How much Holle Stage PRE Organic should you buy? The estimate for how many units of formula you'll need is based on an assumption that baby formula is the primary source of nutrition within your baby's diet, and takes into account Holle Stage PRE Organic packaging and scoop sizes, as well as the Holle's recommended dosage at each age. Unless stated "per month", the calculation is a total for the entire age bracket. On average, a typical infant uses 8 boxes of Holle Stage PRE Organic per month, when fed using Holle's feeding instructions. If you supplement with breast milk or other foods, your calculation may be different. Always follow your pediatricians advice for feeding instructions that are unique to your baby.
Holle Stage PRE Organic Expiration Date: Please note that Holle uses the European expiration date notation, which reads DD/MM/YYYY (day/month/year). This European date format is different to the MM/DD/YYYY format more commonly found in North America. You can learn more about European expiration dates in our Holle Expiration Date guide.
The manufacturer may change its packaging style at any moment without notice. Always follow the instructions found on your packaging, even if they differ to the above instructions. We are not able to ship a preferred packaging style since the manufacturer decides which style they will be making in a given batch.
Human breast milk contains all of the essential ingredients your baby needs for growth and development. Before starting any supplemental feeding using baby formula, consult with your pediatrician to discuss the best options for your little one.
Please note that this product is manufactured to meet European standards for iron and other nutritional values. These requirements may differ by country, as there is no global standard for such nutritional values. Customers in Australia, Canada, the US, and China may require additional supplements to meet local nutritional guidance.
Holle Bio Stage PRE Formula Instructions
01
Sterilize
Begin by washing your hands and sterilizing your equipment and workspace. In order to kill off any residual bacteria that may be in your water, boil 1 liter of water and leave it to cool for up to 30 minutes.
02
Check Feeding Chart
Read the feeding chart relevant to your specific formula. Depending on your baby's age, add the corresponding water and formula ratios. Use the formula scoop provided inside of your box so as to ensure accurate measurements.
03
Prepare
Close the bottle with a sterilized cap and shake vigorously until all formula powder has been dissolved and no lumps remain. We recommend placing a nipple cap over the bottle top so as to avoid touching it with your hands.
04

Holle Pre Formula — Premium Organic Infant Nutrition from Birth
Choosing the right formula for your new baby is an important decision. Many parents look for the purest, most natural start they can provide. Holle Bio is a brand trusted for generations, offering high-quality organic baby food since 1933. Their focus on biodynamic farming sets them apart in the world of infant nutrition. The Holle Bio Pre formula is carefully designed to meet the nutritional needs of newborns from day one.
Holle Pre formula is full of clean, simple, and wholesome ingredients. It adheres to the strict Demeter-certified biodynamic farming standards that go beyond the standard organic requirements. This commitment ensures a formula free of unnecessary additives. Parents can be confident that Bio Pre is GMO-free, soy-free, and starch-free. It also contains no artificial preservatives or colors.
The key nutrients in this formula include organic whole milk and organic lactose, the natural carbohydrate found in breast milk. It also contains the essential vitamins and minerals crucial for healthy growth. Importantly, it includes DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid vital for brain and vision development.
Whether you use Holle formula Pre as the primary source of nutrition or as a breastfeeding supplement, it offers a reliable option. The gentle composition of Holle Bio Pre Anfangsmilch is easy for tiny stomachs to digest, providing parents with peace of mind. Its transparency and pure ingredients make it a preferred choice for many families.
Nutritional Advantages of Holle Bio Pre
The early months of life are a period of rapid growth and brain development for a baby. The nutritional profile of Holle Bio Pre formula supports this crucial time. One standout feature is the inclusion of DHA. This essential fatty acid is naturally present in breast milk and vital for the optimal nervous system and eyesight development.
Holle ensures the formula contains a balanced mix of vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are necessary for a baby's bone health, immune function, and healthy growth. The use of biodynamic milk fat is important because it provides a natural source of fat. Fat is essential for energy and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
The ingredient list for this product focuses on organic, additive-free ingredients. This choice is significant because clean ingredients can be easier on a newborn's developing digestive system. The simplicity and purity of the Holle Bio Pre ingredients can help support a healthy gut.
