Looking for a gentle, organic cow's milk formula that's kind to your baby's tummy? Holle A2 Stage 1 is a certified organic infant formula made with skimmed milk from specially selected cows that naturally produce only A2 proteins. Research suggests that A2 milk reduces the digestive discomfort often associated with conventional (A1) cow's milk, making it a soothing choice for little ones from birth to 6 months. It's also structurally closer to breast milk, which naturally contains only A2 proteins, so it can be a smoother transition for breastfed babies, with the same delicious, creamy, milky taste.

Holle A2 Stage 1 uses lactose as its only carbohydrate. Just as nature intended, more than a third of a newborn's calorie intake comes from lactose, which fuels growth and supports bone development and gut health. Its second ingredient is gentle whey powder: unlike casein, whey stays liquid in the tummy and passes through more quickly for easier digestion. To support healthy development, the formula also provides plant-based DHA (omega-3) sourced from algae rather than fish oil, plus essential vitamins and minerals. Holle is made to strict European organic (Demeter-aligned) standards, using milk from organic farms with high animal-welfare practices.

Please note:

• A2 milk is not suitable for babies with lactose intolerance or a cow's milk protein allergy.
• Holle A2 Stage 1 does not contain prebiotics or probiotics.
• Always consult your healthcare professional before introducing formula.
