Finding the right formula can be a challenge. To help find the perfect formula for your little one, start with our Baby Formula Comparison Chart. We offer formulas for all ages, from newborn to toddlerhood, covering Stages Pre & 1 (Birth to 6 months), 2 (6+ months), 3 (10+ months), and Stage 4 (12+ months). Our Formula range includes Cow, Goat, Hypoallergenic, Formulas for Sensitive Tummies, and Vegetarian options. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact our dedicated customer support. We’re here to help!

Please view our full instructions on how to prepare a formula bottle. 

In order to kill harmful bacteria that may be in the water we recommend boiling the water that you will use during formula preparation. Leave the water to cool to the recommended temperature before adding the powder. Please always read the preparation instructions relevant to your specific formula.

To ensure correct proportions, every one of our formulas comes with a manufacturer-provided scoop, which can be found directly in the box outside of the silver packaging (for formulas in boxes) or is loose somewhere inside the can (for formulas in tin containers). The Dutch Hipp Formulas have a scoop buried in the top part of the formula. To find it you have to search a little bit which is not ideal, but it’s how the formula is packaged by the manufacturer. The best way to find it is to use a dry, sterilized spoon to dig the scoop out of the formula.

We guarantee that all of our formulas have at least six months before the expiration date. We follow the “first in, first out” model when receiving inventory and sending out products. Due to the high volume of daily orders, we have to re-stock with fresh batches of baby formula multiple times per week. This ensures that our products won’t stay in our warehouse for long and are practically almost shipped in real-time after the manufacturers have produced the formula. The expiration date can be found on the bottom of each can or box. The dates are noted down in European formation, thus day/month/year.

Yes, many parents need to supplement breast milk with formula. Whether it is because of lifestyle decisions or medical reasons, it’s very common to supplement breast milk with formula. You can supplement breast milk with all our formula products.

We would suggest being very careful with this. As far as our knowledge goes, we haven’t heard of any European manufacturers who would recommend giving toddler formula to an infant. Using toddler formulas for infants is an off-label use of the product. Organic Formula Shop will always recommend buying genuine baby formula products, none of which would recommend giving toddler formula to younger babies.

Each of our formulas is suitable for use with the Baby Brezza machines. Unfortunately, we are unable to advise about particular settings for the device, but you can use the Settings Finder on their website to find the exact settings to use for your formula.

Hipp, Kendamil and Holle use goat’s milk in their formulas due to its growing popularity as a nutritious and often more digestible alternative to cow’s milk. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved goat’s milk as a suitable protein source for healthy infants. Its unique composition, including smaller fat molecules and a different protein structure, may make it easier for some babies to digest, particularly those with sensitivity to cow’s milk. Click here for our baby formula comparison chart to help you understand the differences between our formulas.

Goats are naturally selective foragers, which can contribute to the quality of their milk. While goat’s milk-based formula may be tolerated by some children with cow’s milk protein intolerance, it’s not suitable for those with a confirmed cow’s milk protein allergy, as the proteins in both milks share similarities. Always consult a pediatrician before choosing a goat’s milk-based formula if you suspect your baby has a cow’s milk protein allergy.

Babies need healthy food that tastes great and doesn’t contain unwanted ingredients. Parents know they can rely on HiPP for a product range that is developed to the best principles of nutrition science; meals exactly suited for your baby’s age and the most stringent organic quality checks. read more..

The Holle name is backed by almost a century-long tradition of organic goodness. Holle holds itself to a high standard with its Demeter certification and is a market leader in sourcing organic ingredients from biodynamic farms. Read more..

Once you have decided that only European organic formulas will do, it is time to choose the one that is best for your baby. Read more..

Important to know is that Lebenswert is part of the Holle Family. It was introduced about ten years ago to give parents a less costly alternative to organic and high-quality baby formula. Holle is an established and respected manufacturer with almost 90 years of experience in the baby food industry. Their Lebenswert brand is also held to high standards, making their products widely regarded as some of the best formulas.
Lebenswert formula was designed to offer parents a more budget-friendly organic formula. That being said, Lebenswert makes no compromises when it comes to providing your little one with a formula made according to high European organic standards with premium ingredients.
The Bioland certification of all Lebenswert ingredients means that the formula is derived from farms that abide by high standards of farming practices. Bioland certification is a guarantee of purity and strict farming practices meaning:
- Only using untreated seeds
- Using preventive measures to protect plants
- Keeping livestock according to breed and species
- Using natural compost in place of chemical or synthetic agents
- Hormones are prohibited, and antibiotics are only permitted when necessary for animal health
Because the Lebenswert brand avoids peanuts, soy, and wheat ingredients, it’s much less likely to cause allergic reactions than some brands that get ingredients from those sources.
If you’re looking for a pure, organic baby formula that is reasonably priced, our Lebenswert formulas stage 1, 2 and 3 are a great choice!