By choosing the Demeter-certified milk, Holle ensures that the cows are raised sustainably. This commitment to quality permeates the entire production process of Holle Bio formula, resulting in premium infant nutrition.
Why Holle Bio Pre Is Ideal for Newborns
Holle formula Pre is specifically designed for feeding babies from birth onward. Its composition mirrors the natural carbohydrates in breast milk by using lactose as the primary sugar source. This makes the formula very gentle and highly digestible for an infant's immature digestive system. The "Pre" designation means you can feed it on demand without a specific limit.
This formula is an excellent option for parents seeking clean, natural, and quality nutrition. It meets the needs of those who want to avoid the common additives and potential irritants. The decision to exclude soy and starch from the recipe is a key factor. Starch can be harder for very young babies to digest and may contribute to unnecessary weight gain.
By omitting these ingredients, Holle Bio Pre remains pure and easy to process. It's a formula built on the principles of simple, high-quality, organic nutrition.
Preparing Holle Pre Formula Safely
Correct preparation is key to ensuring your baby receives the full nutritional benefits from Holle Bio Pre. It's also crucial for maintaining their health.
Step 1: Prepare Your Hands and Equipment. Always start by thoroughly washing your hands and sterilizing all the feeding equipment, including the bottles, nipples, and the mixing cup.
Step 2: Heat the Water. Heat the required amount of water to around 40°C to 50°C (104°F to 122°F). The specific scoop size and water ratios are provided on the packaging.
Step 3: Pour Half the Water. Pour half of the heated water into the bottle.
Step 4: Measure the Powder. Use the provided scoop to measure the required amount of powder, leveling it gently with a clean knife edge.
Step 5: Mix the Formula. Add the powder to the water, then shake the bottle well until fully dissolved. Then add the remaining water and shake again.
Step 6: Cool to Drinking Temperature. Before feeding, cool the formula to the drinking temperature (about 37°C or 98°F). Hold the bottle under cold running water to cool it quickly. Always test the temperature on the inside of your wrist before feeding.
You can find the detailed information on the scoop size, water ratios, and suggested feeding amounts directly on the box. It's vital to follow these guidelines carefully. Following the Holle Bio Pre instructions is essential for your baby's safety and health. The Holle Bio Pre English instructions are usually available on or inside the box or on the retailer's website. However, always consult your doctor for guidance on your baby's feeding needs.
Storage, Expiration, and Packaging Information
Proper storage and careful attention to the expiration dates are essential for maintaining the freshness and safety of the formula. Once you open the box of Holle Bio Pre, use it within 2 to 3 weeks. The powdered formula is shelf-stable until the expiration date printed on the box.
Parents need to understand the European date format often used on Holle products. This format is typically DD/MM/YYYY (Day/Month/Year). Always check the packaging to confirm the correct expiration date before opening.
Store the formula in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing it near the heat sources, such as a stove or radiator, and keep it out of direct sunlight. Do not store the formula in the refrigerator, as this can introduce moisture and cause clumping.
Holle may use slightly different packaging variations depending on the country of import. However, the quality of the Holle Pre formula inside remains consistent due to their strict quality controls. Always read and follow the specific instructions on the packaging for the batch you purchased.
Estimating How Much Holle Pre Formula You Need
When starting with Holle formula feeding, figuring out how many boxes you need each month can be challenging. The amount your baby needs changes as they grow. It also depends on whether you're exclusively formula-feeding or supplementing the breast milk.
For a baby fed exclusively with Holle Bio formula, the consumption will increase significantly in the first few months. A standard box contains a specific number of servings. You'll need to calculate the approximate number of bottles your baby drinks daily and multiply by 30 days. Then divide that total by the number of servings per box:
Newborns (0–1 month): They typically take smaller, more frequent feeds.
Older Infants: They drink larger volumes per feed but may not increase the total daily volume as quickly.
If you use Holle Pre formula to supplement breastfeeding, you'll need far fewer boxes. It's best to consult the feeding chart on the product box. It offers guidelines based on your baby's age and weight. However, these are just estimates.
It's always wise to keep an extra box or two on hand. Tracking your baby's consumption for a week will give you a good average to base your monthly order on.
