Cow's Milk - Baby Formula - Grow Organic Baby

55 products

EU produced organic cow milk formula is widely regarded as the best quality formula available due to its strict regulations, superior ingredients, and commitment to sustainability. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) enforces rigorous standards that surpass U.S. FDA guidelines, ensuring formulas are free from harmful additives, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Unlike many U.S. formulas, European brands avoid synthetic additives such as artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and unnecessary processing agents. They also use organic lactose as the primary carbohydrate, closely mimicking breast milk for optimal digestion. Additionally, EU formulas are designed in stages, adjusting nutrient levels to match a baby’s developmental needs, ensuring proper growth and digestion at every phase.

European organic formulas also emphasize clean, wholesome nutrition, avoiding soy and corn syrup, which are commonly found in U.S. formulas. This commitment to purity makes them a trusted choice for parents seeking the best for their babies.

I'm concerned about allergies, can I feed my baby the brands you carry?

If at any time you are concerned about an allergic reaction to any organic baby formula or food product, please consult your child's healthcare provider for the best advise regarding the nutrition for your little one. Babies digestive systems are very sensitive so it's recommended that you feel comfortable with the choices you make for their dietary needs. 

All our baby formula and food brands are strictly regulated, safe and trusted.

Do I have to move up the stages based on age?

Higher stages of formula contain the necessary proteins and iron levels an older baby may need. 

We always advise parents to choose the formula that corresponds to your baby's age to ensure that they are getting all of the formula benefits.

It does not have to be exact to the day, you can wait until your current supply is finished before moving forward. This is normal and is fine for up to several weeks or even a month. 

European formulas are designed in stages to align with a baby’s changing nutritional needs as they grow. The stages adjust levels of essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin D to support healthy development.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, EU formulas ensure babies receive the right balance of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates tailored to each stage of growth. 

Stage PRE Infant Formula

Designed for infants from 0 to 6 months, it closely resembles Stage 1 formula in composition. Despite the stage name it is not intended for premature babies. The key distinction with Stage 1 is that Stage PRE does not contain starch, making it easier for newborns to digest. This ensures a gentle transition for infants while providing essential nutrients tailored to their early developmental needs. 

Stage 1 Infant Formula

Designed to provide essential nutrition from birth, serving as either a breastfeeding supplement or full alternative.

This formula stage is carefully designed to support healthy growth and development, ensuring infants receive a gentle, well-tolerated source of essential nutrients. Some Stage 1 formulas may also contain starch or maltodextrin to enhance energy content, making it a nutritionally complete choice for early infancy.

Stage 2 Infant Formula

Designed for babies 6 months and older, providing enhanced iron levels, vitamin D and calcium to support physical growth and strengthen bones and muscles, which is crucial as babies develop their motor skills at this age.

Higher casein content makes it more filling than earlier stages, helping babies feel satisfied between feedings. With a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals, Stage 2 ensures continued healthy development while transitioning toward a more diverse diet that includes solids.

Stage 3 Follow On Formula

Designed for babies 10 months and older, it includes higher levels of iron, calcium, and vitamin D to support bone strength, muscle growth, and energy needs for active toddlers.

These formulas also contain Omega-3 (ALA) and Omega-6 fatty acids, crucial for brain, eye, and nervous system development. While most brands categorize Stage 3 for 10+ months, some variations exist where it is 12+ months.

Stage 4 Toddler Formula

For children 12 months and older, providing advanced nutrition beyond earlier stages. It provides higher levels of iron, calcium, and vitamin D, essential for bone strength, muscle function, and sustained energy as toddlers become more active.

This formula also includes Omega-3 (ALA) and Omega-6 fatty acids, which play a crucial role in brain, eye, and nervous system development. While most brands introduce Stage 4 at 12+ months, some variations exist where it is 24+ months.

What is the HiPP Company background?

HiPP International is a pioneer in organic farming and infant nutrition, recognized as the largest processor of organic-biological raw materials worldwide.

The company’s origins date back to the late 19th century, when Joseph Hipp, a baker, created a rusk-based flour to help his wife nourish their twins. His nutritious innovation gained popularity, leading to the production of infant food that remained in the German market until the 1970s.

Joseph’s son, Georg Hipp, expanded the family business into infant nutrition, launching baby food products in the 1950s. HiPP transitioned from tins to hygienically safer jars in 1959/60, rapidly expanding its product range to include juices, junior meals, and whole-grain fruit blends.

HiPP embraced organic farming early on, inspired by the Swiss pioneer Dr. Hans Müller. The company set the standard for chemical-free agriculture, cultivating fruits and vegetables on natural soils. Claus Hipp, a key figure in HiPP’s growth, traveled extensively to promote organic farming, building a vast network of over 8,000 organic farms that supply HiPP with ingredients today.

What is the difference between HiPP Dutch, German and UK formula?

HiPP Dutch is the most popular of the HiPP range. The table below compares the differences between the HiPP Dutch, German and UK formulas.

HiPP Dutch contains prebiotics, probiotics, naturally sourced folate derived from Metafolin for better bioavailability and does not contain starch or soy lecithin in any stages.

HiPP German contains prebiotics, probiotics, naturally sourced folate derived from Metafolin for better bioavailability, however it does contain starch (except PRE and Stage 2 no-starch) and soy lecithin in stage 2 and 3.

HiPP UK contains prebiotics, however not probiotics, has folate sourced synthetically from folic acid making it less bioavailable and does not contain starch or soy lecithin in any stages.

In summary HiPP Dutch has the superior ingredients and is better for babies with sensitive tummies as it digests better, and has a slightly less sweet taste which babies enjoy.
