Description
HiPP UK Organic Stage 1 is an organic infant milk for babies from birth. It is nutritionally complete so that you can use it as the sole source of nutrition or to supplement breastfeeding through the first 6 months.
Parents love this can for its clean simplicity. Lactose, the same sugar as in breast milk, is the only carbohydrate; GOS prebiotics look after a brand-new tummy, and DHA and ARA at 13.2 mg each per 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) support brain and eyesight. It contains no added sugar, corn syrup, soy, or starch. And because this is the UK version, everything on the pack is in plain English, from the feeding guide to the ingredient list.
HiPP makes this mild organic milk in Germany for the UK market; it's certified organic under UK and EU rules and comes in a large 800 g (28.2 oz) can with a handy scoop holder and leveler in the lid. Full English labeling means you can read every instruction right on the can, no translation needed.
This formula is rated 4.9 stars by parents in our store. "Great quality and without all the extra junk put in most formulas."

What Makes This Formula Special
HiPP has been nurturing babies since 1899, and the UK recipe shows that experience at its most refined: a short, clean ingredient list where every component has a job. Organic skim milk and organic whey provide gentle protein. Organic vegetable oils supply the healthy fats a newborn burns around the clock. Lactose keeps the energy source the same as in breast milk, and the fish oil behind the DHA is sustainably sourced.
The GOS prebiotic fibers, made from organic lactose, feed the good bacteria already living in your baby's gut. Parents of sensitive little ones often appreciate this deliberately simple approach: the UK line sticks to prebiotics only, without the probiotic cultures found in HiPP's COMBIOTIK ranges, and many babies do beautifully on that simplicity.
For US parents, the English labeling is simply convenient. The scoop table, water amounts, and storage rules are all printed on the can in a language you can read at a glance, which makes preparing bottles easier, especially during night feeds.
Want the COMBIOTIK route instead? HiPP Dutch Stage 1 adds probiotic cultures and Metafolin® in the same 800 g can format. Looking for a creamier, more filling feed? HiPP German Stage 1 adds organic starch. And at 6 months, HiPP UK Stage 2 continues the UK range as part of a mixed diet.
Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
Every batch goes through up to 260 safety checks before release, from the raw materials to the finished can. HiPP tests far more residues than the law requires and only packs a batch if it meets HiPP's own tighter limits. The cows behind this organic milk are raised under organic rules, with organic feed and high animal-welfare standards, and both the palm oil and the fish oil are sustainably sourced.
EU baby formula follows strict European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) rules, including required DHA 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 UK Stage 1

Settled tummies, happy babies, and the reassurance of a clean label come back in review after review.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is HiPP UK Stage 1 suitable from birth?
Yes. It is a nutritionally complete organic infant milk from birth, used as the sole source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding. At 6 months, HiPP UK Stage 2 is the next step for a mixed diet.
What is the difference between HiPP UK, Dutch, and German Stage 1?
All three are organic HiPP recipes. The UK version keeps it simple: lactose only, GOS prebiotics, and English labeling. The Dutch version adds probiotic cultures and Metafolin® as a COMBIOTIK formula, and the German version adds organic starch for a creamier, more filling feed.
Does this formula contain probiotics?
No. The UK recipe uses only GOS prebiotic fibers, which feed the good bacteria already in your baby's gut. If you want prebiotics and probiotics combined, HiPP Dutch Stage 1 is the COMBIOTIK option.
Is the labeling really in English?
Yes, completely. This is the UK-market product, so the feeding guide, preparation steps, and ingredient list are all printed on the can in English—no translation needed.
How long does one can last?
The 800 g (28.2 oz) can makes about 62 bottles of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz), using the included scoop (4.3 g per 30 ml of water). Use within 3 weeks after opening. Our formula calculator shows exactly how many cans you need for your baby's age.

How to make a bottle

Preparation for HiPP powdered formulas:
To open the tin: remove the tamper-proof clip and dispose of it safely. Open the lid and remove the scoop inside. Slowly pull back the foil seal using the tab. To close, push the lid down until you hear the click. Follow these steps carefully. Powdered milk is not sterile, so incorrect preparation can make your baby ill.
- Wash your hands and sterilize all equipment following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Boil 1 liter of freshly run water and leave it to cool for no longer than 30 minutes. Do not use artificially softened or repeatedly boiled water.
- Measure the required amount of water into the sterilized bottle, referring to the feeding guide.
- Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of scoops of powder. Level off using the scoop leveler. Do not press the powder down. Scoop size: 4.3g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
- Place the sterilized teat and cap on the bottle and shake well until all the powder has dissolved, about 15 seconds.
- Cool to drinking temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F), by holding the bottle under cold running water. Feed immediately. Always test the milk temperature before feeding. Always prepare feeds fresh and use them immediately. Never prepare in advance, and throw away any unfinished feed within 2 hours. Do not heat feeds in a microwave, as hot spots may occur and could cause scalding. Never leave your baby alone during feeding. Feeds should not be made weaker or stronger than indicated, and nothing else should be added.
Important Information:
- Only use the scoop provided in the can.
- 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 formula 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.
