Holle Bio Stage 1 – Best Organic Formula for Breastfed Babies
Holle Bio Stage 1 is a top-quality Holle formula for infants that’s great for babies from birth to six months of age. Holle stage 1 organic formula can be used on its own as a complete source of nutrition, or as the ideal supplement to breast milk at any time instead of Holle Bio Stage PRE or another baby formula. Ideal for feeding in a bottle, but also for preparing porridges. The breast milk-like formulation of Holle formula stage 1 makes it easy to digest and helps with your little one’s digestive system. Holle formula for infants will support your baby’s natural digestion. After the 6th month, the manufacturer Holle recommends Holle Bio Stage 2 in combination with baby porridges.
Holle stage 1, the best organic formula for breastfed babies is made from 99% organically grown ingredients. The milk used in this formula comes from cows raised on biodynamic (Demeter certified) farms in caring and appropriate environments. Demeter certification is the highest organic certification in Europe available. Assuring completely chemical-free agriculture and high standards of animal welfare. 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!
All farms strictly adhere to EU organic regulations and, moreover, to the stringent international Demeter regulations. Grazing cows on lush biodynamic fields and pastures is the reason for the superior quality of the milk used in this premium baby formula. Demeter farmers avoid the painful dehorning of cows.
Other important ingredients include organic vegetable oils which provide essential fatty acids for your baby. Organic starch and maltodextrin derived from corn to increase the caloric value, make the organic infant formula creamy and filling. The remaining 1% of ingredients are vitamins and minerals which are necessary for your baby’s development and are required by EU regulations. Every Holle formula is gluten-free. No artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Choosing a formula for your baby is one of the most important decisions you can make in the early months of your baby’s life. Using the right formula, one that is as close to healthy breast milk as possible is vital. While there are many choices available to parents to feed their baby, this is one of the best. This is the favorite formula of loving parents around the world.

* 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 1 Organic Infant Milk Formula 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.

My newborn absolutely loves this formula. In comparison to a popular north american formula he was on initially, Holle has reduced the discomfort and has resulted in a healthy and happy baby.

Arrived very quickly and baby didn't hate it!
After my baby refused all formula on the market, I search and searched online to find any alternatives to supplement when I need it. Enter Holle. Someone on one of those mom forums suggested Holipp as a trusted supplier especially if you live in Canada, I'm so very glad I found them, the formula was at my door (in Ottawa/ Gatineau Region) within 2 days of ordering. My baby still doesn't love it, but at least I can sneak it here and there in purrés, and the quality is really good compared to North America-made formula.
