Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions below
What’s the difference between Holle German and Holle Dutch formula?
Both use Demeter-certified biodynamic milk. Holle German has five stages (PRE, 1, 2, 3, 4) and comes in cow, goat and A2 versions. Holle Dutch Cow has three stages: 0–6 months, 6–12 months and 12+ months.
Does Holle Stage 1 contain starch?
No. Holle Cow Stage 1, like Stage PRE, uses lactose as its only carbohydrate, with no maltodextrin or starch. Holle Stages 2, 3 and 4 add maltodextrin and starch.
Does Holle formula contain probiotics?
No. Holle keeps its recipes simple and doesn’t add probiotics. If you’d like a formula with probiotics, HiPP Combiotik is an option.
Which Holle German formula should I start with?
From birth, start with Holle PRE or Stage 1 in cow or goat milk, or Holle A2 Stage 1. Move to Stage 2 at about 6 months, when the AAP recommends starting solids.
Is Holle German formula organic?
Yes. Holle uses Demeter-certified biodynamic milk, which meets EU organic rules and adds stricter requirements for animal welfare, soil health and biodiversity.
