Description
Holle Goat Dutch Formula Stage 2 is an organic goat milk follow-on formula for babies from 6 to 10 months. Use it as part of a mixed diet alongside solids, after breastfeeding, after Holle Goat Dutch Stage 1, or as a switch from any other follow-on milk.
Weaning changes the menu, but the milk underneath can stay just as gentle. The base remains whole goat milk, farmed the biodynamic Demeter way and naturally carrying the A2 protein, with lactose leading the recipe. DHA at 14 mg per 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) supports eyesight, vitamins C and D support the immune system, and this clean recipe contains no palm oil, added sugar, corn syrup, or soy.
This premium follow-on milk is crafted for the Dutch market with biodynamic milk from Germany and comes in a large 800 g (28.2 oz) can. 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 stars by parents in our store. "This is the third formula that we have tried, and I wish we had grabbed it from the beginning."

What Makes This Formula Special
Around 6 months, life speeds up: first purees, first finger foods, and a baby with a bigger appetite between them. Holle Goat Dutch Stage 2 grows along. Next to lactose, the leading carbohydrate, the recipe adds small amounts of gentle organic energy sources, organic maltodextrin and a touch of organic starch, so the feed satisfies a busy baby between meals. It also pairs beautifully with the weaning kitchen; our guide to combining solids with EU formula shows how bottles and spoonfuls fit together.
The milk itself is what makes Holle special. Whole goat milk, naturally carrying the A2 protein and forming a soft curd in the tummy, is farmed to the Demeter standard, the biodynamic certification that goes beyond EU Organic with strict animal welfare at its heart. Iron steps up a little for the second half of year one, and the DHA is plant-based from algal oil, which keeps this formula vegetarian.
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.
Coming from Holle Goat Dutch Formula Stage 1? The step up is seamless, with the same whole goat milk base and the same mild taste. Prefer a compact box? Holle Goat Stage 2 offers the same idea in a 400 g German pack, while this 800 g can is usually the better value per gram. From 10 months, Holle Goat Stage 3 continues the range, and all our Stage 2 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, 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 Holle Goat Dutch Stage 2
Transition stories fill our reviews for this stage. "My daughter took to this formula without any issue, the ingredients are top-notch, and it is gentle on her sensitive stomach," wrote one mom who switched from breastfeeding. Another was relieved at how quiet the step-up was: "I was worried going to stage 2, but he never noticed." Easy switches, settled tummies, and regular, comfortable digestion come back again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age is Holle Goat Dutch Stage 2 for?
It is a follow-on formula for 6 to 10 months, used as part of a mixed diet next to solid foods. From 10 months, Holle Goat Stage 3 is the next step in the goat range.
What is the difference between Holle Goat Dutch Stage 1 and Stage 2?
Stage 1 is a lactose-only starting formula. Stage 2 keeps lactose in the lead but adds small amounts of gentle organic energy sources, so the feed is a touch more satisfying for a baby on the move. Iron steps up a little, and the whole goat milk base and mild taste stay the same.
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.
Can I mix it with cereals or solids?
Yes. From 6 months, this follow-on milk works in a bottle, on cereals, or stirred into purees, which makes it a flexible partner during weaning. Prepare it as directed on the feeding chart and use each portion fresh.
How long does one can last?
The 800 g (28.2 oz) can makes about 59 bottles of 100 ml (3.4 fl oz), using the included scoop (4.5 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.
