HiPP German Formula – All You Need To Know
HiPP German has a lot in common with HiPP Dutch and HiPP UK, all three of which are great formula options for your little one. All three contain all the nutrients your baby needs to promote growth, development, and good health. The true mark of a high-quality formula option is also shared among HiPP German, Dutch, and UK – a European organic certification.
The ingredients include organic whey, organic skimmed milk, organic lactose, important vitamins and minerals, vegetable oils, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, prebiotics, and more. None of these three formula ranges has any gluten, GMO, syrup, preservatives, synthetic nutrients or refined sugars.
HiPP German looks to mimic the probiotics found in natural breast milk by using organic lactic acid cultures. Probiotics are an important ingredient for formula as they improve the health of your child’s gut, strengthen immune systems, reduce eczema, and reduce colic, while ensuring the baby doesn’t get constipated. Experts claim that 30% of a healthy baby’s microbiome is sourced from the probiotics within their mother’s breast milk, which outlines how important it is the mimic this for formula-fed children.

HiPP German FAQs:
Is soy bad for babies? Is there soy in HiPP German?
Some babies can have a sensitivity to soy. However, some products like HiPP German Stage 2 only use soy lecithin as an emulsifier, which means there are only small traces of soy. As such, there is not enough soy to cause a reaction for sensitive babies.
Are all of the ingredients in HiPP German organic?
HiPP German 1 and 2 are both organic, which you can see by the BIO leaf on the box.
