help relieve digestive symptoms, it’s generally recommended to consult with your pediatrician about when to transition back to a standard or age-appropriate formula.
