HiPP UK Organic Cow Stage 3 is an organic growing-up milk for toddlers from 12 months. Use it as part of a mixed diet to top up regular family meals with the nutrients that matter most at this age: vitamin D, calcium, and iron.
 

Toddler eating is famously unpredictable. Broccoli is a favorite on Monday and on the floor by Tuesday. This growing-up milk is the calm insurance underneath those chaotic meals. Lactose is the only carbohydrate, with no starch or added sugar; GOS prebiotics support the tummy, and DHA at 12.0 mg per 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) helps support a fast-growing brain and eyesight. It contains no corn syrup, soy, or maltodextrin. And everything on the pack is in plain English, from the feeding guide to the ingredient list.
 

HiPP makes this mild organic toddler 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. "This formula eased my toddler's picky eating. It's pure and creamy. Ordering's a cinch!"

What Makes This Formula Special
 

After the first birthday, milk changes roles. Your toddler now eats at the table, so the milk beside those meals should complement them, not compete with them. HiPP UK Stage 3 is designed for exactly that: a lighter 60 kcal per 100 ml, leaving room for food while concentrating the nutrients unpredictable toddler days tend to miss.
 

Iron stays high at 0.90 mg per 100 ml, supporting energy, oxygen transport, and cognitive development right through the picky-eating phase. Iron is one of the most common gaps in toddler diets, and a daily serving of Growing Up Milk quietly closes it. Calcium and vitamin D work together for bones that seem to grow a size every season, and vitamin C supports the immune system of a little one who now touches everything.
 

The recipe keeps the UK line's clean simplicity. Organic skim milk, organic lactose, and organic vegetable oils form the base; the GOS prebiotic fibers feed the good bacteria already in your toddler's gut, and the fish oil behind the DHA is sustainably sourced. At this age, HiPP also recommends serving milk from a cup or beaker, and the feed mixes just as easily in a cup as in a bottle.
 

Stepping up from HiPP UK Stage 2? The transition is seamless, with the same mild taste and the same clean label. Want a toddler milk with prebiotics and probiotics combined? HiPP Dutch Stage 4 Junior is the COMBIOTIK option from 12 months. Or browse all our Stage 3 formulas for this age group.
 

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 for far more residues than the law requires and packs a batch only 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, 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 UK Stage 3
 

The stories in our reviews are what convince most new parents. One foster mom told us her little one's reflux was so severe he was on prescription medication: "The HiPP formula reacted so well we were able to stop the medication and have been going strong since. It makes me feel good knowing he will still get the proper nutrients while he is navigating eating." Others keep it short and sweet: "The best. Clean formula." and "Toddler approved!" Settled tummies and easier mealtimes come back again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions
 

What age is HiPP UK Stage 3 for?
It is a growing-up milk from 12 months onwards, used as part of a mixed diet next to regular family meals. It follows HiPP UK Stage 2 or any other follow-on milk.
 

What is the difference between HiPP UK Stage 2 and Stage 3?
Stage 3 is a little lighter, about 60 kcal per 100 ml instead of 68, because toddlers now get much of their energy from real food. Iron stays high, vitamin D and calcium remain front and center, and the clean lactose-only recipe and mild taste stay the same, so switching is seamless.
 

Why choose this over plain cow's milk?
One serving provides iron, DHA, and vitamin D in amounts plain milk does not, which is welcome insurance during the picky-eating years. Many families use it as the bridge between formula and regular milk, always as part of a mixed diet.
 

How much growing-up milk does my toddler need per day?
The guideline printed on the can is about 350 ml a day, as a drink, on cereals, or added to other foods. HiPP recommends serving it from a cup or beaker at this age, and every toddler is different, so adjust to your little one's appetite.
 

How long does one can last?
The 800 g (28.2 oz) can makes about 67 servings of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz), using the included scoop of 4 g per 30 ml of water. At the suggested 350 ml a day, one can covers roughly two and a half weeks. Once opened, use within 3 weeks. Our formula calculator shows exactly how many cans you need.

Preparation for HiPP UK stage 3:

To open the can: 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 toddler ill.


1. Wash your hands and all equipment well.
2. 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.
3. Measure the required amount of water into a clean beaker, referring to the feeding guide.
4. 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: 4g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
5. Place the cap on the beaker and shake well until all the powder has dissolved, about 15 seconds.
6. Cool to drinking temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F), by holding the beaker under cold running water. Serve immediately. 

Important Information:

• Do not make feeds weaker or stronger than indicated by adding extra water/scoops, and do not add anything else to the milk.
• Always prepare formula fresh 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.
