Holle Goat Dutch Formula Stage 1 is an organic goat milk formula for babies from birth to 6 months. You can use it as the sole source of nutrition or to supplement breastfeeding, and it is a big-can favorite for families who want a naturally gentle alternative to cow milk formula.
 

The recipe could hardly be simpler or purer. The base is whole goat milk, farmed the biodynamic Demeter way and naturally carrying the A2 protein, and lactose, the same sugar as in breast milk, is the only carbohydrate. DHA at 15 mg per 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) supports brain and eyesight with ARA alongside it, and in this clean recipe you will find no palm oil, no added sugar, no corn syrup, no soy, and no maltodextrin.
 

This premium goat milk formula is crafted for the Dutch market with biodynamic milk from Germany and comes in a large 800 g (28.2 oz) can with a handy scoop holder inside. The label is in Dutch and French, so we translated the preparation instructions, feeding chart, and ingredient info into English here.
 

This formula is rated 4.9/5 stars by parents in our store. "Great formula! Baby has done awesome on it, no gas, not fussy seems to enjoy it!"

What Makes This Formula Special
 

Holle has made goat milk formula for more than 20 years, and this Dutch can is the family-size way to enjoy it. The base is whole goat milk, so part of the fat comes naturally from the milk itself, rounded out with organic sunflower and rapeseed oil instead of palm oil. Goat milk naturally contains the A2 milk protein and forms a soft curd in the tummy, which is why so many families with sensitive little ones try goat first.
 

Farming is what makes Holle extra special. The milk is Demeter certified, meeting the biodynamic standard that goes beyond EU Organic and emphasizes strict animal welfare and farming in harmony with soil and nature. The DHA is plant-based, derived from algal oil rather than fish oil, keeping this formula vegetarian. Choline, inositol, and L-carnitine round out a complete nutritional profile for the first 6 months.
 

One honest note, because goat milk is often searched for allergy reasons: goat milk still contains milk proteins. It is not a treatment for a confirmed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy. Always ask your pediatrician first if allergies are a concern. For everyday sensitive tummies, gas, or fussiness on cow formula, goat milk could be the gentle path you are looking for; our guide to goat milk formula for sensitive tummies explains why so many parents make the switch.
 

Prefer a compact pack to start with? Holle Organic Goat Formula Stage 1 offers the same Demeter idea in a 400 g box, while this 800 g can is usually the better value per gram and the easy choice once goat milk is a keeper. At 6 months, Holle Goat Dutch Stage 2 continues the range, and all our organic goat milk formulas are gathered in one place.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

Holle has stood for organic quality for more than 85 years and was the world's first Demeter producer of baby food. Biodynamic farming means the goats are raised with high animal-welfare standards on organic farms, and every ingredient is strictly controlled from farm to can. Simple, natural recipes are the whole philosophy: what your baby does not need does not go in.
 

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 Holle Goat Dutch Stage 1
 

Many families come here after US formulas didn't agree with their newborn. "Then a week after transitioning to Holle formula, he improved! We are so happy we actually can enjoy our newborn stage with our little man," one mom wrote after a frustrating start on an American brand. Another switcher noticed it immediately: "Even the smell of this formula is better. More natural and easier to digest." Settled tummies, less gas, and babies who happily take the bottle come back in review after review.

What is the difference between Holle Goat Dutch and Holle Goat German Stage 1?
The recipe idea is the same: Demeter biodynamic whole goat milk, lactose as the only carbohydrate, and plant-based DHA.

Is this formula suitable for a cow's milk protein allergy?
No. Goat milk still contains milk proteins, so it is not a treatment for a confirmed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy. For allergy concerns, choose a formula under medical guidance; for everyday sensitivity, goat milk is a gentle option.
 

Is this formula vegetarian?
Yes. The DHA comes from plant-based algal oil instead of fish oil; it contains no palm oil, and the milk carries the Demeter biodynamic seal in addition to its EU Organic certification.
