Hipp German Cow Stage 2
What is HiPP German Stage 2?
Stage 2 is a follow-on formula for babies from around six months who have started eating solid foods. It can be used alongside a varied weaning diet as one part of your baby's daily nutrition.
What changes at Stage 2?
From around six months a baby's natural iron stores start to run low, so follow-on formulas like Stage 2 are adjusted with higher iron and a nutrient balance suited to this stage. It's designed to complement solids rather than replace them.
Available formats
- Bio Combiotic (600 g powder) — the classic recipe with prebiotics.
- No Starch Combiotic (600 g) — for babies who don't need the added thickener.
- Pure (500 g powder) — starch-free, palm-oil-free, whole milk fat.
- Ready to Feed (200 ml) — pre-mixed for convenience.
Feeding guide (6–12 months)
As solid meals increase, milk feeds usually reduce but remain an important part of the diet. Follow the feeding table on the pack for the number and size of feeds at your baby's age, alongside their solid meals.
How to prepare HiPP Stage 2
Prepare each bottle fresh with previously boiled water cooled as directed, using the exact scoop-to-water ratio, and discard any leftover formula.
