HiPP Comfort formula can be an excellent solution if you're looking for an all-in-one combination of high-quality nourishment and gentle ingredients. This special baby formula is thoughtfully designed to alleviate unpleasant digestive issues, including lactose-related colic, constipation, and gas. HiPP Comfort works wonders through its powerful blend of hydrolyzed proteins, less lactose, special fats, and prebiotics that soothe sensitive babies. If you're ready to say goodbye to fuss and tears, HiPP Comfort formula can help!
Tummy issues in infancy are frequent, with as many as 50% of babies experiencing non-specific digestive problems. HiPP Comfort formula is designed to address the common digestive issues many babies experience. Its uniquely delicate formulation was developed by infant nutrition experts and has proven to be effective for a variety of unpleasant symptoms.
For example, when babies have sensitivities to lactose, their system can get overloaded by a high-lactose formula, which can lead to colic. However, since HiPP Comfort milk has less lactose than your average formula, it can be easier for some infants to tolerate. Studies have reported up to a 40% decrease in crying from switching to Comfort formula!
Another important feature of HiPP comfort is the hydrolyzed proteins. While most milk formulas have intact milk proteins, the proteins in this special formula have been broken down into smaller particles that are less allergenic and can also pass through the digestive system more easily, providing a gentler alternative to conventional formulas.
We all know that a gassy baby is oftentimes also a grumpy baby. The inclusion of prebiotics in HiPP Comfort special formula is a simple solution for reducing stomach bloating and gas by balancing their gut microflora.
HiPP Comfort formula uses only carefully selected ingredients that can support your baby's health and growth while being gentle on the tummy. These ingredients include:
• Hydrolyzed whey protein. Research has demonstrated that when infant formula is made with extensively hydrolyzed proteins, there is a significant reduction in babies' gastrointestinal symptoms and crying, making this ingredient a key component of the HiPP Comfort formula. However, this formula is not organic due to the special but essential processing the hydrolyzed milk undergoes.
• Reduced lactose. To keep the lactose levels low, some of the lactose in HiPP Comfort baby formula is replaced by maltodextrin and starch. As an added bonus, the starch results in a pleasant creamy consistency that's slightly thicker, which reduces the likelihood of air swallowing.
• Prebiotics. HiPP Comfort milk is enriched with galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). These prebiotics support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, allowing for smoother digestion and alleviating such unpleasant symptoms as constipation or bloating.
• Probiotics. In HiPP Comfort German, probiotics are used in addition to the prebiotics for more comprehensive digestive and immune health support.
• B-Palmitate. This easy-to-digest source of fats derived from palm, rapeseed, and sunflower oil is structurally similar to the fat profile of human milk. It has been found to help avoid the formation of fatty acid soaps, resulting in softer stools and reduced constipation.
• Essential fatty acids. HiPP Comfort formula contains DHA (omega-3) and ARA (omega-6). These essential fatty acids are crucial for brain and eye development. They may also play a role in supporting cognitive and immune function.
• Vitamins and minerals. In HiPP Comfort formula, vitamins and minerals are skillfully combined to deliver optimal nutrition. For example, iron helps with red blood cell formation, vitamin C supports the immune system, and vitamin D contributes to healthy bone development.
Colic can be distressing for you and your baby, but HiPP Comfort formula can help soothe colic symptoms, thereby enhancing your family's quality of life.
A balanced gut microbiome is also essential for digestive health and comfort. Beyond minimizing tears, this formula can positively alter your baby's intestinal microbiota. The prebiotics in the formula promote the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, boosting the amount of beneficial bacteria in your baby's gastrointestinal tract.
Finally, because HiPP Comfort is an all-stages formula suitable from birth to 12 months, it has age-appropriately adapted low protein levels. High protein consumption in early infancy has been linked with a higher risk of obesity later in life. Hence, infant nutrition experts recommend less than 2g of protein per 100 kcal of infant formula, which this Comfort formula satisfies at 1.89g per 100 kcal.
HiPP Comfort UK and German formulas are produced under strict European standards. However, there are some variations between them to comply with each country's specific requirements, which we'll cover next.
An important difference between the UK and German versions of this formula is that HiPP Comfort UK includes prebiotics but has no probiotics. As far as packing goes, the UK variant holds 800g of formula powder, which is more than a box of HiPP German Comfort formula.
HiPP Comfort German stands out for its use of probiotic lactic acid cultures originally extracted from breast milk in addition to prebiotic GOS. The synbiotic combination of pre- and probiotics makes it an appealing choice for comprehensive gut health support. In terms of how the formula is packaged, you can find 600g boxes of the German version on our shop.
Here are answers to some of parents' most commonly asked questions about HiPP Comfort milk formula.
HiPP Comfort is a single-stage formula designed for infants from birth to 12 months. It's suitable from birth onwards as your baby's sole source of nutrition or as a supplement to breast milk. However, for use after 6 months, it must be fed as part of a mixed diet that includes complementary solid foods.
No, HiPP specialty baby formulas such as HiPP Comfort formula are not organic due to how the ingredients are processed. However, all HiPP formulas are non-GMO and made with high-quality, clean ingredients.
They are both special formulas that use extensively hydrolyzed milk proteins, but while HiPP Comfort is for the dietary management of digestive issues and colic, HiPP HA is a hypoallergenic formula intended for babies with sensitivities to cow's milk proteins or a family history of allergies.
The Comfort and Anti-Reflux formulas by HiPP are designed to help with digestive issues, but their purposes differ. HiPP Comfort is meant to help alleviate gas, colic, and constipation, whereas HiPP Anti-Reflux helps to address infant reflux (GERD) symptoms. Addtionally, the Comfort and Anti Reflux recipes are both thicker than conventional infant formula options because the Comfort milk includes starch, and the Anti Reflux milk has locust bean gum.
