HiPP Bio Stage PRE

HiPP PRE formula is designed for infants from birth up to 6 months of age. It is often recommended for newborns due to its closer resemblance to breast milk and is suitable for both healthy infants and those with specific dietary needs, such as premature babies. This formula is lactose-based and does not contain added starch, making it easier to digest for young infants.

The primary difference between HiPP PRE and HiPP Stage 1 formulas lies in their formulation and intended use. HiPP PRE is designed for newborns from birth to 6 months, featuring a lighter composition that mimics breast milk and is easier to digest, making it suitable for very young infants or those who are exclusively formula-fed. In contrast, HiPP Stage 1 is also suitable from birth to 6 months but is typically introduced after the first few weeks when a more satiating formula is needed; it contains lactose and added starches for carbohydrate sources, providing a more filling option for growing infants. Both formulas offer high-quality nutrition, but HiPP Stage 1 is tailored for slightly older infants who require additional energy and nutrients as they grow.

The difference between HiPP PRE and HiPP Stage 2 formulas primarily lies in their intended age range and nutritional composition. HiPP PRE is designed for newborns from birth up to 3 months, focusing on easy digestion with a formulation that mimics breast milk and contains no starch, making it gentle on tiny tummies. In contrast, HiPP Stage 2 is suitable for infants aged 6 to 12 months and includes a higher protein content (60% casein and 40% whey) along with added iron and calcium to support the nutritional needs of more active babies as they begin to explore solid foods. Additionally, Stage 2 may contain starch, providing a more filling option for older infants who require additional energy for their developmental milestones.

HiPP Combiotic offers several benefits for infants, primarily focusing on digestive health and overall nutrition. It contains a unique blend of prebiotics (GOS) and probiotics (L. fermentum), which support the development of a healthy gut microbiome, aiding digestion and enhancing immune function. The formula is crafted from high-quality organic ingredients, free from artificial additives, ensuring that it closely resembles breast milk in composition. Additionally, HiPP Combiotic is fortified with essential nutrients like DHA, calcium, and iron to promote optimal growth and development in infants. Its organic certification also assures parents of its safety and quality, making it a trusted choice for infant nutrition.

To prepare HiPP PRE formula, follow these steps: Boil Water: Bring the required amount of water to a rolling boil and then allow it to cool to a temperature between 104°F and 122°F (40°C to 50°C). Measure Water: Pour three-quarters of the cooled boiled water into a sterilized bottle. Add Formula: Using the included measuring spoon, add the appropriate number of level scoops of HiPP PRE formula based on the desired amount of mixed formula (e.g., for 2.3 oz of mixed formula, use 2 oz of water and 2 scoops of formula). Mix: Close the bottle and shake it vigorously until the powder is completely dissolved. Then, add the remaining quarter of the boiled water to reach the total desired volume. Check Temperature: Before feeding, ensure the formula is at a safe temperature (around 98.6°F) by testing it on your wrist. Always ensure that all equipment is properly sterilized before preparation to minimize any risk of contamination.
