Holle Bio Stage 3 Organic Follow-On Formula

Holle Organic Cow Formula –Stage 3 (600g)

Age: 10+ Months

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Holle Cow preparation instructions

First wash your hands and clean the bottle, the teat and the ring thoroughly. Holle uses a two step water method, so the water goes in twice. Follow the steps in the picture above.

  1. Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to about 50 °C (122 °F).
  2. Pour half the water into the bottle. See the feeding chart below for the full amount.
  3. Add 1 level scoop of 4.4 g for every 30 ml (1 fl oz) of the full water amount. Fill the scoop loosely and level it off with the back of a clean knife. Use only the 4.4 g scoop that came in this box, because scoop weights differ between brands and between stages.
  4. Close the bottle and shake vigorously.
  5. Add the rest of the water and shake well again.
  6. Let it cool to drinking temperature, about 37 °C (98 °F). Test a drop on the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm, not hot. Now it is ready.

Half the water first is what stops the powder clumping. Adding all the water at once still works, but you will be shaking a lot longer.

This is a follow-on milk from the 10th month, and it suits your child up to the end of the third year, alongside a family diet that is getting more varied. You can move to it from breastfeeding, from Holle Bio Stage 2, or from any other cow milk formula.

What makes Holle Bio different

  • Demeter milk. The skimmed milk is biodynamic, and Demeter makes up 68 percent of the box by weight. That is a stricter standard than EU organic on its own.
  • Algae DHA, not fish oil. The DHA comes from the microalga Schizochytrium, which is why this formula is suitable for vegetarians. Most other European formulas use fish oil.
  • German organic milk, certified DE-ÖKO-001, with the EU organic leaf and the Demeter mark.

Important notes

  • Make each bottle fresh just before the feed and give it straight away. Never reuse milk your child has left.
  • Stick to the mixing ratio exactly. Too much or too little powder changes the nutrition your child gets.
  • Never warm a bottle in the microwave. It heats unevenly and can scald your child's mouth.
  • Store the box in a cool, dry place and use it within the time on the pack once opened.
  • The date is on the box and is written DD/MM/YYYY. So 05/09/2027 means 5 September 2027, not 9 May.
  • Do not let your child suck on the bottle for long periods. Frequent or long contact between the teeth and drinks that contain carbohydrate can cause tooth decay, so brush from the first tooth.
  • The amounts below are a guide. Your child does not have to finish the bottle. Small differences from day to day are completely normal.

Feeding chart

Always 1 level scoop of 4.4 g per 30 ml (1 fl oz) of water. This 600 g (21.2 oz) box makes approx. 45 bottles of 100 ml. Treat that as a guide, the exact number depends on how you level each scoop and on a little spillage.

There are no age rows on this chart, only bottle sizes, because from the 10th month most of what your child eats is family food. One to two bottles a day is the guide for the whole range, and it is far fewer than at Stage 1 or 2 for that reason.
