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
Check Temperature
Baby formula is ready for feeding when it reaches body temperature (~98°F). You may cool the formula in the refrigerator in order to reach this desired temperature, and you can test the formula on your forearm to make sure it isn't too hot. Use the formula immediately after preparation.

Important Feeding Information
Each baby formula uses different mixing proportions. Only use the scoop that is included in your formula.

Do not prepare feeds in advance. In order to maintain maximum nutritional value, use the feeds immediately and dispose of any leftovers feed.

This biodynamic organic formula offers one of the cleanest ingredients lists while being incredibly nutritious and supportive of a balanced diet for babies from birth onward. Holle Bio Stage PRE Organic Infant Milk Formula can be used on its own or as a supplement to breast milk.
Holle created this infant formula for the health conscious parent who is looking to substitute a significant proportion of fats that would otherwise originate from vegetable oil, replaced with Demeter certified milk fat instead.
Holle Bio Stage PRE is based on biodynamic organic whole milk, organic lactose, organic whey powder, essential vitamins and minerals, and contains DHA for improved brain development.
