HIPP TODDLER FORMULA

HiPP formulas contain an exclusive combination of both Probiotics and HiPP Prebiotics, clinically proven to help infants develop and maintain healthy gut microbiota. Probiotics: Lactobacillus fermentum (L.fermentum) are natural lactic acid producing microorganisms. HiPP COMBIOTIC® is the only formula brand that uses this probiotic which has not been genetically modified. Prebiotics: Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) is an organic prebiotic that functions as "food" for probiotics and is derived from natural lactose.

Standard cow's milk is often too high in protein and saturated fats for a toddler's kidneys, while being remarkably low in Iron, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 (DHA). HiPP Toddler Milks are specifically "staged" to fill these nutritional gaps. They provide 20x more iron than cow's milk to support cognitive development and utilize a refined protein ratio that is gentler on the digestive system, ensuring your child receives a "nutritional safety net" during the picky-eating phase.

The primary difference is the mineral density adjusted for age. Stage 3 (12+ Months): Focuses on the transition from infant formula, providing a high level of Vitamin D and Calcium for rapid bone growth. Stage 4 (24+ Months): Known as "Growing Up Milk," it is slightly lower in calories but maintains high levels of Iodine and Iron. Stage 4 is designed to be a healthy drink alongside family meals, whereas Stage 3 still acts as a significant meal replacement for toddlers who haven't fully transitioned to solids.

Yes. Just like their infant stages, HiPP’s toddler line utilizes Metafolin® (Calcium−L−methylfolate). Unlike synthetic folic acid found in most store-bought milks and domestic formulas, Metafolin is the active form of folate that the body can use immediately. This is crucial for a toddler's continued cell division and nervous system development, ensuring that even children with genetic conversion limitations receive optimal brain support.

HiPP Toddler formulas are strictly prohibited from using refined sugars, corn syrups, or glucose solids. They utilize Organic Lactose as the primary carbohydrate source, which is the natural sugar found in breast milk. This is vital for toddlers as it prevents the "insulin spikes" associated with domestic toddler drinks and ensures your child doesn't develop an early preference for hyper-sweetened beverages.

Absolutely. While infants often prefer warm milk, toddlers are usually accustomed to varied temperatures. HiPP Toddler Milk can be served warm, at room temperature, or even cold from the fridge once mixed. Because it is often served in a sippy cup or open cup rather than a bottle, serving it cold makes it an easy, refreshing accompaniment to meals, similar to how they would consume regular dairy.
