As a leader in alternative feeding solutions, HiPP is dedicated to offering all infants the nutrition they need to thrive. For infants at risk of allergies, which are common during the first year of life, HiPP offers hypoallergenic formula for babies.
The HiPP European Hypoallergenic formula range-available in Dutch and German variations and Stages PRE, 1, and 2-provides specialized, high-quality nutrition designed to address infant allergies. Trust HiPP to provide the gentle, effective solution your little one deserves!
This allergen-friendly HiPP hydrolyzed formula is achieved through a process called hydrolysis. Hydrolysis involves breaking down intact milk proteins into much smaller fragments, which makes the hydrolyzed milk less likely to trigger an allergic response in sensitive infants and easier to digest.
The result is a "hypoallergenic" baby formula that eases digestive discomforts and prevents uncomfortable reactions.
In HiPP's case, their hypoallergenic formulas are based on whey protein hydrolysate, an extensively hydrolyzed form of protein. This means that the protein has been broken down to a size no greater than 15% of its original weight. By significantly reducing the size of the protein fragments, HiPP's formula minimizes the potential for these proteins to be recognized as allergens by the immune system.
As a result, HiPP's hydrolyzed formula offers a gentle and safe nutritional alternative for infants who may be prone to allergic reactions. However, HiPP HA may not be suitable for all babies with cow's milk protein allergy, so it's highly recommended that you speak with your pediatrician before introducing hydrolyzed infant formula into your little one's feeding routine.
Backed by extensive research spanning over 25 years, the HiPP Formula Hypoallergenic line has eased the worries of many parents, as it provides a potential solution for babies who are prone to allergic reactions.
As mentioned above, the key to making a formula hypoallergenic lies in breaking down milk proteins into smaller, hydrolyzed fragments. HiPP's hydrolyzed formula expertly lowers allergenic potential through a combination of extensively hydrolyzed milk protein further enriched with prebiotics and probiotics.
HiPP hypoallergenic formulas go beyond just being gentle; they offer a complete, nutrient-rich alternative to standard formulas, ensuring that even babies with sensitive digestive systems receive the vital nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a trusted authority in food safety science, has affirmed that HiPP HA's hypoallergenic milk for babies offers safe and suitable nutrition for infants. This endorsement reinforces HiPP's dedication to providing top-quality care and effectively managing the risk of allergic reactions in young infants.
In HiPP hydrolyzed formula, you will find a consciously crafted list of ingredients featuring...
Lactose: This key carbohydrate source is vital for your baby's growth, providing the energy needed for their developing body and brain. It ensures they have the fuel required for their daily activities and overall well-being.
Vegetable Oils: Rich in healthy fats, these oils are essential for brain and nervous system development. They also promote healthy skin and eyes and help with the absorption of important vitamins.
Prebiotics and Probiotics: These components work together to support a healthy gut. Prebiotics nourish beneficial bacteria in the digestive system, while probiotics add live good bacteria to help maintain gastrointestinal balance. This combination enhances digestive health, boosts immune function, and keeps your baby's tummy comfortable.
Vitamins and Minerals: These essential nutrients play a critical role in your baby's overall development. They support various bodily functions, including immune health, bone strength, and cellular processes.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids: These vital fatty acids are crucial for brain and eye development. Omega-3s, like DHA, are especially important for cognitive function and visual health, while Omega-6s, like ARA, contribute to overall cellular well-being.
The type and precise amount of each ingredient may vary depending on the infant formula stage, as they are designed to evolve with your baby's growth and development. We will explore the differences between HiPP HA PRE vs Stage 1 and 2 in the following section.

Ideal from birth, HiPP HA PRE is often the go-to choice for newborns starting on formula. It's designed to be gentle on tiny tummies and provides all the essential nutrients that infants need during their first few months. Note that HiPP HA Stage PRE is exclusively available in the German version.
HiPP HA Combiotik Stage 1 is made to support your baby for the first six months of life. It offers a flexible starting point for feeding as an alternative to Stage PRE. Many parents wonder about the difference between HiPP HA PRE and Stage 1. Ultimately, the formulation is very similar between HiPP HA Stage 1 and PRE for both Dutch and German variations. However, HiPP HA formula Stage 1 has slightly different levels of certain macro and micronutrients.
HiPP HA 2 follow-on milk is specially formulated for infants over six months old who are transitioning to solid foods but still require a low-allergen formula. HiPP hypoallergenic formula Stage 2 complements a varied diet while continuing to deliver essential nutrients in an easily digestible and gentle form. HiPP HA Combiotik Stage 2 comes in Dutch and German varieties.
It's worth noting that many children outgrow certain allergies, such as milk protein allergies (CMPA), by the age of one. Thus, as your baby approaches their first birthday, it's a good idea to consult with your pediatrician about your feeding options.
For parents comparing HiPP hypoallergenic Dutch and German, you'll notice that all HiPP hypoallergenic formula ingredients are similar, with only minor differences in nutritional values.
The main difference is in the packaging: HiPP Dutch is sold in 800g metal tins, while HiPP German comes in 600g cardboard boxes. Moreover, both formulas are produced in Germany, but HiPP HA Dutch is packaged in the Netherlands, while HiPP HA German is packaged in Germany. Despite these packaging differences, you can be confident that whichever option you choose, your baby will receive the same high-quality, hypoallergenic nutrition.
If your little one has a diagnosed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), opting for hypoallergenic baby formula may seem like a logical first step when looking for a solution. However, HiPP hydrolyzed formulas may not be suitable for all babies with this condition. Therefore, before trying out this product, we recommend that you consult your pediatrician or healthcare provider to see whether HiPP hypoallergenic infant formula is the right fit for your baby.
