About HiPP German HA Stage 2
HiPP HA German Hydrolyzed Stage 2 Combiotic Follow-On Formula is tailor made to help babies who suffer from sensitivity to cow's milk protein, such as skin problems, hay fever-like symptoms, and digestion problems caused by ingredients in other baby formulas. HiPP HA German Stage 2 is suitable for babies aged six months and older, and can be used on its own as a breast milk substitute, or as a replacement to breast feeding.
This formula is similar to other hypoallergenic formulas. How is this formula made to by hydrolyzed? HiPP HA Stage 2 contains long chain milk proteins that have been hydrolyzed into smaller pieces, excluding casein from the cow's milk. Smaller whey protein is easier to digest, and therefore has a lower risk of adverse reactions to allergenic ingredients found naturally in milk. Since the hydrolysis process makes milk less viscous, for improved consistency, a small amount of starch has been added in order to keep the formula from being too runny. Because HiPP HA Stage 2 is based on cow's milk, it is rich with lactose in the same way that breast milk is.
This all natural formula has naturally occurring omega-e and omega-6 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, including AA and DHA, which are essential in the development of brain and eye tissue. Similar to natural breast milk, HiPP HA Stage 2 also contains probiotics and prebiotics, which helps develop a baby's gut microbiome.
HiPP HA German Stage 2 is free of any soy, corn syrup, sugar, GMO's, artificial sweeteners, or synthetic preservatives. This formula is a natural transition from HiPP HA German Stage 1 or HiPP HA German Stage PRE.
Organic Life Start works directly with HiPP in Germany to deliver fresh baby formula that has a long expiration date of six months or more. Each shelf-stable box of HiPP HA German Stage 2 contains 600 grams (21.2 oz) of formula powder, which yields approximately 130 fluid ounces of prepared formula.
Why is this formula not organic? HiPP HA German Stage 2 contains hydrolyzed milk proteins, which cannot be certified as organic because they aren't available in organic form. All other ingredients in HiPP HA German Stage 1 are organic.
Important note: HiPP HA German Stage 2 should not be used as a medical treatment. HiPP HA German Stage 2 is a specialty formula that is designed to be gentler than other formulas but may not be suitable for babies diagnosed with a protein allergy. Please discuss any of your baby's medical conditions with your pediatrician.
