Description
Looking for a gentle, organic follow-on formula that's kind to your baby's tummy? Holle A2 Stage 2 is a certified organic formula for babies from 6 months, made with skimmed milk from specially selected cows that naturally produce only A2 proteins. For little ones who enjoy the slightly sweet, creamy taste of cow's milk, it delivers that familiar flavor with gentler qualities that sensitive stomachs tend to tolerate. Research suggests that A2 milk offers a more comfortable alternative to conventional cow's milk by easing the digestive intolerance associated with A1 proteins. And because both Holle A2 and human milk are based entirely on A2 proteins, Holle A2 is an ideal choice for breastfed babies, facilitating a seamless transition.
As a follow-on formula, Holle A2 Stage 2 is designed to be fed alongside your baby's weaning diet. It uses lactose plus organic maltodextrin and starch for a steady supply of energy and a creamy, satisfying feel, and it provides increased vitamin A compared with Stage 1 to support your baby's immune function, vision, and skin health. 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 standards, using milk from organic farms with high animal-welfare practices.

- Always consult your healthcare professional before introducing formula.
