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 4 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.

Impressive product!

We started out with the formulas in the big box stores thinking they were good and had nothing but issues. Then we started to educate ourselves and learned that those are causing a lot of inflammation and are terrible for babies. So we came across organic ones, and started trying them out. So far, this has been the best one.

Holle German Stage 1 Cow Milk Formula (400 gr. / 14 oz.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Holle Cow is good for babies from birth to 2 years old. It’s designed to provide the ideal balance of nutrients, with an especially high ratio of DHA and ALA for healthy brain development. 

From stage 2 (6 months+) onwards, Holle Cow includes a healthy, organic starch – ideal for keeping hungry babies satisfied as they learn to crawl and walk.

Holle Cow comes in 5 different stages. 

For newborns, choose Stage Pre (0-3 months) or Stage 1 (0-6 months). Stage Pre is a little easier for sensitive tummies to digest, and Stage 1 a bit more filling. 

Stage 2 is for 6-10 months, Stage 3 for 10-12 months and Stage 4 is for 12 months+.

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

Holle Cow formulas are a great choice for most babies. But for those with particularly sensitive tummies – Holle Goat or Holle A2 could be a better choice. 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. Holle Cow contains especially high ratios of DHA and ARA – essential fatty acids that are vital to brain development (but are missing from some conventional formulas).

Yes. Holle Cow 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, with a balance of carbs, proteins and fats that makes it as close to breastmilk as possible. Stage Pre and Stage 1 are also starch-free (because some younger babies find starch hard to digest). 

Yes. Holle is designed to keep hungry babies happy, with easy-to-digest organic starch included from Stage 2.

We ship worldwide within 2-5 business days, however delivery can occasionally take up to 10 days (due to customs procedures). If you’d prefer not to have to think about delivery times, start a subscription – we’ll send your formula automatically so you never run out.

For most customers, yes. Subscriptions give you free shipping on every order, plus a 5% discount (and you can save as much as 30% if you combine with our bundles). 

And since formula is something you need regularly, a subscription means you never have to remember to put in an order. If your baby’s appetite changes (or they get too big for formula), you can change or cancel in minutes in your dashboard.
