Collection: Hipp Baby Formula Stage 2

HiPP formula stage 2 – tailored to your baby's needs while growing.

Your little one is not that little anymore when you compare it to when they were just born. Time goes fast, and your baby is beginning to notice that there is a fascinating world out there just waiting to be explored. In the coming months, your baby can reach a whole lot of new physical milestones, such as sitting up unsupported, crawling, standing up, and lots more. The HiPP stage 2 range is well-tailored to meet your little one's growth and development. HiPP formula stage 2 is suitable from 6 months onwards. Read on to find out what can make the composition of stage 2 suitable for your baby’s development in the coming months:

Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D

The HiPP formulas are tailored to your baby’s nutritional requirements at each respective age. The most significant difference between stages 1 and 2 is the need for iron and increased calcium needs.

Iron is a mineral that babies and children may need for good health and development. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen to all cells in the body. If you have insufficient iron, your body might not be able to carry enough oxygen to the organs and muscles. Because the natural iron deposits in your baby tend to deplete by six months of age, the increased level of iron present in HiPP formula stage 2 is helpful to keep up a healthy iron level. Calcium helps build strong bones. Both an increase in Iron and Calcium are good to support the physical milestones your little one is aiming to reach

Protein composition – casein and whey

The protein composition in the HiPP stage 1 Infant formula can contribute to the prevention of childhood obesity as it is in line with the protein found in breastmilk, 40% casein, and 60% whey. According to experts and studies, this protein composition closely aligns with the physiological needs of infants younger than 6 months. Once your little one starts to become more active, the protein intake also increases. This is when your baby reaches the age of 6 months or older.

Hipp formula stage 2 has a protein mix of 60% casein and 40% whey. This makes the formula more filling for babies, even though they are getting the same number of ounces per bottle. Your baby is most likely moving more, so this extra energy is very welcome and supports physiological development.

Some of the other reasons why we love HiPP stage 2:

• Organic skim milk
• No gluten
• No maltodextrin
• Prebiotics and probiotics
• Omega 3 and 6
• DHA
• Essential vitamins and nutrients
• No synthetic preservatives or nutrients
• Organic lactic acid bacteria cultures (similar to breast milk)
• Certified organic to European standards (which are stricter than in the US)
• GMO-free

Difference between HiPP formula stage 2 - Dutch & German

We offer two HiPP formula stage 2, the Dutch and the German versions. The differences between these two formulas across the most important ingredients are:

Two ingredients are present in the German formula that are not in the Dutch version, namely soy and starch. The absence of these two ingredients in the HiPP stage 2 Dutch range makes this, for many parents, the more favorable option between the two.

When can you use HiPP stage 2?

You can begin feeding your baby HiPP formula stage 2 as soon as they turn 6 months of age. When you have a very active baby at an early age and they are often hungry, it is also an option to start giving your baby stage 2 food at an earlier stage to keep them satisfied and give them more energy. It is so important to realize that each baby is unique.
