HiPP Dutch HA Stage 2 COMBIOTIK is a hydrolyzed, hypoallergenic follow-on formula for babies from 6 months onward. It is designed as part of a mixed diet alongside first solids, picking up right where HiPP Dutch HA Stage 1 leaves off.
 

Around 6 months, everything changes: first spoonfuls, first sitting up, a baby who suddenly needs more from every feed. If hydrolyzed formula has been working for your little one, there is no reason to give that comfort up now. The protein in HiPP HA Dutch Stage 2 is broken down by 86 to 87%, so digestion stays easy for babies with mild cow's milk sensitivity while the nutrition steps up for this busier stage.
 

Prebiotics and probiotics keep the tummy happy, DHA supports eyesight and brain development, and the taste stays as mild as the Stage 1 your baby already knows. The recipe is clean too, with no added sugar, corn syrup, or soy.
 

This delicious follow-on milk is crafted in Germany for the Dutch market to the most stringent European quality standards and comes in an 800 g (28.2 oz) can. The label is in Dutch and French, so we translated the preparation instructions, feeding chart, and ingredient info into English here.
 

This formula is rated 4.9 stars by parents in our store. "Best formula, we love it for my baby with intolerance."

What Makes This Formula Special
 

This recipe builds on the same gentle idea that made Stage 1 work. In a standard formula, the milk proteins stay whole, and a sensitive system can struggle with them. Here, the whey arrives already split into small pieces a young tummy handles with far less effort. That can mean less gas, less fussing, and calmer feeds, exactly what you want while so much else is new.
 

As your baby grows, the recipe grows along. Babies are born with an iron store built up during pregnancy, and that store slowly runs down over the first months. By around 6 months, it needs topping up, so Stage 2 steps in with more iron for healthy blood and development. Energy rises slightly from 67 to 68 kcal per 100 ml, and the scoop is a little larger too. What does not change is the heart of the recipe: COMBIOTIK, HiPP's synbiotic combination of prebiotic fibers that feed the good bacteria already in the gut and the probiotic culture L. fermentum, originally found in breast milk. A settled gut supports immunity too. HiPP also uses Metafolin® instead of synthetic folic acid, a natural premium folate the body can use right away.
 

Breaking down the protein requires extra processing, so the finished formula does not carry the EU Organic seal. The other ingredients still come from high-quality organic, non-GMO sources, and every batch goes through the same strict HiPP factory checks as the organic lines.
 

Please note: this is a specialty formula, not a medical treatment for a confirmed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy. Talk to your pediatrician before you start or switch. You can find all our gentle options on our Specialty Formulas for Sensitive Tummies page.
 

The same follow-on recipe also comes as HiPP German HA Stage 2 in a smaller pack; this Dutch can is larger and usually the better value per gram. If your baby has outgrown the sensitivity and your pediatrician agrees, HiPP Dutch Stage 2 is the regular organic follow-on to step over to.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

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

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 and UK formulas we carry. Read more in our EU vs US formula guide.
 

Why Parents Trust HiPP Dutch HA Stage 2
 

We frequently hear that babies move from HA 1 to HA 2 without missing a beat. In our reviews, parents mention smooth mixing, a mild taste babies readily accept, and tummies that stay settled through the transition to solids. One parent wrote: "My baby does so well with this formula. He's doing much better compared to being on other formulas." Another put it simply: "The milk is so light, my baby loved it."
