What is the difference between Holle Pre formula and Holle stage 1 formula?

According to EU regulations, baby formulas should not contain sugar in its pure form. Stage Pre and stage 1 formulas are suitable from birth until 6 months of baby’s age. Human breast milk contains lactose Holle Pre contains lactose to imitate mother’s milk whereas Holle stage 1 contains maltodextrin which is produced from hydrolyses of plants and wheat. This is the only difference between two formulas but both the formulas are good for newborns. Holle Pre formula is suggested for newborns because it imitates mother’s milk.

What is the difference between Holle stage Pre and Lebenswert Bio stage 1 formula?

Both the formulas are suitable for newborns until 6 months. Lebenswert Bio formulas are actually produced by Holle. Holle pre is produced with Demeter certification whereas Lebenswert is produced with Bioland certification. Both the certifications fulfil baby formula organic regulations required by law and both the formulas support baby growth and development. Nutritional values vary between two formulas.

Same Sugar as in Breast Milk Only

Holle PRE infant formula is made for babies under 6 months that would normally only get breast milk as food. A big portion of your baby’s need for energy is usually supplied by carbohydrates aka. sugars.

In nature, your baby would only get lactose as carbohydrate through breastmilk, which is why Holle formula only contains organic lactose, Demeter milk fat and no other sugars like maltodextrin or no genetically modified ingredients. “Nature meant it to be like that.” says Holle.

High Organic Standards

The milk in Holle organic infant formula PRE is produced from Demeter certified farms. It is the highest organic certification in Europe available. Assuring completely chemical-free agriculture and high standards of animal welfare and no dehorning of cows.

Demeter certification also means growing plants and raising cows using a biodynamic approach, which is also good for our environment. So it helps to save the planet too!

About Holle

Holle was founded in 1933 and the most unique thing about Holle is that the milk in these infant milk formulas comes from cows raised on biodynamic (Demeter) farms in caring and appropriate environments.

All farms strictly adhere to EU organic regulations and to the stringent international Demeter regulations.

Growing plants in biodynamic approach and raising goats and cows in lush biodynamic fields and pastures - free of pesticides or chemical fertilizers - is the reason for the superior quality of the milk used in premium baby food. Demeter farmers also avoid the painful dehorning of cows or goats.

Will stick with Holle!

We are still on holle pre at 9.5 months and it is great! Been 100% formula since 3 months and has maintained his curve perfectly. My LO never spit up, has never had a diaper rash and there was never any change in his poops between the breastmilk and formula. I have never added anything to it and I love how pure it is.

Demeter

I love that Holle Pre is Demeter. Been having some extreme mom guilt because I am not able to breastfeed. But my baby seems to be doing great on Holle Pre and it eases my mind a lot that I know it only includes top-notch ingredients!

Good formula

I’m currently combo feeding my 5 week old with Holle Pre and he takes it well. I’ll be gradually weaning and moving to completely formula-fed in the next month or so.
