Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions below
What's the difference between HiPP Stage PRE and Stage 1?
Both are for babies from birth to 6 months. Stage PRE uses lactose as its only carbohydrate, while Stage 1 adds a small amount of starch, which some parents find keeps baby fuller between feeds.
When should I move to HiPP Stage 2?
Stage 2 is designed for around 6 months, when the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends starting solid foods. Stage 3 follows from 10 months and Kindermilch 1+ from 12 months. Check with your pediatrician before switching.
What does Combiotik mean?
Combiotik formulas combine prebiotics with Lactobacillus fermentum, a probiotic culture unique to HiPP, to support your baby's developing gut flora.
Can I fly with HiPP formula?
Yes. TSA allows formula in reasonable quantities over 3.4 oz in your carry-on when traveling with a baby. Just declare it at screening. Ready-to-feed bottles are the easiest option for flights.
How should I store prepared HiPP formula?
The CDC advises using prepared formula within 2 hours, or within 1 hour once feeding starts. If you won't use it right away, refrigerate it at 40°F or colder and use it within 24 hours.
How is HiPP German different from HiPP Dutch?
Both are made by HiPP, but they're produced for different markets and use different staging and packaging. German HiPP comes in cardboard boxes. See our HiPP Dutch Formula collection to compare.
