HiPP International Stage 2 is HiPP Austria's English-language export box of its organic Combiotic follow-on formula, labelled from six months for babies eating solid food, made in Germany and listed by HiPP in Lithuania and Latvia. Its recipe is the German Stage 2 without starch, value for value: lactose is its only carbohydrate, and it adds galacto-oligosaccharides and the culture L. fermentum. It comes in an 800 g box, one 4.5 g scoop per 30 ml of water, and matches the Dutch Stage 2 per 100 ml. ## Key takeaways - A follow-on formula from six months, part of a mixed diet, from HiPP Austria's English export range. - Its recipe is the German Stage 2 without starch, value for value, not the German Stage 2 with starch. - It also matches the Dutch Stage 2 on every row both packs print, and adds a chloride row the Dutch tin leaves out. - HiPP says moving on from a first formula is possible but not required, and the NHS sees no benefit in switching at six months. *Front of the box, from HiPP Lithuania: an older print of the box sold now* - **Age**: From 6 mo - **Size**: 800 g box - **Starch**: None - **HiPP article no.**: AL2105 - **Base**: Cow's milk: skimmed milk and whey - **Carbohydrate**: Lactose only - **DHA**: 13.6 mg / 100 ml - **Combiotik**: GOS + L. fermentum - **Organic**: EU organic - **Contains**: Milk, Fish oil ## In this series - [HiPP Bio Combiotik line · hub]() - [HiPP International Stage 1 · product]() - [HiPP German Stage 2 No Starch · product]() - [HiPP Dutch Stage 2 · product]() ## Guides for this pack - [How to prepare HiPP formula · guide]() - [HiPP Stage 1 vs Stage 2 · comparison]() - [Every HiPP Stage 2 pack · hub]() - [Where to buy HiPP formula · page]() ## Where to buy Not sold by milkatlas in the United States We do not sell this product in the United States.

The ingredient list is word for word the German Stage 2 without starch: organic skimmed milk and whey product, organic vegetable oils and lactose, with no starch. (Source 3) (Source 6) Fish oil adds DHA at 13.6 mg per 100 ml, and HiPP adds galacto-oligosaccharides from organic lactose and the culture *Limosilactobacillus fermentum* CECT5716. (Source 3) Evidence · Manufacturer claim The box says vitamins C and D are important for the immune system, that DHA supports visual development and ALA brain and nerve tissue, and claims clinical proof for its culture and galacto-oligosaccharides. The two trials it cites tested only the culture. Those are HiPP's claims.

The last column is the range for follow-on formula in Regulation (EU) 2016/127, Annex II, per 100 kcal unless it says per 100 ml. The label prints values per 100 ml only, so the per 100 kcal column is calculated from them. Every value is the one printed on the box for 100 ml of made-up feed, which is 13.4 g of powder in 90 ml of water. It matches the German Stage 2 without starch, and the Dutch Stage 2 on every row both packs print. (Source 3) (Source 6) (Source 7) Evidence · Regulation The box is sold as a follow-on formula, so its values must fall within Regulation (EU) 2016/127, Annex II, the ranges in the last column. (Source 8) ## How do you prepare it? Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to 40 to 50 °C, pour it into the bottle and add one level scoop (4.5 g) for every 30 ml. Shake it, cool it to about body temperature and check it; use an opened sachet within 3 weeks.

