Where Would You Like to Start?
Find the right stage for your baby’s age.
- Shop Stage PRE — Newborn, 0–6 months. Closest to breast milk, no added starch.
- Shop Stage 1 — 0–6 months. Suitable from birth, slightly more filling than PRE.
- Shop Stage 2 — 6–12 months. Follow-on formula as solids are introduced.
- Shop Stage 3 — 10–12+ months. Toddler formula with added vitamins.
- Shop Stage 4 — 12–24 months. Junior milk for active toddlers.
Both are organic and nutritionally complete. The difference is in digestion.
- Shop Cow Milk Formula — The most widely used choice. Suitable for most healthy babies.
- Shop Goat Milk Formula — Naturally easier to digest for some babies.
Not sure? Most healthy babies start with cow milk. Consider goat milk if your baby shows signs of digestive discomfort.
We have formulas designed for specific needs. Always check with your pediatrician before switching.

How to Prepare Your Formula
Common Questions From Parents
What’s the difference between Stage PRE and Stage 1?
Stage PRE contains no added starch and is the closest to breast milk — ideal for newborns. Stage 1 is slightly more filling and also suitable from birth. Both are good starting points for healthy babies.
Can I switch between brands or stages?
Yes. Introduce the new formula gradually over a few days by mixing it with the current one. Most babies adjust well within a week.
Is goat milk formula safe from birth?
Yes, when it meets EU organic standards — as all formulas in our store do. It is not a substitute for babies with a diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy. Consult your pediatrician if you are unsure.
What does “Combiotic” mean?
HiPP Combiotic formulas contain prebiotics and probiotics to support a healthy gut microbiome — similar to what is naturally found in breast milk.
