Age: 12+ Months
Which formula for a toddler 12+ months?
From 12 months, children can move on to a toddler milk — labelled Stage 3 or Stage 4 depending on the brand (Holle and HiPP German also offer a Stage 4). It's designed as a complementary drink alongside a varied diet of family foods. Choose cow milk or goat milk.
Feeding a toddler (12+ months)
At this age most nutrition comes from family meals. Toddler milk is optional — it can help top up iron, calcium and vitamin D, especially for fussier eaters — and is best offered in a cup rather than a bottle. Follow the amounts on the pack.
Is toddler milk necessary?
Not essential. A varied, balanced diet is the foundation from 12 months; toddler milk is a convenient way to support key nutrients. Your paediatrician can advise if you're unsure.
