HIPP GERMAN FORMULA
Starch-Free Nutrition with Combiotic Support
HiPP German formulas combine advanced nutritional science with strict organic purity. Here’s how this premium range utilizes specialized care options and prebiotic and probiotic support to nurture your baby’s health.
-
Standard Stages 1 through 3 include a small amount of organic starch, which gives the formula a thicker, more filling texture. Stage PRE and a dedicated “no starch” version of Stage 2 stay starch-free for parents who prefer a lighter, lactose-only formula.
-
HiPP German includes galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) to support gut bacteria, along with a live probiotic culture, Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 (recently reclassified as Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT5716), originally isolated from breast milk. Together, these are meant to support digestion and a developing immune system.
-
The German line covers more stages than the UK or Dutch versions. Stage PRE comes first, formulated with lactose as the only carbohydrate for newborns. Later stages adjust the nutrient profile as a baby grows, ending with two Kindermilch stages for toddlers.
-
Parents managing a specific feeding issue have more options with HiPP German than with the UK or Dutch ranges. The line includes Hypoallergenic (HA), Comfort, and Anti-Reflux (AR) formulas alongside the standard stages.
-
Like the rest of the HiPP Organic baby formula range, German formulas are produced under HiPP’s own organic certification, which goes beyond standard EU requirements. Raw materials are checked against more than 1,000 substances, and finished products go through roughly 260 quality checks before release.
HiPP German Formula Ingredients
HiPP German formulas are built on organic dairy with lactose as the primary carbohydrate, and include DHA, ARA, GOS prebiotics and a probiotic culture.
-
Skimmed milk, whole milk, cream, or organic goat’s milk, depending on the product line.
-
Lactose as the primary energy source, with organic starch added in standard Stages 1 to 3. The Comfort specialty formula includes maltodextrin alongside starch and lactose for reduced-lactose support.
-
Organic sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, and certified sustainable palm oil, used together to round out the fat profile.
-
Fatty acids sourced from fish oil and Mortierella alpina oil to support brain and eye development.
-
Galacto-oligosaccharides from lactose, paired with a naturally derived lactic acid culture for gut support.
-
A bioavailable form of folate, calcium-L-methylfolate, used in place of synthetic folic acid.
-
Intact cow’s or goat’s milk protein in standard formulas, or hydrolyzed whey protein in the HA and Comfort lines.
-
A natural thickener used in the Anti-Reflux formula to help reduce spit-up.
-
Lactose covers the carbohydrate needs without added processed sugar.
-
Nothing synthetic is added to extend shelf life.
-
Only palm oil from certified sustainable sources is used.
-
Metafolin replaces standard folic acid across most of the range.
-
All ingredients meet EU non-GMO sourcing standards.
A note on regulations: HiPP German formulas are formulated to meet EU nutritional standards, which differ somewhat from FDA requirements. Parents in the United States or other countries outside the EU should check with a pediatrician about whether any additional iron or vitamin supplementation is recommended.

Choose HiPP German if your baby needs a specific stage type, a thicker starch-added feed, or one of the specialty lines. For babies who do well on a simple starch-free formula, HiPP Dutch or HiPP UK may be a simpler fit.

If your baby has a confirmed allergy or a diagnosed digestive condition, talk with your pediatrician before choosing a specialty formula.

We continue to stock remaining BIO Combiotik inventory alongside the new PUR products, so you can either finish on the formulation your baby is used to or transition to PUR. The Combiotik stages listed are BIO-formulation stocks.

Stages at a Glance
Stage changes should follow your baby’s actual development, not a strict timeline. If your baby is content and growing well at a given stage, there is no need to move ahead simply because the next one exists. When in doubt, a pediatrician is the best resource.
| Stage | Primary Characteristics and Carbohydrate Source |
|---|---|
| Stage PRE (From birth) | Lactose only, with no added starch, for the lightest consistency in the range |
| Stage 1 (From birth) | Lactose-based, with a small amount of organic starch added for a thicker feed |
| Stage 2 (From 6 months) | Iron levels increased to support the weaning period; available with or without starch |
| Stage 3 (From 10 months) | Higher in calories and nutrient density to suit an increasingly active infant |
| Kindermilch 1+ (From 12 months) | A toddler milk fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and iodine |
| Kindermilch 2+ (From 24 months) | A follow-on toddler milk with a broader balance of micronutrients and fatty acids |

Preparation & Storage Tips
HiPP German prepares the same way as most powdered formulas, though water temperature and scoop counts vary slightly by stage. Always check the chart printed on your specific tin.
-
- Sterilize First: Wash your hands and sterilize the bottle, nipple, and ring before each use.
- Boil and Cool the Water: Boil fresh drinking water. HiPP’s German on-pack instructions direct you to let it cool to roughly 104°F to 122°F before mixing. Note that U.S. guidance from the CDC and FDA recommends preparing powdered formula with water no cooler than 158°F, then cooling the prepared bottle under running water before feeding. Follow your pediatrician’s guidance on which method to use.
- Pour the Water: Pour about half of the required water into the bottle first.
- Measure the Powder: Use only the scoop included in your specific pack. Level it off with the back of a knife rather than pressing it down. Add the number of scoops listed on the feeding chart for your baby’s stage.
- Mix and Check Temperature: Cap the bottle and shake well. Add the remaining water and shake again until the powder is fully dissolved. Cool the bottle under running water to around 98.6°F. Test a few drops on your wrist before feeding.
-
- Prepare Fresh Each Time: Make up each bottle right before a feed rather than in advance.
- Use Within Two Hours: Feed prepared formula within two hours of mixing, and discard anything left over afterward.
- Skip the Microwave: Microwaving can create uneven hot spots that may scald your baby’s mouth.
- Store the Powder Properly: Keep the opened package in a cool, dry place below 77°F, away from strong odors.
- Mind the Expiration After Opening: Use an opened foil sachet within three weeks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About HiPP German Formula
-
Yes. Many parents choose HiPP German for its range of stages and specialty options, particularly families managing a baby’s specific feeding needs. Formuland’s own Trustpilot record includes more than 4,100 verified reviews, and HiPP comes up often among the formulas parents mention. As with any formula, results vary by baby.
-
No single formula fully matches breast milk, but HiPP German includes several features meant to come close to it, including lactose as a primary carbohydrate, DHA and ARA for brain and eye development, and a probiotic culture originally isolated from breast milk. Stage PRE in particular is formulated for a newborn’s earliest needs.
-
HiPP Dutch stays starch-free across all stages and comes in an 800g tin. HiPP German comes in 600g boxes, adds mild starch in later stages, and includes specialty lines like HA, Comfort, and Anti-Reflux.
When deciding whether HiPP German or HiPP Dutch is better, the right choice simply depends on your baby’s starch tolerance and whether you need a specialty formula.
For a detailed breakdown, check the Formuland European Formula Comparison Chart.
-
Yes. HiPP formulas are certified organic under HiPP’s own in-house program, which exceeds standard EU organic requirements. Raw materials are checked against more than 1,000 substances, and finished batches go through roughly 260 quality checks before release.
-
HiPP’s pricing reflects its organic certification, ingredient sourcing, and the extra testing built into every batch. Specialty formulas such as HA, Comfort, and Anti-Reflux typically cost more than standard stages, since they require more involved processing, including protein hydrolysis or added thickeners.
