Organic Formula for Newborns

Organic Newborn Baby Formula from HiPP

22 products

Choosing your baby's very first formula is a big decision. This collection brings together the best organic formula for newborns — Stage PRE and Stage 1 options for 0–6 months — from the most trusted European and Australian brands, with US duties prepaid and fast, fresh shipping. Every formula here is certified organic, free from corn syrup, and designed for a newborn's delicate digestive system.

Stage PRE vs Stage 1: which does my newborn need?

Both are suitable from birth. Stage PRE is the closest to breast milk, with lactose as the only carbohydrate — ideal for combination feeding or as a first formula. Stage 1 is also complete from day one and can be used through the first 6 months; some brands add starch for a slightly more satisfying feed. Either is a safe newborn starting point — the best choice is the one your baby tolerates well.

Best newborn formula by need

  • Most newborns: a European organic cow-milk Stage 1 or PRE (HiPP, Holle, Kendamil, Jovie, Lebenswert).
  • Sensitive or gassy newborns: a goat-milk formula with naturally gentler proteins, or HiPP HA / Comfort for diagnosed sensitivities.
  • Dairy-free or vegan families: Sprout Organic, the only vegan-certified infant formula for 0–12 months.

Looking for formula without seed oils or unwanted additives?

You're not alone — "organic baby formula without seed oils" is one of the fastest-growing parent searches. Kendamil (whole milk fat) and Sprout (coconut oil) lead here. All our formulas are made under EU and Australian regulations with strict contaminant and residue testing, no synthetic preservatives, and non-GMO ingredients — the standards parents searching for "non-toxic baby formula" actually want.

Preparing & feeding your newborn formula

Newborns feed little and often. Always follow the brand's scoop ratio exactly, use freshly boiled and cooled water, and prepare bottles safely — our formula preparation guide walks through every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about this collection and our general policies.

What is the best organic formula for a newborn?

For most newborns, a European organic cow-milk Stage 1 or Stage PRE (HiPP, Holle, Kendamil) is an excellent first choice — lactose-based, no corn syrup, with mandatory DHA. For sensitive newborns, consider a goat-milk formula or HiPP HA; for dairy-free or vegan families, Sprout Organic is suitable from birth.

What is the difference between Stage PRE and Stage 1 formula?

Both are complete and suitable from birth. Stage PRE is closest to breast milk and uses only lactose, making it ideal as a first or combination-feeding formula. Stage 1 is also for 0–6 months and may include a small amount of starch for a more filling feed.

Can I switch my newborn from breast milk to organic formula?

Yes. Many parents combination-feed or transition gradually. Stage PRE formulas are designed to be closest to breast milk. Introduce slowly and watch how your baby responds; check with your pediatrician with any concerns.

Which formula is best for constipated babies?

Palm-oil-free formulas (Kendamil, Sprout) tend to produce softer stools, and goat-milk formulas are often gentler on newborn tummies. HiPP Comfort is formulated specifically for constipation and colic.

How much formula does a newborn need?

Newborns typically take small, frequent feeds. Always follow the preparation instructions on your formula tin and your pediatrician's guidance — see our formula preparation guide for safe mixing and storage.
