HiPP German HA 2 COMBIOTIK is a hydrolyzed, hypoallergenic follow-on formula for babies 6 months and older, used as part of a mixed diet alongside first solids. It continues seamlessly after HiPP HA 1, HiPP PRE HA, or any other hydrolyzed starting formula.
 

The protein in HiPP HA2 is broken down by 86 to 87% to minimize its allergenic impact, so bottles stay easy to digest for babies with cow's milk protein sensitivity right through the weaning months. Compared to HA 1, the recipe provides more iron and calcium to support a baby's developmental needs on the move. Prebiotics and probiotics keep supporting the gut and a maturing immune system, and DHA feeds fast-developing eyes and brain. With lactose as the main carbohydrate, the bottle stays close to breast milk, and as always in this clean recipe, there is no added sugar, no corn syrup, and no soy.
 

This gentle follow-on formula is crafted in Germany to the most stringent European quality standards and comes in a 600 g (21.2 oz) box with a resealable inner bag. The label is in German, 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. "We recently made the switch from Similac Alimentum to this, and are much happier. My little one is spitting up less."

What Makes This Formula Special
 

If a hydrolyzed formula brought calm to your feeds, the six-month mark is no reason to give it up. In HiPP hydrolyzed Stage 2, the milk proteins are already split into small pieces, so a sensitive system can digest them with less effort while solids take up more of the day. A young immune system is also far less likely to react to these small fragments than to whole, intact proteins.
 

As your baby grows, the recipe grows along. Babies are born with an iron store from pregnancy, and that store slowly runs down over the first months. By around 6 months it needs topping up, so HA 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 stays the same 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 isolated from breast milk. HiPP pioneered this nature-inspired combination more than 15 years ago, and it is still unique. Metafolin®, a natural premium folate in the same form found in breast milk, is ready for the body to use right away. And like the whole HA family, HiPP HA2 carries the DLG allergen-management seal, developed with the German Allergy and Asthma Association: independent confirmation that allergens are strictly controlled at every production step.
 

Breaking the protein down is 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 runs 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.
 

Coming from the earlier stages? HiPP German HA 1 and HiPP German PRE HA are the starting options from birth. The same follow-on recipe also comes as HiPP Dutch HA Stage 2 in a large 800 g can, usually the better value per gram.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

Every batch goes through up to 260 safety checks before it leaves quarantine, from raw materials to finished powder, in HiPP's climate-neutral plant. HiPP tests far more residues than the law requires and only packs a batch 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 German HA 2
 

Many of the HA 2 families our support team hears from came to us after trying US hypoallergenic options. One parent wrote: "My baby loves it and does not get any hives. I can rest easy knowing I'm giving her formula that follows tighter safety food standards." In our reviews, parents keep mentioning the mild taste that makes the step up easy, smooth mixing, and tummies that stay settled while solids arrive.
 

Why Choose HiPP HA2?
 

• For babies after 6 months who do best on a gentler, hydrolyzed bottle
• Keeps the comfort of HA 1 while nutrition steps up for a more active baby
• More iron and calcium, matched to the second half of the first year
• Prebiotics and probiotics support digestion and a developing immune system
• Familiar mild taste, so the transition does not become a battle
• Allergen-management certified, made in a climate-neutral plant

If the HA line finally made feeding peaceful, HiPP German HA2 keeps that peace while your baby grows into solids. It comforts a sensitive tummy and feeds everything developing at once, from bright eyes to a curious brain. The gentle path, continued.
