Description
HiPP German Stage 2 Bio Combiotik is a well-balanced EU Organic certified (DE-ÖKO-001) follow-on formula for babies after the 6th month. It is made in Germany with organic skimmed milk. Every box carries HiPP's Combiotik blend of natural probiotics and prebiotics, DHA for brain and eye development, and Metafolin, the bioactive form of folate. Stage 2 also has a slightly milder organic starch than Stage 1, which makes each bottle creamier and more filling.
Babies love this delicious lactose-based formula, which contains the same organic, nutritious ingredients as HiPP German Stage 1, making it easy for them to transition. Rated 4.9 stars by many US parents, it is one of the most popular European organic follow-on formulas in the United States.
Parents choose Stage 2 for one simple reason: A baby who has started solids still needs a bottle that satisfies. Lactose stays the main carbohydrate here, just like in breast milk. HiPP then adds a little more mild organic starch than in Stage 1. That makes the bottle creamier, and it carries your baby further between meals. There is no maltodextrin and no refined sugar added. The Combiotik blend pairs a natural probiotic culture with prebiotics from organic lactose to support a comfortable little tummy. That probiotic, Limosilactobacillus fermentum hereditum, was originally derived from breast milk. Babies notice the taste too.
Parents tell us their little ones take to the mild, naturally milky flavor without any fuss. It works just as well after breastfeeding as it does after a first-stage formula. The organic milk comes from farms committed to high animal welfare standards. Every HiPP formula is produced climate neutrally in Germany, meeting the highest European formula regulations set by the EFSA, which are much stricter than organic standards in the United States.

How to make a bottle

Preparation for all powdered formulas:
- Wash your hands and sterilize the bottle, teat, and ring. Clean them thoroughly.
- Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool. Do not prepare the formula with boiling or very hot water, as this may damage the natural lactic acid cultures.
- Pour the correct amount of cooled boiled water into the sterilized bottle (see feeding chart).
- Measure the recommended amount of powder. Fill the scoop loosely and level off. Add the powder to the water. Scoop size: 4.5g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
- Close the bottle and shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved.
- Cool to drinking temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F). Test on the inside of your wrist before feeding. Close the inner bag tightly after each use. Use only the measuring scoop supplied in the box.
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.
