If you're looking for a simple, easy-to-digest formula for older babies and toddlers, look no further than Lebenswert Stage 3, which is designed for babies 10 months and older as part of a mixed diet. Many parents choose Lebenswert Stage 3 as a supplement or alternative to breast milk or cow's milk, often as part of the weaning process. Lebenswert Stage 3 is suitable for babies who have been exclusively breastfed, as well as those who previously enjoyed Lebenswert Stage 1 and Stage 2 formulas.
Along with a base of organic skim milk, Lebenswert Stage 3 contains organic starch and organic maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate that thickens the formula and balances out the sweetness of the milk. Maltodextrin is easy to digest and releases energy more slowly than simple carbohydrates, while the starch helps to thicken the formula, making it creamier and more filling. To round out this delicious, nutritionally-complete formula, Lebenswert Stage 3 also contains organic whey powder and a blend of organic vegetable oils.
Lebenswert formulas have very few "extras," so you won't find prebiotics or probiotics in this product. However, it does contain all of the vitamins and minerals your little one needs to grow and thrive, as required by babies and toddlers who are enjoying an ever-expanding diet.
Lebenswert formulas are known for their exceptionally high quality standards. They don’t contain chemical additives, artificial nutrients, artificial preservatives, gluten, soy, or GMO ingredients. Lebenswert Stage 3 is manufactured and packaged in Germany, and does not contain corn syrup, glucose syrup, or sucrose, unlike many of the highly-processed formulas produced in the United States.
Lebenswert formulas are produced by Holle, one of the most trusted infant formula brands in Europe. Lebenswert Stage 3 is made with organic ingredients that have been certified by Bioland, Germany’s largest organic food association. The requirements for Bioland certification surpass the European Union’s minimum standards for organic agriculture. Bioland certification guarantees that the organic skim milk in Lebenswert formulas comes from well-cared-for cows raised on biodynamic farms that are governed by strict rules about the use of pesticides, antibiotics, fertilizers, and hormones. Bioland-certified farms must also demonstrate a commitment to the highest standards of sustainability, soil quality, and the ethical treatment of animals.
Each box of Lebenswert Stage 3 contains 475 grams (16.76 oz) of formula powder, which should make approximately 110 fl oz of prepared formula.
