HiPP UK Formula

HiPP Organic UK: The Organic Ingredients Advantage

The UK Organic line of HiPP formulas meets the highest organic standards, using ingredients that exceed EU and UK organic regulations. In addition to meeting these criteria, the brand has introduced its own organic seal, which ensures the milk undergoes physical and chemical tests stricter than those required under organic law for exceptional quality.

As one of the world's largest processors of organic ingredients, HiPP works with over 8,000 farms that use sustainable methods to enhance biodiversity and protect vital farm ecosystems, as part of the brand's commitment to protecting the planet for your child's future.

Organic Skimmed Milk from Pesticide-Free Farms

The brand's strong commitment to organic integrity is reflected throughout their entire Organic UK range, which starts with a base of organic skimmed cow's milk. They do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilizers on organic farms, and animal welfare is also a key focus. Cattle receive organic feed, have access to grazing pastures, and can move freely. Additionally, they strictly prohibit the routine use of antibiotics, growth hormones, and genetically modified feed. As a result, the milk produced for their organic UK baby formula is pure and natural.

Organic Vegetable Oils

The skimmed milk base of HiPP’s formulas contains less than 0.5% fat, allowing the brand to tailor the fatty acid profile more precisely to reflect that of breast milk. To give your little one a supply of crucial macronutrients, as 50% of an infant’s calories come from fats, the formula is enriched with a blend of organic palm, rapeseed, and sunflower oils. Together, these healthy fats support your baby's growth and development.

Organic Lactose

Lactose is the only carbohydrate in HiPP organic formula, mirroring the natural carbohydrate found in breast milk. This provides a gentle and steady energy source that’s perfect for growing babies. Since it’s naturally less sweet than other sugars, it encourages healthy taste preferences as they develop and is one of the least likely sugars to cause tooth decay. Plus, lactose plays a vital role in fostering a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for immune function and aids in the absorption of crucial minerals.

Prebiotic GOS

HiPP UK also contains GOS, a gentle type of prebiotic that helps feed the good bacteria in your baby’s gut. GOS is derived from lactose and is similar to the special oligosaccharides naturally found in breast milk. It helps support a healthy balance of gut bacteria, better digestion, and softer stools more similar to those of breastfed babies.

Metafolin

The improved HiPP formula from UK now includes Metafolin, an advanced source of folate (vitamin B9) that is proven to have greater bioavailability compared to the previously used folic acid. This form of folate is the same one found in human milk and is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, blood formation, and cell differentiation.

HiPP Formula UK Specialty Options

For infants who cannot tolerate conventional formula milk, the brand provides a range of specialty products. As Foods for Specific Medical Purposes, they're designed for use under medical supervision. Although these formulas are not organic, they are proudly non-GMO and crafted according to HiPP's stringent quality standards.

HiPP UK Comfort

This Comfort formula supports the dietary management of colic and constipation. It's uniquely formulated with hydrolyzed whey proteins to aid digestion, reduced lactose for colic support, prebiotics to bolster gut health, and beta-palmitate fats to promote softer stools. Unlike the regular UK line, this formula contains starch and maltodextrin to compensate for the reduced lactose levels, but it is not suitable for babies with lactose intolerance.

HiPP Anti Reflux UK

The brand's Anti-Reflux formula helps to manage reflux and regurgitation. It's specially made with carob bean gum, which is a natural thickening agent that helps feeds stay down. While the formula is not enriched with GOS, the carob bean gum delivers prebiotic effects for further gut-health support. Additionally, lactose remains the sole carbohydrate.

Choose From Our Collection of HiPP UK Formula Stages!

HiPP offers products tailored to babies at different stages of development. They adjust the composition of their organic formula to best support your baby as they grow. Depending on your child's age, you can select from three different stages:

HiPP UK Stage 1 - Organic Infant Milk Formula

Stage 1 is an infant formula intended for newborns between 0 and 6 months of age. It serves as a complete source of nutrition and can be your baby's sole source of nourishment during the first six months of life. Alternatively, it can also be used to complement breastfeeding for those who choose to combo feed.

In terms of its composition, HiPP UK Stage 1 infant formula contains gentle whey protein and prebiotics, making it easier for your little one's tummy to digest. Importantly, while every formula in this line includes DHA for healthy brain and eye development, only this stage contains ARA from Mortierella alpina oil.

HiPP UK Stage 2 - Organic Follow-On Formula

HiPP UK Stage 2 is a follow-on milk formulated for babies aged 6 months and older, intended to be part of a mixed diet that includes formula feeds and organic baby food.

One serving of Stage 2 contains more calories than HiPP UK Stage 1, catering to the nutritional needs of growing babies who are starting to be introduced to solid foods. It also has higher levels of iron, vitamin C, and vitamin D, which are crucial for supporting babies' changing nutritional needs from 6 months onward. These nutrients play an essential role in supporting your baby's immune system and bone health.

HiPP UK Stage 3 - Organic Toddler Formula Milk UK

The final step of organic formula is HiPP UK Stage 3, suitable for little ones aged 12 months and above, which can be used as an alternative to plain cow's milk. This growing-up milk is designed to supplement your child's family diet by offering an additional supply of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. It's fortified with important nutrients for toddlers such as vitamins C and D and calcium. Notably, this formula powder removes organic whey to ensure an age-appropriate protein level for babies over 12 months.

HiPP UK All Stages - Comfort & Anti-Reflux

These special formulas are offered in a single stage suitable from 0-12 months of age. As a nutritionally complete milk, they can be used for combo feeding or exclusive formula feeding for your baby's first six months. From 6-12 months, you can feed them alongside a mixed diet with solids. Similar to HiPP UK Stage 1, these formulas include DHA and ARA.
