Gentle Organic Nutrition for Babies From Birth to 6 Months
When your baby is ready for formula, you want nutrition that's as gentle and thoughtfully made as possible.
HiPP German Stage 1 Organic Combiotic is a nutritionally complete infant formula designed for babies from birth to 6 months. Made with certified EU organic milk, it combines high-quality ingredients with a unique blend of prebiotics, probiotics, DHA, ARA, and Metafolin® to support healthy growth and gentle digestion during your baby's earliest months.
Unlike PRE formula, HiPP Stage 1 includes lactose as the main carbohydrate with a small amount of organic starch, creating a creamier formula that many parents find helps keep babies satisfied between feeds.
Whether you're exclusively formula feeding, combination feeding, or transitioning from HiPP PRE, HiPP German Stage 1 offers a trusted European option made to support your baby's nutritional needs from day one.
Why Parents Choose HiPP German Stage 1
Organic Nutrition You Can Trust
HiPP has been producing organic baby food for generations and follows strict European organic standards.
Every box is made with carefully selected ingredients and undergoes rigorous quality testing to provide parents with confidence at every feed.
Parents choose HiPP because it offers:
Certified EU Organic ingredients
Premium German manufacturing
Carefully sourced organic milk
Strict quality control from farm to formula
Supports Happy Tummies
A baby's digestive system is still developing during the first months of life.
HiPP Stage 1 includes a carefully balanced combination of:
GOS prebiotic fibers
Natural probiotic cultures originally derived from human milk
Together, these ingredients help support the development of a healthy gut microbiome and balanced digestion.
Many parents choose HiPP Stage 1 for babies with mild everyday digestive sensitivity or when transitioning between breast and bottle.
Helps Keep Babies Satisfied
One feature that makes Stage 1 different from PRE is the addition of a small amount of organic starch.
Combined with lactose, this creates a slightly creamier formula that many parents find helps babies feel satisfied between feeds while still being gentle on developing digestive systems.
If you prefer a formula made with lactose only, HiPP German PRE may be a better fit.
Supports Healthy Growth & Development
HiPP Stage 1 provides complete infant nutrition with carefully selected nutrients that support healthy development during the first six months.
These include:
DHA (Omega-3) to support normal brain development
ARA (Omega-6) to support eye and nervous system development
Iron to contribute to normal cognitive development
Vitamins A, C, and D to support immune function, vision, and healthy bones
Metafolin®, an easily absorbed form of folate that supports normal cell growth and development
Balanced Organic Protein
HiPP uses high-quality organic milk proteins in carefully balanced amounts that align with infant nutrition recommendations.
This provides complete nutrition while supporting healthy growth during your baby's first months.
Is HiPP German Stage 1 Right for My Baby?
HiPP German Stage 1 may be a good choice if your baby is:
From birth to 6 months
Exclusively formula fed
Combination feeding with breast milk
Transitioning from HiPP PRE
Looking for a gentle organic formula
Ready for a slightly more filling formula than PRE
If your baby has allergies, medical conditions, or special nutritional needs, speak with your pediatrician before changing formula.

Preparation & Safety
Preparing formula correctly helps ensure your baby receives safe and complete nutrition.
How to Prepare HiPP Stage 1
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Sterilize bottles, nipples, and feeding equipment.
Boil fresh drinking water and allow it to cool to 40–50°C (104–122°F).
Pour the recommended amount of water into the bottle.
Add the exact number of level scoops according to the feeding guide on the package.
Shake well until the powder is completely dissolved.
Cool to approximately 37°C (98.6°F) before feeding and test the temperature first.
Storage
Store unopened boxes in a cool, dry place.
Use before the expiration date.
Once opened, use within 3 weeks.
Prepare bottles fresh whenever possible.
Unused prepared formula may be kept for up to 2 hours at room temperature if feeding has not started.
Once feeding begins, discard any remaining formula within 1 hour.
When Should My Baby Move to the Next Stage?
HiPP German Stage 1 is suitable from birth until around 6 months.
Around six months, when solid foods are introduced, many families transition to HiPP Stage 2 as part of a mixed diet of bottle feeding and complementary foods.
If your baby is thriving on Stage 1, your healthcare professional can help determine the best time to transition.