Kendamil, a family-owned British company, has been setting new standards in baby nutrition for over 60 years. Read more..

Yes we have! Vegetarian baby formulas are made to meet your baby's unique dietary needs while adhering to vegetarian principles. These formulas use plant-based DHA sources, such as algae oil, instead of fish-based alternatives, providing a nutritious and sustainable option for healthy development. Organic Formula Shop proudly offers a range of vegetarian options made with cow's milk and goat's milk from premium EU brands like HiPP, Kendamil, and Holle. These high-quality formulas ensure the best start for your baby's first years!

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid crucial for infant brain and eye development. Naturally found in breast milk, it supports cognitive and visual health. Since February 22, 2020, EU regulations mandate that all infant and follow-on formulas contain DHA at levels of 20–50 mg per 100 kcal to ensure optimal nutrition for babies.

Maltodextrin is a plant-based sweetener. The primary characteristics of maltodextrin is its high solubility, easy and rapid digestibility and low sweetness. These characteristics work well in baby formula. High solubility means that the powdered formula will dissolve quickly and smoothly, which makes the formula easier for a baby to digest. Check our Blog-Post here about Maltodextrin.

You’ll probably be in for a big (unpleasant) surprise if you read the ingredients in baby formulas available at your local US grocery store. All kinds of substances make their way into a baby formula that shouldn’t ever be there. In the United States, many baby formulas can be considered "organic baby formula." even if they contain highly processed sugars, corn syrup, and synthetic preservatives. This is because Europe's organic certification is far more challenging to obtain than comparable labeled organic certifications in the US. If you have any doubt, try tasting it, and you will immediately smell and taste the difference. That’s why we only offer the world’s best organic infant formulas from Europe for a healthy start in life!

To be short: follow your heart. There’s no correct answer here; only you know what’s best for you and your baby. Switch to formula whenever you feel ready, keeping in mind that you can transition slowly and use formula as a supplement to breast milk for as long as you’d like. Please note: Before deciding to bottle-feed, we advise consulting your pediatrician.

Most parents generally switch from Stage 1 to Stage 2 when their little one is around six months old. It's a rough age guideline, but it means that your baby is ready for more nutrients. The general taste should remain the same, but the formula includes more vitamins and minerals for your baby's higher weight. For example, Stage 2  formulas contain increased levels of omega-3 and iron. However, as long as your baby gets iron and nutrition from other sources like solid foods, you can stay on Pre or Stage 1 for longer. It's always best to consult your pediatrician to find the right balance for you.

Check out our blog "Why are Stages used in European Baby Formula?" for more information!

As your baby grows, their nutritional needs evolve. The European Union (EU) has strict regulations regarding the composition and labeling of baby formula, and all baby formula sold in the EU must meet these regulations. One of the key aspects of European baby formula is the division into different stages to reflect the changing nutritional needs of babies as they grow from newborns to toddlers.

Trusted brands like HiPP and Holle design formulas tailored to each developmental stage to support your baby’s growth and health. To ensure optimal nutrition, choose the formula stage that matches your baby’s age:

• Stage PRE & 1 (Birth to 6 months): Infant Designed for newborns, typically containing no starch for easier digestion and flexibility with frequent feedings, such as on a 3-hour schedule. Note that “PRE” does not refer to premature or preterm infants.
• Stage 2 (6+ months): Follow-On Formula with adjusted whey and casein ratios, plus increased iron and satiating ingredients like starch to support growth and weaning.
• Stage 3 (10+ months): Formulated for toddlers, with higher iron and nutrients to complement a mixed diet as solid foods become more prominent.
• Stage 4 (12+ months): Supports older toddlers with a balance of nutrients tailored to complement a diverse solid food diet.
  

Trusted brands like HiPP, Kendamil and Holle have developed formulas tailored to each developmental stage to support your baby’s growth and health.

If your baby has an adverse reaction to a formula you’ve purchased from us, we will do everything we can to help you find the right option for your little one.

There is a meager chance that orders shipped outside the European Union may be subject to an inspection or additional fees charged by the local customs department. US-customers ordering formula valued at $1,000, or less, should not expect to pay any Customs fees. Our orders are shipped directly from the European Union and may still be subject to local import taxes, duties, and fees depending on the country you are importing into. Organic Formula Shop has no control over these charges, nor can Organic Formula Shop predict what they may be. Any import-related fees are the customer's responsibility, and Organic Formula Shop is, unfortunately, unable to help with this.

We’re sorry that customs are delaying your package, and we understand the urgency. Please reach out to our dedicated customer support team, and we will be happy to assist you in trying to locate your package and work with you to sort out a resolution.

Our dedicated team of professionals researched every infant formula available in Europe, spoken to several nutrition experts, taste-tested, and more so that you don't have to.

