HiPP Baby Formula

The HiPP Formula Family — Which Range Is Right for Your Baby?

HiPP offers several distinct formula ranges, each designed for a different feeding situation. Understanding the differences between them makes it much easier to choose the right starting point — and to know when a different range might be worth considering as your baby grows or their needs change.

HiPP Combiotic — The Core Range

HiPP Combiotic is the brand's flagship formula range — certified organic, with the Combiotic blend of GOS prebiotics and live probiotic cultures at every stage. It's available in two versions: Dutch (lactose-only carbohydrates throughout, starch-free) and German (lactose-only at Stage 1, starch introduced from Stage 2). For most families starting with HiPP, the Dutch version is the most popular choice for its clean carbohydrate profile and gut-supportive formulation.

HiPP Hypoallergenic (HA) — For Sensitive Digestion

HiPP HA uses extensively hydrolyzed protein — cow milk protein that has been broken down into smaller fragments that are easier for sensitive immune systems to tolerate. It's designed for babies with a family history of allergy or those showing signs of cow milk sensitivity, and is available from Stage PRE through Stage 2. HiPP HA is not a treatment for confirmed CMPA — for confirmed allergy, a physician-prescribed formula is required — but it is a thoughtful option for families navigating early digestive sensitivity.

HiPP Special Formulas — For Specific Feeding Challenges

HiPP's special formula range includes comfort formula (for gas, colic, and digestive discomfort) and anti-reflux formula (for babies who frequently spit up). These are not everyday formulas — they're designed for specific feeding challenges that persist beyond the normal adjustment period. Always consult your pediatrician before switching to a special formula, particularly if your baby has a confirmed diagnosis.

HiPP's Quality Standard

Across all ranges, HiPP applies the same internal quality program — testing every batch for over 1,200 potential contaminants beyond EU organic certification requirements. This level of rigor, combined with over 60 years of experience in organic infant nutrition, is why HiPP remains one of the most trusted formula brands in the world.
