A Comparison of Holle A2 and Holle Cow
Both lines meet the same Demeter and EU organic standards. Where they differ is in how the protein behaves once a baby digests it. The table below lays out the practical differences.
Important Note: Holle A2 Formula is still a cow milk product. It is not suitable for babies with a diagnosed cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) or lactose intolerance. If your baby has a known allergy or diagnosed condition, speak with your pediatrician before choosing between these formulas or switching from one to another.

The Nutritional Profile of Holle Organic A2 Milk Formula
Holle Organic A2 Cow Milk Formula combines pure A2 beta-casein skimmed milk with organic whey and essential lipids. Below is a detailed breakdown of the functional ingredients included in this gentle formulation, along with the additives left out entirely:
-
Sourced exclusively from certified organic European herds yielding 100% A2 beta-casein, the same beta-casein type that predominates in goat milk.
-
Blended to adjust the whey-to-casein ratio to a predominantly whey profile.
-
Combines organic sunflower oil, rapeseed oil, and RSPO-certified sustainable organic palm oil.
-
Formulated with Schizochytrium oil for DHA and Mortierella alpina oil for ARA, meeting European standards for early brain and visual system development.
-
Uses 100% organic lactose as the main carbohydrate source in Stage 1, incorporating organic starch and maltodextrin in follow-on stages (Stages 2 and 3) to provide longer-lasting satiety.
-
Made only with milk from herds selected to produce A2 beta-casein, so no A1 protein variant is present at any stage.
-
Free from corn syrup solids, sucrose, and artificial sweeteners.
-
Made without artificial preservatives, chemical colorings, or synthetic flavorings.
-
Strictly adheres to European organic guidelines prohibiting modified ingredients at every level of farming and production.

Preparation & Storage Tips
Following correct preparation, measurement, and storage techniques ensures your baby receives safe, balanced nutrition in every bottle.
-
- Sanitize First: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water. Sterilize bottle components, nipples, and rings in boiling water for at least 3 minutes before each use.
- Boil and Cool Water: Boil fresh water and let it cool to about 122°F before mixing, to protect heat-sensitive vitamins.
- Measure Water Before Powder: Pour the exact required volume of cooled, boiled water into the bottle before adding powder, to keep the concentration accurate.
- Use Level Scoops Only: Use only the scoop provided in the box. Add the number of level, unpacked scoops shown on the feeding chart.
- Mix in Two Stages: Add half the water, add the powder, and shake well. Add the remaining water and shake again to clear any clumping.
- Test Before Feeding: Cool the bottle under running water or in an ice bath. A drop on your wrist should feel lukewarm, around 98.6°F. Skip the microwave, since it heats unevenly and can create hot spots.
-
- Unopened Tins: Store in a cool, dark, dry space, away from direct sunlight and temperature swings.
- Opened Powder: Seal the inner bag tightly and store in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate open powder. Use within 3 weeks of opening.
- Prepared Bottles: Use within 2 hours at room temperature, or within 1 hour once feeding has started. Unused, fully prepared bottles can be refrigerated below 41°F for up to 24 hours.
- Discard Leftovers: Always pour out formula left in the bottle after a feed, since saliva introduced during feeding encourages bacterial growth.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
About Holle Organic A2 Milk Formula
-
Holle A2 Formula is made from milk sourced exclusively from cows that produce only A2 beta-casein protein, rather than the natural mix of A1 and A2 protein found in standard cow milk formula. It follows the same Demeter biodynamic and EU organic standards as the rest of the Holle range.
-
Holle A2 features A2 beta-casein proteins exclusively, which break down differently in the gut than the combined A1 and A2 proteins in typical cow milk formulas. This specific protein profile can lead to easier digestion and reduced gas or fussiness for some infants.
If you’re deciding whether Holle A2 is better for your baby, keep in mind that the Holle A2 isn’t an automatic upgrade for every baby, but serves as a milder option for those sensitive to traditional cow milk. Discussing the switch with your pediatrician can help ensure it is the right step for your baby.

-
The main benefit reported by parents is a gentler digestion profile, since A2 protein does not release the same peptides during digestion that A1 protein can. It still provides complete nutrition, including DHA, ARA, and the full range of vitamins and minerals required under EU law.
-
If switching from another formula, most pediatricians recommend a gradual transition over several days rather than an abrupt change, to give a baby's digestive system time to adjust. Speak with your pediatrician about the right pace for your baby.
-
No. Holle A2 is still a cow milk formula and contains intact cow milk protein, so it’s not suitable for babies with a diagnosed cow milk protein allergy (CMPA). A2 refers to the type of beta-casein in the milk, not to the proteins that trigger CMPA. If your baby has a diagnosed allergy, work with your pediatrician to choose an appropriate specialized formula.
Choose Gentle Nutrition Built on a Single Protein
Holle A2 Formula pairs nine decades of biodynamic sourcing with a single-protein milk base many parents choose when standard cow formula doesn’t seem to sit well.
