Holle Bio Stage PRE – Best Organic Baby Formula Closest to Breastmilk
Holle Bio Stage PRE organic infant formula is intended for use from birth onward or to supplement breastfeeding in the initial months.

Holle formula for newborns contains all the necessary nutrients that your little one needs during the first six months of life. Holle bio PRE anfangsmilch is the safest formula for newborns that can be fed from birth as the sole source of nutrition until the introduction of further food. Holle stage PRE formula can also be given during the mixed diet phase (typically from the 4th or 5th month onward, depending on the recommendation of your pediatrician).
Manufactured and packaged in Germany, this formula is completely free from synthetic nutrients and artificial preservatives, coloring, and flavors. You won’t find any gluten, starch, maltodextrin, sucrose, corn syrup, or soy in this formula. Conventional starting formulas have vegetable oils as the source of fat. In Holle PRE starting milk, the vegetable fat content is partially replaced by high-quality Demeter milk fat. The combination of plant and milk fat provides an optimal fat composition for the initial months of life. Additionally, the only carbohydrate utilized in Holle PRE starting milk is based on lactose (milk sugar) as opposed to maltodextrin or other starches that make it the best organic baby formula closest to breastmilk.
The breast milk-like formulation of Holle PRE infant formula makes it easy to digest and supports your little one’s digestive system. This cow milk formula contains essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that are important for the development of your baby’s health. Holle PRE infant formula will support your baby’s natural digestion.
Holle PRE formula is based on milk from cows raised on biodynamic farms in Germany that are Demeter certified. The Demeter standard is truly the gold standard in terms of animal welfare and biodynamics. It is the highest organic certification in Europe available. Assuring completely chemical-free agriculture and high standards of animal welfare and no dehorning of cows. Demeter certification also means growing plants and raising cows using a biodynamic approach, which is also good for our environment. So, it helps to save the planet too!

Using the right formula, one that is as close to healthy breast milk as possible is vital. Choosing Holle formula for your infant is one of the best ways to ensure that your baby’s body gets everything it needs to grow big and strong, without anything added that is not needed.

* 1 level measuring spoon = 4.4 g The stated amounts of drinking and meals per day are only guidelines. Indiviual deviations are safe and all natural. 100 ml ready-to-drink food is made of 13.2 g Holle Bio Stage PRE Organic Infant Starter Milk and 90 ml boiled water. A pack yields about 30 meals of 100 ml of drinking volume (standard recipe).
Prepare infant formula safely
Powdered infant formulae are low-germ, but not sterile. That means that they might contain a very marginal amount of unfavourable germs. To prevent these germs from proliferating in the ready-to-drink formula, it is important to ensure the safe preparation and safe handling of the formula.
Basic rules of hygiene
Clean the work surface thoroughly and use soap and warm, running water to wash your hands thoroughly.
Do not prepare infant formula and raw foodstuffs next to one another at the same time.
Prepare formula from scratch for each meal and feed it immediately.
Discard any leftovers and do not use them for the next meal. Do not store already prepared formula in the refrigerator.
Keeping already prepared formulae warm by using a bottle warmer or a thermos flask must be avoided at all costs.
Clean bottle, teat and ring thoroughly immediately after the feeding.
It is advisable to boil out rubber teats/latex teats from time to time (not necessary for silicone teats).
Step by step to the ready-to-drink bottle feed
Boil fresh drinking water and leave it to cool to approx. 40 - 50 °C*.
Scalding, loss of nutrients and damage to any probiotic bacteria that may have been supplemented will be avoided at these temperatures.
Pour the required amount of boiled water into the feeding bottle.
Fill the measuring spoon loosely and level excessive powder to avoid overdosing. Put the recommended amount of powder into the feeding bottle.
Close the feeding bottle and shake till the powder has dissolved completely.
Allow the prepared formula to cool down to drinking temperature (approximately 37 °C) as quickly as possible. Check temperature.
Tip: A good way to test the temperature is to drip a few drops of formula onto the inside of your wrist: the milk should feel warm but not hot.
* 40 – 50 °C is reached when the bottle is not too hot to be touched and the water does not steam any longer.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
Keep strictly to the stated amount of powder and water according to the dosage table.
This is important for the composition of nutrients and the digestibility of the formula.
Only use the measuring spoon enclosed in the packaging.
Do not warm up the formula in the microwave oven (danger of scalding).
Water quality
Suitable
– fresh drinking water from the tap* – let the water run from the tap until the water runs cold For reasons of food safety it is best to use boiled water during your infant‘s first months of life.
Alternatives: – bottled still water that is ´suitable for preparing infant formula‘ – baby spring water (for example HiPP Baby Spring Water)
*Use only if the water quality has been confi rmed as harmless.
Unsuitable
Water: – from lead pipes – from areas that have an increased amount of uranium (>10 μg/l) – with an increased amount of nitrate (>50 mg/l) – from untested domestic wells – from water filters – from hot water boilers
If in doubt, parents should contact the local waterworks for information about the water quality or have a water sample analysed.
Tip when you are out and about
Take boiled water in a clean and closed thermos flask and already portioned milk powder with you in a clean and dry feeding bottle.
If required, prepare the formula freshly and feed it immediately. Alternatively:offer ready-to-drink infant formulae that can also be offered cold (at room temperature)
Notice on safety
Each infant formula has a note regarding correct preparation, storage and disposal:
Please follow the instructions for use carefully when preparing infant formulae. Incorrect preparation or keeping the prepared bottle for a longer period of time can lead to health impairments, for example, due to undesired bacterial growth. Please prepare the formula from scratch before every meal and feed it immediately. Do not re-use leftovers. Clean bottle, teat and ring thoroughly after each meal.

I switched from breastfeeding to formula specifically for “night feeding” ONLY. And My son did not have gas, nor constipation. Formula tastes great and he is not making “disgusted” faces when drinking it (unlike with other formulas) .
It is also very easy to mix ( unlike other formulas , that has plenty of lumps and you have to shake it for a very long time in order to mix it properly) . So I highly recommend this one! The list of ingredients is great and gives piece of mind that this formula has no soy or oils or syrups, that has negative impact on our little one’s health in a long term. So 5 stars!!!

So much better
Our newborn was having terrible reactions to Enfamil products (we tried 3 different types on the advice of our dr.) European formula is so much better. Holipp shipped overnight to us and we’ve been happy ever since.