The feed size column is the volume in the bottle after the powder dissolves. - **Boil fresh drinking water and allow it to cool down to approx. 40-50 °C*.**: HiPP's first step, printed in English on the box. - ***in order not to harm the natural lactic acid cultures (lactobacilli), please do not prepare the formula with water that is too hot.**: The reason HiPP gives for the cooler water. - **1 level measuring scoop = 4.5 g HiPP 2 Combiotic®**: One level scoop weighs 4.5 g. Evidence · Manufacturer claim HiPP asks for water that is not too hot, so as not to harm the lactic cultures. The CDC advises water of around 70 °C for babies under two months, born early or with a weakened immune system. We state both and defer to your pediatrician. (Source 3) (Source 9) ## How much should a baby drink? **Bottle sizes and scoops** | Made-up bottle | Boiled water | Scoops | | --- | --- | --- | | 170 ml | 150 ml | 5 | | 200 ml | 180 ml | 6 | | 235 ml | 210 ml | 7 | The pack gives bottle sizes rather than ages, so this is what it prints and all it prints. How much a child takes varies, and a hungry or sleepy child is a better guide than the table. The pack says a child needs about 5 of these a day. The box gives bottle sizes rather than ages, and says each new solid meal replaces one bottle. (Source 3) Evidence · Manufacturer claim The bottle sizes and the number of meals are HiPP's guide; the box says a baby need not finish the bottle. ## Who is it for, and who is it not for? The box says exclusive breastfeeding is best for the first six months, and that like any follow-on formula this one is for babies from six months as part of a mixed diet, not a breast milk substitute before then; an earlier switch is for the pediatrician to advise. (Source 3) It is made from cow's milk and contains fish oil, so it is not for a baby with a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy, and it is not lactose-free. (Source 3) (Source 10) Evidence · No evidence found HiPP's German advice says moving on from a first formula is possible but not required, and the NHS says there is no benefit in switching to a follow-on formula at six months. (Source 13) (Source 10) Our view A baby doing well on Stage 1 can stay on it; if you move on, this box, the German Stage 2 without starch and the Dutch Stage 2 are the same by their labels, so buy whichever costs least per 100 g. ## The same stage in other markets **Same stage, other markets** | Market | Product | Size | Starch | Ships to the United States | Sold by Organic Life Start | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | International | HiPP 2 Organic Combiotic (this page) | 800 g box | No | Yes | No | | Germany | [HiPP 2 Bio Combiotik ohne Stärke](https://milkatlas.com/formula/combiotik/hipp-german-stage-2-no-starch/) | 600 g box | No | Yes | Yes, US and CA | | Netherlands | [HiPP 2 Bio Combiotik](https://milkatlas.com/formula/combiotik/hipp-dutch-stage-2/) | 800 g tin | No | Yes | Yes, US and CA | HiPP makes this recipe for Germany and Austria as the Stage 2 without starch, in a 600 g box, and for the Netherlands as Stage 2, in an 800 g tin; HiPP's Latvian site lists this same English box.

She has done very well with it ## Questions parents ask ### When can a baby start HiPP International Stage 2? From six months, the box says, as part of a mixed diet for a baby eating solid food; it is not a breast milk substitute in the first six months, and the box asks you to consult your pediatrician before an earlier switch. ### Is it the same as the German Stage 2? It matches the German Stage 2 without starch, every value in the table and every ingredient in the same order. The German Stage 2 with starch is a different recipe. The export box holds 800 g against 600 g, is printed in English, and carries a badge claiming clinical proof that the German box does not. ### Does a baby on Stage 1 need to move to Stage 2? No. HiPP's German advice says moving on from a first formula is possible but not required, and the NHS says there is no benefit in switching to a follow-on formula at six months. ### Why does HiPP Lithuania's page call it infant formula? The Lithuanian page title uses the term for infant formula, but the box says organic follow-on milk from six months, and the page sits among HiPP Lithuania's follow-on formulas. This site follows the box. ### How many scoops for a bottle? One level scoop of 4.5 g for every 30 ml of water. The box gives three bottles, 5 scoops in 150 ml, 6 in 180 ml and 7 in 210 ml, and says babies need about 5 meals a day, each new solid meal replacing a bottle. ### What do the trials cited on the box show? The box cites two 2012 trials; in both, every baby had galacto-oligosaccharides and only the added culture was tested, with fewer gastrointestinal infections in babies given it. ### Is HiPP International Stage 2 approved by the FDA? No. The FDA does not approve infant formulas, and this box is made in Germany for HiPP's export range. No HiPP formula is on the FDA's list of formulas marketed in the United States, and the box has no US nutrition facts panel. ### Is it organic? Yes. The box carries the EU organic logo, and its milk, whey product, oils, lactose and galacto-oligosaccharides are marked organic. ## Sources How this page was checked - Sources verified · 18 Sept 2026 - External links · opened and read 18 Sept 2026 - Product data · snapshot 2026-09-18 - Editorial review · 19 Sept 2026 - Next scheduled check · 19 Oct 2026 1.
