Description
HiPP Dutch Stage 1 Bio Combiotik is an organic infant formula for newborns and babies from birth to 6 months. It can be used as the sole source of nutrition or together with breastfeeding. Little ones love the bottle for its mild taste. This unique cow milk formula is made in Germany for the Dutch market and comes in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can.
Parents choose this range for the COMBIOTIK blend, the clean lactose-only recipe, and that “this just works” feeling after a hard search through other (US) formulas. As a result, the HiPP Dutch Cow COMBIOTIK range is our store's most popular formula range.

What Makes This Formula Special
HiPP Dutch Stage 1 is a COMBIOTIK formula. That means natural lactic acid cultures (Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT5716) and GOS prebiotics work together to support digestion. Metafolin® uses calcium-L-methylfolate, the bioactive form of folate that mimics the folate found in breast milk. DHA and ARA support brain and eyesight. Lactose is the only carbohydrate. There is no maltodextrin, added sugar, corn syrup, or GMOs.
Choline (25 mg), inositol (4.2 mg), and L-carnitine (1.8 mg) per 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) round out this from-birth recipe. Energy is 66 kcal per 100 ml. The scoop is 4.3 g (0.15 oz) per 30 ml of water. One 800 g can makes about 62 bottles of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz).
Compared with HiPP German Bio Cow Stage 1: Both are organic COMBIOTIK milks from birth. German Stage 1 contains organic starch, so it is creamier and more filling. Prefer no starch? HiPP Dutch Stage 1 is the lactose-only Dutch option in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can and is usually the better value per gram.
Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
EU Organic (DE-ÖKO-001) is the legal farm standard: organic feed, no GMOs, and EU animal-welfare rules. The HiPP Bio seal goes beyond that. It means extra lab checks for purity. HiPP tests far more residues than the law requires and packs a batch only if it meets HiPP’s tighter limits. That is why every batch goes through up to 260 safety checks, from the raw materials to the finished can, and why HiPP’s lab can test more than 1,200 parameters.
This formula is made in a climate-neutral HiPP plant. Animal welfare matters here too: the cows used for this milk are raised under EU organic rules and spend as much time as possible outdoors, grazing on pasture.
EU baby formula follows strict European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rules, including required DHA, staged iron by age, and no corn syrup solids. Those rules are a higher bar than FDA formula standards and apply to all EU formulas we carry. Read more in our EU vs US formula guide.
Why Parents Trust HiPP Dutch Stage 1
This is the formula so many American parents come back to. Families switch from US brands and notice less spit-up, easier mixing, and a baby who sleeps more soundly. One parent wrote that their baby “immediately lowered his spit-ups and fussiness.” Another raised both of her kids on this formula, from her first daughter to her newborn.
Coming from birth? Start with HiPP Dutch Stage 1 until 6 months, then switch to HiPP Dutch Stage 2. From around 10 months, HiPP Dutch Stage 3 continues the same COMBIOTIK blend. Need a sensitivity option? See HiPP Comfort.

How to make a bottle

Preparation for HiPP powdered formulas:
HiPP Dutch Stage 1 uses a one-step mixing method.
- Wash your hands thoroughly. Sterilize the bottle, teat, and ring by boiling in water for 10 minutes.
- Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool. Do not pour boiling water directly onto the powder, as this may damage the natural probiotic cultures.
- Pour the required amount of cooled water into the sterilized bottle (see feeding chart for amounts).
- Fill the measuring scoop loosely and level it off. Add the recommended number of scoops to the bottle. Scoop size: 4.3g (one scoop per 30ml of water). Use only the scoop included in this can.
- Close the bottle and shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Cool to drinking temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F). Always test on the inside of your wrist before feeding.
Important Information:
- Only use the scoop provided in the pack.
- Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated by adding extra water/scoops, and do not add anything else to the milk.
- Always freshly prepare formula and do not prepare in advance. Use immediately, and discard leftovers at the end of the feed.
- Do not heat a bottle in a microwave, as hot spots may occur, which could cause scalding.
- All opened formulas should be used within 21 days. Never use a formula beyond its expiration date. The expiration date on the formula box/tin is listed according to European standards: day/month/year
- Avoid storing in areas of high heat or humidity.
