HiPP Dutch Stage 1 Bio COMBIOTIK is an organic infant formula for babies from birth until 6 months. It can be used as complete nutrition or alongside breastfeeding. 
 

Parents choose it when they want a mild, lactose-only bottle that closely mimics breast milk. It is rich in prebiotics, probiotics, and vitamin D. It contains DHA for brain and eyesight, with no added sugar, corn syrup, or soy. Little ones often take to the taste from the first bottle. Because of that clean recipe, the HiPP Dutch Cow COMBIOTIK range is our most popular formula range.
 

This cow milk formula is made in Germany for the Dutch market and comes in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can. The can has Dutch and French labeling, with a clear English translation available here.

What Makes This Formula Special
 

Picking a formula is one of the first big calls new parents make. They want a clean, complete bottle that feels close to breast milk and does not load a newborn with extra fillers or unhealthy ingredients. That is why so many families land on HiPP Dutch Stage 1, also called "HiPP Dutch COMBIOTIK" or simply "HiPP Stage 1 Dutch".
 

This can is made in Germany for the Dutch market. It is a complete infant formula from birth until 6 months, used on its own or alongside breastfeeding. Its mild taste is one reason little ones take to it quickly, including babies transitioning between breast and bottle.
 

The heart of the recipe is COMBIOTIK. Prebiotics and probiotics work together to support a healthy gut from day one. The probiotic culture is Lactobacillus fermentum, which is naturally found in breast milk. Parents often notice less gas, less fuss, and more regular stools once their baby receives this blend in each bottle.
 

The only carbohydrate is lactose, the same as found in breast milk. A newborn already knows how to digest it, so the bottle stays gentle.No added starch or maltodextrin. Those fillers can make a feed heavier than a young tummy needs.

The protein comes from organic skim milk, in a mix that is easier to break down than a casein-heavy recipe. That is one reason parents see less gas and more settled feeds. Organic vegetable oils supply the calories a baby burns between naps. Metafolin® is included because folate supports fast early growth, and this natural form is designed to mimic the folate in breast milk. DHA and ARA support brain and eyesight, while vitamin D and vitamin C support the immune system. Choline, inositol, and L-carnitine sit alongside those nutrients so the bottle does more than fill a hungry tummy.
 

No added sugar, corn syrup, soy, GMOs, or artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives are present in this baby formula. Parents choose this formula because every main ingredient has a job, and it leaves out the extras nobody wants.
 

This formula carries the EU Organic and HiPP Bio seals. EU Organic is the legal farm standard: organic feed, no GMOs, and EU animal-welfare rules. The HiPP Bio seal sits on top and means extra lab checks for purity. Independent US testing in 2025 also looked at infant formulas for heavy metals and other unwanted chemicals. HiPP Dutch came out among the cleanest results.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

Every batch goes through up to 260 rigorous safety tests, from the raw materials to the finished can. HiPP tests for far more residues than the law requires and only packs a batch if it meets HiPP's own tighter limits.
 

This formula is made in a climate-neutral HiPP plant. 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. These rules are a higher bar than FDA formula standards and apply to all EU formulas we carry.

Why Parents Trust HiPP Dutch Organic Stage 1
 

This is the formula many American parents come back to. Families switch from US brands and notice a milder taste, easier mixing, less gas, and more predictable stools. One parent wrote that their baby "immediately lowered his spit-ups and fussiness." Another raised both of her kids on this formula.

Preparation for HiPP powdered formulas:

HiPP Dutch Stage 1 uses a one-step mixing method.
 

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Sterilize the bottle, teat, and ring by boiling in water for 10 minutes.
2. 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.
3. Pour the required amount of cooled water into the sterilized bottle (see feeding chart for amounts).
4. 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.
5. Close the bottle and shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved.
6. 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.
