What Makes This Formula Special
 

Holle Cow Stage 3 is a proven toddler recipe made with Demeter skimmed cow milk from Germany. Vitamin C and D support the immune system. DHA supports eyesight. ALA omega-3 supports brain and nerves. Because DHA comes from algae, not fish oil, this formula is vegetarian.
 

As your baby enters toddlerhood, the recipe grows with them. Up from Holle Cow Stage 2, Stage 3 is meant as 1 to 2 drinks a day alongside a broader family diet. Energy eases slightly (67 kcal vs 68 kcal per 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz). The Stage 3 scoop is 4.4 g, not 4.5 g. This 600 g box makes about 45 servings of 100 ml.
 

Compared with Holle A2 Cow Stage 3: Both are organic follow-on milks from 10 months, with DHA from algae and a fat blend that includes palm oil. Holle Cow Stage 3 is triple certified with Demeter milk and comes in a 600 g (21.2 oz) box. Holle A2 Cow Stage 3 is also EU Organic and Bio-Siegel. It is Halal certified, comes in a 400 g (14.1 oz) box, and uses milk from selected A2 cows only.
 

Safety, Quality and Animal Welfare
 

This formula is triple certified: EU Organic, German Bio-Siegel, and Demeter. Demeter is the biodynamic farm standard that goes beyond EU organic. It treats the farm as one living system, with extra rules for soil health and the welfare of the cows used for the milk.
 

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 formulas we carry. Read more in our EU vs US formula guide.
 

Why Parents Trust Holle Cow Stage 3
 

One parent wrote it was “a great transition from breast milk to cow’s milk.” Others mention less spit-up than with American formula, no tummy issues through the stages, and a child still growing well.
 

Grandparents and parents of twins say the same thing: "the little ones enjoy it", and they feel better about the ingredients.
