[How this site is funded →](https://milkatlas.com/disclosure/) ## The answer *Front of the pack* HiPP Dutch HA 2 is the follow-on formula in HiPP's Dutch HA range, labelled from six months as part of a varied diet. Its whey protein is broken down, lactose is its only carbohydrate, and it adds galacto-oligosaccharides and the culture L. fermentum; it is not organic. It comes in an 800 g tin, with one 4.5 g scoop per 30 ml of water, and matches the German HA 2 per 100 ml. The tin says not to use it with a cow's milk protein allergy or a suspected one. ## Key takeaways - A follow-on formula from six months, part of a varied diet, never in place of breast milk before then. - Hydrolysed whey protein, lactose as the only carbohydrate, no starch, not organic. - Per 100 ml it has 1.0 mg of iron, where the Dutch HA 1 has 0.60 mg. - The NHS says there is no benefit in switching to a follow-on formula at six months. *Front of the tin, Dutch label* - **Age**: From 6 mo - **Size**: 800 g tin - **Starch**: None - **HiPP article no.**: NL2184-03 - **Base**: Cow's milk whey protein, hydrolysed - **Carbohydrate**: Lactose only - **DHA**: 13.6 mg / 100 ml - **Combiotik**: GOS + L. fermentum - **Organic**: Not organic - **Contains**: Milk, Fish oil ## In this series - [HiPP HA Combiotik · hub]() - [HiPP Dutch HA 1 · product]() - [HiPP German HA 2 · 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]() - [The whole Dutch HiPP range · hub]() - [Where to buy HiPP formula · page]() ## Buy from Organic Life Start In stock - Single pack · $66.79 · $2.37 per oz - 3 pack · $200.37 · $2.37 per oz - 6 pack · $382.74 · $2.26 per oz - 12 pack · $717.48 · $2.12 per oz - Delivery · Ships from Europe, 1 to 6 business days - Sold and shipped by · Organic Life Start, our partner retailer - Price per oz · $2.37 for one 800 g tin (28.2 oz) - Prices seen · Last checked 15 Oct 2026 [Subscribe & Save at the retailer →](https://organiclifestart.com/products/hipp-ha-dutch-stage-2) affiliate ## What is in HiPP Dutch HA 2? The first ingredient is lactose, the only carbohydrate, and the protein is hydrolysed whey protein, which the tin calls strongly broken down. (Source 3) Fish oil adds DHA at 13.6 mg per 100 ml, and HiPP adds galacto-oligosaccharides and the lactic culture *Limosilactobacillus fermentum* CECT5716. Nothing on the tin is marked organic. (Source 3) *The ingredients as printed on the tin, in Dutch; the French list follows it.* Evidence · Manufacturer claim The tin claims DHA for visual development, and HiPP's site for health professionals makes claims for the immune system; both are HiPP's own. EFSA found the hydrolysed protein nutritionally safe and suitable for follow-on formula in 2022.

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 tin for 100 ml of made-up feed, which is 13.4 g of powder in 90 ml of water. On every value this site records, it matches the German HA 2. (Source 3) (Source 10) *The top of the nutrition table on the tin, per 100 ml, in Dutch and French. If the tin and this page ever disagree, the tin is right and we log a correction.* Evidence · Regulation HA 2 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 4) ## 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; the tin says to give it within half an hour and never reuse what is left.

