Kendamil UK Classic Stage 1 Formula is one of the most popular European infant cow milk formulas that we carry, loved by parents for its gentle composition and exceptional nutritional value. Classic is not a simpler version of Kendamil Organic, it is a different recipe. Classic Stage 1  is made with whole milk from UK family farms, so the fat comes from milk rather than added vegetable oil. There is no palm oil and no fish oil, and the DHA comes from algae instead. That is what makes the 100% certified vegetarian claim possible. It carries three prebiotics rather than two: GOS, FOS and 3'-GL. This delicious formula is perfect for babies from birth up to 6 months, this whole-milk-based formula can be used as a complete meal or to complement breastfeeding, providing your baby with all the essential nutrients for healthy growth and development.


Most people land on this page trying to work out whether Classic or Organic is the right one. They are built differently, so here is the honest answer. Classic uses a whey protein concentrate rich in alpha-lactalbumin, and total protein sits at 1.3g per 100ml. That is a little lower than the Organic recipe. It carries a third prebiotic, fructo-oligosaccharides, alongside the GOS and 3'-GL that both recipes share. Vitamin E, vitamin C, biotin, choline and inositol are all slightly higher here. What the Organic range has that Classic does not is the organic certification itself,

Kendamil Classic Cow Stage 1 uses plant-based DHA sourced from marine algae to support healthy brain and eye development. This gentle, whole-milk formula is crafted from 100% full-cream cow’s milk, a natural source of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), which supports cognitive growth and immune function. Crafted in the pristine UNESCO World Heritage UK Lake District on family-run farms, Kendamil Classic Stage 1 features a 60:40 whey: casein ratio that mimics breast milk, ensuring easy digestion for delicate tummies. Kendamil Classic baby formula is also available in Kendamil Classic Stage 2 and Kendamil Classic Stage 3, ready to support your baby's diet as they grow older and stronger. Kendamil Classic is not organic and carries no organic certification. If that matters to you, please take a look at Kendamil Organic First Infant Milk, Stage 1.

What sets Kendamil apart from many U.S.-made formulas is its clean ingredient profile: it’s free from soy, palm oil, synthetic additives, GMOs, corn syrup, sugar, and peanuts. Unlike the U.S. version, which offers only two stages, Kendamil provides three distinct stages tailored to meet your baby’s changing nutritional needs as they grow. This formula is certified by the UK Red Tractor, ensuring high food standards, free of hormones or antibiotics, and promoting animal welfare.

To open the can: snap open the tamper-proof clip and dispose of it immediately and safely, away from children. Hold the top of the can with both hands, place both thumbs under the lip, and push up to open. The scoop is held inside the lid. Open the foil seal by carefully pulling back on the easy-open tab, then dispose of the foil.

1. Wash your hands, then sterilize your feeding utensils according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Fill a kettle with 1 liter of freshly run tap water. Do not use repeatedly boiled water.
3. Boil the water and leave it to cool for no more than 30 minutes, so it stays at a temperature of at least 70°C.
4. Measure the required water into a sterilized bottle.
5. Using the scoop provided, add the correct number of leveled scoops to the bottle. Use the straight edge inside the lid to level each scoop. Scoop size: 4.3g. Use 1 scoop per 30ml water.
6. Place a sterilized teat and cap on the bottle and shake well to dissolve the powder.
7. Cool to natural body temperature, approximately 37°C (98°F), by running the bottle under cold running water with the lid on. Always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.

Use the correct amount of leveled scoops as directed. Using too much or too little can make your baby ill. Once feeding begins, use the formula within 1 hour or discard it. Do not add food products such as cow's milk to your baby's milk. Do not re-heat in a microwave. When bottle feeding, do not allow prolonged contact of milk feeds with your baby's teeth, as this increases the risk of tooth decay. Make sure your baby's teeth are cleaned each night after the last feed. Use only the scoop provided in the pack.