Top European baby formulas—like the brands HiPP and Holle—are widely known to be the highest-quality baby formulas available in the world. These brands use only organic skimmed milk (cow and goat), lactose, and organic whey for carbs sources, not the corn syrup, glucose syrup solids, or sugar you’ll find in most other brands in the US. They also contain essential prebiotics and probiotics, non-synthetic nutrients, and more. Furthermore, the grass-fed cows used for the skimmed milk have not received hormone or antibiotic treatments that could be potentially dangerous to your little ones. Our Holle formulas are Demeter-certified Organic. This means the environment is being taken care of as well as the cows - it's like “Next-Level-Organic” ;).

At Organic Formula Shop, we strive to offer the best prices for HiPP, Holle, and Lebenswert formulas online. By working as efficiently as possible, we can reduce the overall costs, and in return, we can offer our customers the best prices on the market every day again. The best price can always be found by choosing the large (18, 24, or 25 units) size multipacks.

In our day-to-day business, we work hard for a healthy lifestyle for newborns. They are our future! With that in mind, we’re working our way toward delivering a more sustainable future, including a goal of reducing our operation's carbon footprint as much as possible as quickly as possible. We’re already doing this by:
- Using green electricity at our office and warehouses
- Our team uses bicycles and public transport as much as possible
- We have reduced our business trips by 40% by going even more digital
- We drink (lots) of coffee from our OFS mugs ;). No plastic cups!
- Using green Webhosting for our website
- The Paper and carton boxes we use are from recycled materials
- The couriers we use are all working on reducing their footprint by constantly modernizing their fleet.

Tip: You can do your part by ordering in bulk as much as possible. This reduces
the number of orders we have to ship, AND it saves you money ;)

Organic Formula Shop is a Boutique-reseller where our formula buying parents and quality come first. Here are a few examples of how we ensure that the best recipes get safely to you and your little one:

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for your baby. The composition of breast milk always offers your baby the ideal combination of nutrients and good protection against allergies and diseases. read more 

You can usually expect expiration dates 6 to 12 months into the future. We follow the “first in, first out” model when receiving inventory and sending out products, so formula boxes don’t remain in our warehouse for long. Please keep in mind that in Europe, the day and month are reversed relative to the US numeric date format.  For example, October 10, 2023, would be stamped on the bottom of your formula box as 05/10/2020.  The European date format is always Day / Month / Year and does not follow the American convention of putting the month first.

The safety of our website and ordering process is one of our main priorities!
All our payments are SSL (Secure Socket Layer) secured. The easiest way to understand a Secure Socket Layer is to think of it as a mechanism that lets you safely send data between websites and servers to which they are connected. The data is sent as encrypted information. An SSL certificate guarantees encryption and security.

To ensure we can offer our products for the most competitive prices on the market we only sell online. This way we can keep our costs and overhead low.

We do our best to update our product photos as soon as new designs are released. But due to the high volumes of fresh baby formula in and out of our warehouse, we can't always guarantee the packaging design will exactly match the packshots used on our product page. What we can guarantee is that you will receive the products with the longest expiration dates and the freshest inventory direct from the European manufacturers. We do not accept refund requests due to differences in packaging.

Unfortunately, the formulas we sell are not FDA-approved; this means it’s not allowed to sell baby formula manufactured in the European Union (EU) at your local grocery store. Companies like HiPP, Holle, and Lebenswert have set the benchmark for the world’s best organic baby formulas and are all certified by the European Union. These certifications are known to be much stricter than the ones set by the FDA.
However, its Organic Formula Shop’s mission is to maximize your child’s health by making Premium European Organic Formula accessible in the US.

We know that finding the right formula for your little one can be quite a challenge. When you try a new formula, we recommend a transition period of 7 to 14 days to allow your baby’s digestive system to adjust to the new product. If you and your baby are starting with formula, we recommend you begin with a smaller order. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any refunds due to babies not liking the selected formula, including if your baby has a medical reason for not being able to use the formula. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. To ensure that a formula will be compatible with your baby, we recommend you undertake thorough research before making any baby formula purchase. Not sure which formula to choose?
Please check our baby formula comparison chart to help you understand the differences between our offered formulas. 

Occasionally we will release special discount codes directly to our email subscribers and/or on affiliated websites. Because we already offer the most competitive prices on the market we don’t see the use of using additional discount vouchers. We do not work with any voucher code sites, and if you find a voucher code on a site other than ours, you can assume it is a fake code. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter email on our homepage to be the first to learn about new coupon codes!

We do not offer a formula Subscription. Why? Years of experience have taught us that many parents with newborns often forget to edit or cancel their subscriptions on time. We totally get that because parents are entirely focused on their little ones, who aren’t exactly the quietest bunch when they’re young and hungry ;). Not timely editing or canceling a subscription often caused unpleasant situations for both parties, so we decided to stop offering formula subscriptions and give the best prices anyways.
Subscription or not!
