Frequently Asked Questions
-
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLLE PRE AND HOLLE 1?
The main differences between Holle Pre and Holle Stage 1 formulas lie in their carbohydrate sources and intended use. Holle Pre is designed for newborns from birth to 6 months and contains no added starch, using organic lactose as its primary carbohydrate, which closely mimics the natural sugars found in breast milk. This makes it easier for infants to digest and helps prevent a false sense of fullness. In contrast, Holle Stage 1 is also suitable for infants from birth to 6 months but includes maltodextrin, a form of starch, which provides additional energy and can help babies feel fuller for longer periods. Both formulas are made with high-quality organic ingredients and adhere to strict European organic standards, ensuring they are safe and nutritious for infants.
-
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN HOLLE STAGE1?
Holle Stage 1 formula is designed for infants from birth to 6 months and contains a blend of organic ingredients, including organic skim milk powder, organic whey powder (partly demineralized), organic maltodextrin (starch), and organic vegetable oils (such as palm oil, sunflower oil, and rapeseed oil). It also includes lactose, essential vitamins and minerals (like calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin D, and folic acid), and DHA from algae oil for brain development. Holle Stage 1 is free from added sugars, gluten, artificial preservatives, and flavors, making it a safe and nutritious choice for infants. Always consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the formula meets your baby's specific nutritional needs.
-
WHY ISN T HOLLE FORMULA FDA APPROVED?
Holle formula is not FDA approved primarily due to differences in regulatory standards between the United States and Europe. While Holle meets the stringent nutritional and safety requirements set by the European Commission, these do not always align with those established by the FDA. The process for obtaining FDA approval can be costly and time-consuming, which may not be feasible for some companies like Holle that have a strong presence in Europe. Additionally, the FDA has specific labeling requirements that Holle products may not meet. It's important to note that the absence of FDA approval does not imply that Holle formula is unsafe; many parents choose to import it due to its organic credentials and positive reviews. However, parents should consult with their pediatricians to ensure they are making informed decisions about their child's nutrition and safety.

HOW TO MAKE HOLLE BIO 1 FORMULA?
To prepare Holle Bio Stage 1 formula, follow these steps: Wash your hands and sterilize all feeding equipment, including bottles and nipples, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool for no longer than 30 minutes. Avoid using artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water. Measure the water: Pour about 2/3 of the required amount of cooled water into a sterilized bottle. Add formula powder: Use the scoop provided with the formula to add one level scoop of Holle Stage 1 powder for each fluid ounce (approximately 30 ml) of water. Level off the powder without pressing down. Mix thoroughly: Cap the bottle and shake it vigorously until all the powder is completely dissolved, which usually takes about 15 seconds. Check the temperature: Before feeding, ensure the formula is at a safe temperature by testing a few drops on your wrist. Always consult with your pediatrician regarding the appropriate feeding amounts and frequency for your baby.
-
DO YOU HAVE TO BOIL WATER FOR HOLLE FORMULA?
Yes, it is recommended to boil water when preparing Holle formula. The preparation instructions suggest bringing fresh drinking water to a rolling boil for about one minute, then allowing it to cool to approximately 50°C (122°F) before mixing it with the formula powder. Boiling the water helps eliminate any potential bacteria, ensuring the safety of the formula for your baby. Always follow the specific preparation guidelines provided with the formula and consult your pediatrician if you have any concerns regarding feeding practices.