The feed size column is the volume in the bottle after the powder dissolves. - **Kook vers drinkwater en laat het afkoelen tot ongeveer 40°-50°C***: Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to about 40 to 50 °C. - ***Om de natuurlijke melkzuurbacteriën niet te beschadigen, is het raadzaam het melkpoeder niet met kokend water te overgieten.**: So as not to damage the natural lactic cultures, do not pour boiling water on the powder. - **Gebruik altijd 1 maatlepel (4,5 g) voor 30 ml water.**: Always use one scoop (4.5 g) for every 30 ml of water. Evidence · Manufacturer claim HiPP asks for water that is not too hot, so as not to damage 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 5) ## 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 tin 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 tin itself says a baby need not finish the bottle. ## Who is it for, and who is it not for? The tin says HA 2 is only for babies at least six months old, as one part of a varied diet, and must not replace breast milk in the first six months. It must not be used with a cow's milk protein allergy or a suspicion of one. (Source 3) The NHS says there is no benefit in switching to a follow-on formula at six months, and that a diagnosed cow's milk allergy calls for a prescribed formula with fully broken-down protein. (Source 6) Evidence · No evidence found ESPGHAN found in 2024 that there is not enough evidence to recommend a partly or extensively hydrolysed formula for preventing cow’s milk allergy, and a Cochrane review found none in 2018. The American Academy of Pediatrics said the same in 2019 and has since retired that report. (Source 11) (Source 12) (Source 7) Our view A baby doing well on HA 1 can stay on it past six months unless the pediatrician says otherwise; if you do move on, the Dutch and German HA 2 are the same per 100 ml, so buy the cheaper 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 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Netherlands | HiPP HA 2 Combiotik (this page) | 800 g tin | No | Yes | Yes, US and CA | | Germany | [HiPP HA 2 Combiotik](https://milkatlas.com/formula/hypoallergenic/hipp-german-ha-2/) | 600 g box | No | Yes | Yes, US and CA | HiPP sells an HA 2 in Germany too, with the same values per 100 ml in a smaller box and German instructions.

Verified buyer [on Formuland](https://formuland.com/products/hipp-dutch-ha-2-hypoallergenic-formula-from-6-months-800g) 3 Oct 2026 My baby had a hard time switching over to formula at 4 months after exclusively breastfeeding. Unfortunately, it was a need rather than a want, to do so. We tried Bobbi, Kendamil, Hipp regular, and she took very well to the Hipp HA German one. We switched over at 6 months to the level two, but it was causing constipation because of they add something to have it be a bit heavier. Well after research, the Dutch version doesnt do this. So no more constipation after the switch. ## Questions parents ask ### When can a baby start HiPP Dutch HA 2? From six months, the tin says, as one part of a varied diet; it must not replace breast milk in the first six months, and the tin asks you to check with your doctor that your baby is ready. ### Does a baby on HA 1 need to move to HA 2? Nothing on the tins says so. The NHS says there is no benefit in switching to a follow-on formula at six months and that a first formula can stay the main drink through the first year; ask the pediatrician who suggested HA. HA 2 adds iron and calcium per 100 ml, but nothing on the HA 1 tin sets an age at which it stops. ### Can HiPP Dutch HA 2 be used for a cow's milk protein allergy? No. The tin says it must not be used with a cow's milk protein allergy or a suspicion of one; a diagnosed baby needs a formula the doctor chooses. ### Is HiPP Dutch HA 2 the same as the German HA 2? On every value this site records, the two match per 100 ml, with the same 4.5 g scoop to 30 ml of water. The Dutch tin holds 800 g, printed in Dutch and French, and the German box 600 g. ### How many scoops of HiPP Dutch HA 2 for a bottle? One level scoop of 4.5 g for every 30 ml of water. The tin 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. ### Does HiPP Dutch HA 2 prevent allergies? The evidence does not show that it does: ESPGHAN found in 2024 that there is not enough evidence to recommend a hydrolysed formula for preventing cow’s milk allergy. ### Is HiPP Dutch HA 2 approved by the FDA? No. The FDA does not approve infant formulas, and this tin is made for the Dutch market. No HiPP formula is on the FDA's list of formulas marketed in the United States, and the tin has no US nutrition facts panel. ### Is HiPP Dutch HA 2 organic? No. The tin carries no organic logo and no Bio in its name, unlike HiPP's Dutch Bio Combiotik and goat's milk tins. ## 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 · 18 Sept 2026 - Next scheduled check · 18 Oct 2026 1.
