Holle Cow Stage 2 is a triple-certified organic cow milk follow-on formula for babies from 6 to 10 months. Certified EU Organic, Bio-Siegel (Germany's national organic seal), and Demeter Biodynamic, it provides the highest combination of organic standards available in European follow-on formula. This is the 600g German-market version, made with organic skimmed milk and whey from Demeter biodynamic farms, manufactured in Germany. Designed to complement solid foods as your baby begins the weaning stage.
 

As a follow-on formula, Stage 2 has a different carbohydrate profile than Holle Cow Stage 1. While Stage 1 uses lactose as the sole carbohydrate, Stage 2 includes organic maltodextrin and starch alongside lactose (5.2g lactose, 0.8g starch per 100ml prepared) to provide sustained energy for more active infants. Total carbohydrates are 7.7g per 100ml. There is no corn syrup, glucose syrup, or refined sugar. As your little one becomes a toddler, we also offer Holle Organic Baby Formula - Stage 3. 
 

Holle Cow German Stage 2 provides DHA (14mg per 100ml) from microalgae oil (Schizochytrium sp.) for continued brain and eye development. As a follow-on formula, Stage 2 does not include ARA, choline, inositol, or L-carnitine, which are present in Cow Stage 1. This is standard for European follow-on formulas, as these nutrients are expected to come increasingly from solid foods in a baby's diet from 6 months onward. Because DHA comes from algae rather than fish oil, no fish is used in this formula.

The fat blend includes organic palm oil from certified sustainable cultivation, organic sunflower oil, and organic rapeseed oil, providing 3.6g total fat per 100ml. Palm oil provides palmitic acid, the most abundant fatty acid in human breast milk, supporting fat absorption and energy. All three oils are organic and sourced from certified sustainable farms.
 

Stage 2 can be used for both bottle feeding and mixing into porridge from 6 months, making it versatile as your baby's diet expands. Like all Holle Cow formulas, it meets the highest level of European infant formula regulations set by the EFSA. The Demeter biodynamic certification means the cow milk comes from farms with the strictest organic standards for animal welfare, soil health, and biodiversity available worldwide. Free from soy, gluten, GMOs, corn syrup, and artificial additives. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing any formula.
