Holle A2 is ideal for babies from birth right up until 2 years old. It’s a good choice for any baby, but could be ideal if your baby struggles to digest other formulas.

That’s because the main protein in – A2 beta casein – is the same as in breastmilk (along with goat’s milk, and other animal milks). 

Most cow’s milk contains a different protein – A1 – that some babies struggle to digest. Holle carefully selects cows that naturally produce A2 protein instead. 

Many parents worry about the environmental impact of formula. But Holle formula production actually has a positive impact on the environment – through greenhouse gas reduction and offsetting.

Holle A2 will work well as your baby’s only milk, or to complement breastmilk.

Here’s how we recommend you do it (it’s very similar to any other formula):

1. Sterilize: Use a sterilizer, sterilizing tablets or boiling water.
   
2. Prep the water: Boil water and cool to room temperature. This can take around 40 minutes – use a thermometer if you want to be sure. Pour half the water you need into the bottle.
   
3. Add the powder: Use a measuring scoop (you should get one in the box) to measure the right amount of formula powder. Tip it into the bottle.
   
4. Shake and serve: Shake the bottle, add the rest of the water, and shake again. Now, all you need is a hungry baby…

Keep your baby’s little tummy happy and healthy by following these simple rules:

• Check the expiration date before you use (we only sell formula with at least [x] months left)
• Once you’ve opened the seal on your formula, use it within 3 weeks.
• Prep each bottle fresh, and throw out made-up formula milk after an hour – even if your baby hasn’t drunk much. 
• Don’t use your microwave to heat bottles – this can cause dangerous hot spots (even if you shake)
• Keep formula containers somewhere cool, dark and dry.

Founded in Switzerland in 1934, Holle were, in their own words, ‘sustainable from the beginning’.

They were the first baby food and formula manufacturer to meet the Demeter standard for biodynamic agriculture – following natural, climate-friendly farming cycles. 

The milk they use comes from farms where cows and goats live as naturally as possible – kept in small herds with plenty of space, fed only on natural grass and organic grains.

And though they’re a much-loved international name now, they’re true to their Swiss roots – family owned, and headquartered in the Swiss town of Riehen.

Holle A2 is good for babies from birth to 2 years old. 

It’s particularly good for babies with sensitive tummies, because the proteins in this carefully selected A2 milk are easier to digest (and more similar to breastmilk) than most cow’s milk.

Holle A2 comes in 3 different stages. 

Stage 1 is for babies from birth to 6 months. Stage 2 for 6 to 12 months. And Stage 3 for 12 months+. 

There are some differences – though they’re all nutritionally complete and organic.

Holle A2 formulas, along with Holle Goat formulas, are a great choice for babies with particularly sensitive tummies. Both have a different form of protein (A2 protein) that’s also found in breastmilk.

Completely. Holle is one of the world’s longest-established formula manufacturers. And since they were founded in 1934, they’ve met exceptionally high biodynamic farming standards. 

Holle formula is made using natural, organic milk from small, well-cared for herds. And they use gentle processing methods to keep nutrient levels high. 

Yes. Both contain the A2 protein – just like breastmilk, and other animal milks. 

Most domestic cow’s milk contains a different A1 protein – but a select few domestic cows produce A2 – inherited from their wild ancestors.

It can be – but not always. It depends which components of other cow’s milk formula your baby is allergic to, so we recommend you talk to your doctor. 

Yes. Holle A2 contains DHA and ALA – essential fatty acids that vital to brain development (but missing from some conventional formulas).

Yes. Holle A2 includes the ideal balance of nutrition – proteins, healthy fats and natural carbs – along with essential vitamins including A, C, D, K E and B-complex.

It’s a great choice. It contains the A2 milk protein, also found in breastmilk, making it easier to digest for many babies than most cow’s milk formulas.
