Shipping took longer than advertised. Our experience with Holle PRE has been fantastic. My baby loves the formula and we highly recommend it.

Hi Mei, thanks for your review! Out of luck, there was a major storm in Germany in Dec that caused some shipment delays. We strive to deliver on time but after we hand to the courier it is out of our hands. We appreciate your understanding and also have issued you a coupon for your next purchase :) Happy feeding!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • WHAT AGE IS HOLLE PRE FOR?

    Holle Pre formula is designed for newborns from birth to 6 months of age. It can be used as a complete feeding option or as a supplement to breast milk, providing essential nutrients without added starch, which helps prevent a false sense of fullness. Holle Pre is easy to digest and contains important vitamins and fatty acids that support healthy growth and development during this critical stage. Holle Stage 1 formula is also suitable for infants from birth to 6 months, making it important to consult with your pediatrician to determine the best choice for your baby's nutritional needs. Always ensure that any formula feeding aligns with your child's health requirements and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

  • DOES HOLLE PRE HAVE PROBIOTICS?

    Holle Pre formula does contain probiotics, specifically designed to support healthy gut flora in infants. This formula is crafted to be easy to digest and is suitable for newborns from birth to 6 months of age. It provides essential nutrients while being free from additives and artificial ingredients, making it a safe choice for babies. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing any new formula to ensure it meets your baby's specific nutritional needs and health requirements.

  • WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLLE PRE AND STAGE 1?

    The main difference between Holle Pre and Holle Stage 1 formulas lies in their carbohydrate content and nutritional focus. Holle Pre is designed for newborns from birth to 6 months and does not contain starch, making it easier for infants to digest while encouraging more frequent feedings, which is beneficial for their growth. In contrast, Holle Stage 1 is also suitable for infants from birth to 6 months but includes maltodextrin (a form of starch), which helps babies feel fuller for longer periods and can contribute to longer sleep stretches. Additionally, Stage 1 is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of slightly older infants as they approach 6 months, providing a gradual introduction to complex carbohydrates in preparation for solid foods. Both formulas are made with high-quality organic ingredients and are free from added sugars, preservatives, and artificial additives, ensuring safety and quality for your baby.

  • 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.

  • DOES HOLLE PRE HAVE FOLIC ACID?

    Yes, Holle Pre formula contains folic acid. Specifically, it provides 9.88 µg of folic acid per 100 ml of prepared formula. Folic acid is an essential vitamin that supports healthy growth and development in infants, particularly in the early months of life. Holle Pre is designed for newborns from birth to 6 months and is formulated to meet their nutritional needs while being easy to digest. Always consult with your pediatrician if you have any questions about your baby's nutrition or specific dietary requirements.
