HIPP DUTCH FORMULA

HiPP is a world-renown, family-owned German formula and baby food company with a history dating back to 1932. They are pioneers in European organic farming. They operate a large network of German organic family farms, where they raise grass-fed cows and goats for their formula milk and cultivate organic fruit and vegetables for their delicious weaning foods. HiPP Dutch Organic formula surpasses all European Union standards for organic certification and undergoes packaging in the Netherlands following manufacturing in Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions below

Why is HiPP Dutch often preferred over HiPP German?

 

While both are produced by HiPP to the same organic standards, most parents choose HiPP Dutch for two main reasons: Ingredients and Packaging. * Ingredients: Unlike the German version, HiPP Dutch is entirely starch-free across all stages (1, 2, and 3), relying solely on organic lactose. This makes it easier to digest for babies with sensitive stomachs. Packaging: It comes in a sturdy 800g resealable tin, which provides better protection against moisture and is significantly easier to scoop from compared to the cardboard boxes used for the German line.

Is HiPP Dutch Stage 2 starch-free?

 

Targets a very specific "Ingredient" query. Many Stage 2 formulas (including HiPP German) add starch, so parents specifically search for starch-free follow-on options. Expert Answer: Yes. This is the "hidden gem" of the Dutch line. Most European Stage 2 (follow-on) formulas add organic starch to increase satiety. However, HiPP Dutch Stage 2 remains 100% starch-free. This makes it the ideal choice for parents who want to increase their baby's iron and calcium intake (as required after 6 months) without introducing complex carbohydrates that might cause gas or constipation in a baby used to a lactose-only diet.

Does HiPP Dutch contain both Prebiotics and Probiotics?

 

Yes. HiPP Dutch features the full Combiotik® system. This includes GOS prebiotics (Galacto-oligosaccharides derived from lactose) and natural probiotic Lactic Acid cultures (originally isolated from breast milk). This "synbiotic" combination is crucial for North American parents looking to support their baby’s microbiome, particularly for infants born via C-section who may need extra support in colonizing beneficial gut bacteria.

What is the shelf life of HiPP Dutch once the tin is opened?

 

Because the HiPP Dutch tin has a superior airtight seal compared to boxed formulas, the powder stays fresh for up to 3 weeks after opening. Always ensure the tin is stored in a cool, dry place (not the fridge) and that the lid is snapped shut after every use. The built-in "leveler" in the tin also ensures that your measurements remain precise, which prevents the nutritional imbalances that can occur with packed or "heaping" scoops.

Why is there no "Stage PRE" in the HiPP Dutch line?

 

In the Dutch market, Stage 1 serves the same purpose as the German "Stage PRE." Because HiPP Dutch is already starch-free, there is no need for a separate "PRE" stage. HiPP Dutch Stage 1 is perfectly balanced with a 60:40 whey-to-casein ratio, making it suitable as a complete breast milk substitute or supplement from birth up to 6 months. It provides the same gentle, lactose-only start that the German PRE version offers, but in the larger, more convenient Dutch format.
