The stages used in European baby formula

In more and more North American households, European formula is becoming normal. Parents seek the best for their baby and want to know what they are giving to their precious little one. Products with high organic production standards and ingredients are becoming the norm.

Parents are moving away from American formulas that often have complicated ingredients lists and are filled with added sugars, soy, and chemicals. European brands such as HiPP and Holle follow the European Union’s strict guidelines and even go beyond these regulations with the very best dynamic farming and gentle animal practices. They are known for the complete organic nutrition they provide for your baby.

Another benefit, besides the used organic ingredients, is the labeling for ages. The composition of each of the formulas is developed to meet and support your baby’s development and growth. We will explain the different stages European formulas use below:
