Great formula that we trust but…

We bought Holle Bio Stage 2 Formula (6+ months). Holle is the only formula that we trust for our baby.
That one star I withdrew is because we received stage 3 formula while we bought stage 2 for our 6-month baby. I recommend even though we had our package mismatched with what we bought.

Hi Arnaud!

So incredibly sorry for this ordeal - our support staff never received an email from you indicating that you received the wrong formula otherwise we would have made an attempt at fixing the situation! Sometimes mixups happen - and especially around the holidays we might have accidentally sent you Stage 3 instead of Stage 2. That being said, the two formulas are extremely close in composition so there certainly is no harm by switching. Sorry for the complication - we've attached a credit to your account for future use anytime!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • WHEN SHOULD I SWITCH TO HOLLE STAGE 2?

    You should consider switching to Holle Stage 2 formula when your baby reaches 6 months of age. Holle Stage 2 is specifically designed for infants aged 6 to 10 months and provides additional nutrients to support their growth and development as they begin to transition to more solid foods. Signs that your baby may be ready for Stage 2 include reduced tongue reflexes, increased appetite, or if they seem unsatisfied with their current Stage 1 formula. It's advisable to consult with your pediatrician for personalized recommendations based on your baby's nutritional needs and development.

  • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLLE 1 AND 2?

    The main differences between Holle Stage 1 and Holle Stage 2 formulas are their intended age ranges and nutritional compositions. Holle Stage 1 is suitable for infants from birth to 6 months, providing essential nutrients that closely mimic breast milk, primarily using lactose as the carbohydrate source. In contrast, Holle Stage 2 is designed for babies aged 6 to 10 months and includes maltodextrin and organic starch, which provide additional energy and help keep older infants feeling fuller as they start to consume more solid foods. Stage 2 also has a higher protein content to support the increased nutritional needs of active infants. Both formulas are made with high-quality organic ingredients and are free from added sugars and artificial preservatives, ensuring they are safe and nutritious for your baby.

  • WHY IS HOLLE FORMULA BETTER?

    Holle formula is often considered better because it uses high-quality organic ingredients, including milk from grass-fed cows, ensuring it's free from harmful additives, antibiotics, and growth hormones. It closely mimics breast milk, providing a balanced mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats essential for healthy growth. Holle formulas are easy to digest and gentle on infants' stomachs, making them suitable for sensitive tummies. They also contain important vitamins and minerals, including DHA for brain development. Additionally, Holle adheres to strict European organic standards, ensuring safety and quality. These factors make Holle a trusted choice for many parents seeking nutritious options for their babies.

  • HOW TO MAKE HOLLE STAGE 2 FORMULA?

    To mix Holle Stage 2 formula, follow these steps: Wash your hands and sterilize all feeding equipment. Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool for no longer than 30 minutes. Measure the water: For every ounce of mixed formula, use 1 ounce of boiled water. For example, for 5.7 ounces of mixed formula, use 5 ounces of boiled water. Add the formula powder: Use the scoop provided with the formula to add the appropriate number of level scoops (1 scoop per ounce of water). For instance, for 5 ounces of water, add 5 scoops of formula. Mix thoroughly: Close the bottle and shake it vigorously until all the powder is completely dissolved, usually about 15 seconds. Adjust the volume: If necessary, add any remaining boiled water to reach the desired total volume of mixed formula and shake again. Cool to feeding temperature: Ensure the formula cools to around 98.6°F (37°C) before feeding, testing it on your wrist to avoid burns. Always consult with your pediatrician for specific feeding recommendations based on your baby's needs.

  • CAN YOU MAKE HOLLE FORMULA IN ADVANCE?

    Yes, you can make Holle formula in advance. It is recommended to prepare bottles for up to 24 hours and store them in the refrigerator. After mixing the formula, allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Ensure that the prepared formula is stored in the back of the refrigerator, where it is coldest, and not in the door to avoid temperature fluctuations. However, once a bottle has been warmed or partially consumed, it should be used within 1 hour or discarded. Always check the prepared formula for any signs of spoilage before feeding your baby.
