How much Holle Stage 2 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 2 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 baby uses 3.5 boxes of Holle Stage 2 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 2 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.

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 2 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

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 Bio Stage 2 — The Organic Follow-On Formula for Growing Babies
Holle Bio Stage 2 is a premium organic follow-on formula for babies 6 months and older. It perfectly bridges the transition to solid foods while still providing the essential milk-based nutrition.
It's the natural next step after Holle Stage 1 or PRE, offering a smooth switch for breastfed babies or those moving from other brands. Tailored to a 6+ month-old's evolving needs, it delivers balanced energy and nutrients for growing activity and curiosity.
The clean-label Holle Bio 2 ingredients speak for themselves: no GMOs, no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, no soy, and no added sugar. The gentle carbohydrates come from organic maltodextrin, which is easy on sensitive stomachs.
With the roots dating back to the 1930s, Holle has spent nearly a century perfecting additive-free, biodynamic nutrition. Choosing Holle Bio Stage 2 means trusting a brand that has always put purity first, giving your baby the cleanest start possible.
Key Benefits of Holle Stage 2 for Your Baby
Holle Bio infant formula is designed for babies from 6 months, delivering the balanced nutrition tailored to their growing needs. It provides the essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin D for strong bones and iron for healthy blood development. The ideal mix of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats fuels energy for crawling, exploring, and learning.
This Holle Bio Combiotik 2 formula includes DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid vital for brain and vision development, meeting the latest EU standards. The prebiotic fibers (GOS) support a healthy gut microbiome, promoting easier digestion and a stronger immune system.
Made with clean, Demeter-certified organic ingredients and no GMOs, Holle Stage 2 is gentle and easy to digest. The parent Holle Bio 2 Folgemilch reviews consistently praise its smooth transition from Stage 1 and excellent tolerability. It's a trusted choice as the sole nutrition or alongside the first solids.
Transitioning from Stage 1 to Stage 2
The transition from a Stage 1 (birth to six months) formula to Stage 2 (six months and up) is usually quite simple. It should happen when your baby turns six months old. By this age, their digestive system is more mature and ready for the slightly higher nutrient density of Stage 2.
It's a good idea to introduce the Stage 2 formula gradually to avoid any potential digestive upset. Sudden changes can sometimes shock a baby's stomach. A good plan is to mix the formulas for a few days.
Start by substituting one scoop of Stage 1 formula with one scoop of Stage 2 for the first few bottles of the day. On the second day, you can increase the ratio to two scoops of Stage 2 for every scoop of Stage 1. By the third or fourth day, your baby should be ready for a full Stage 2 bottle.
Always watch your baby for any signs of discomfort, such as increased gas, fussiness, or changes in stool. If you see any concerns, slow down the transition and talk to your pediatrician. Following the Holle Bio Stage 2 preparation instructions is key to a smooth switch.
Holle Stage 2 Goat Milk Option
Holle understands that every baby is unique, and some may do better on the goat's milk formula. This is why Holle offers the Holle Bio Stage 2 goat milk instructions option. It's a fantastic choice for babies who may prefer goat milk or have cow's milk protein sensitivities.
The Holle goat milk formula shares the same high standards as the cow's milk version. It's made with pure, organic ingredients, is GMO-free, and avoids artificial additives. Nutritionally, it's very similar and contains the necessary vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, such as DHA.
The main difference is the protein structure. Goat milk naturally has smaller fat globules and lower levels of certain proteins, making it easier to digest for some babies. The protein forms softer structures in the stomach, leading to a gentler experience for sensitive babies. The taste is naturally mild and pleasing to many babies.
If you're looking for an organic, gentle alternative, Holle Bio Stage 2 goat formula is an excellent choice.
How to Prepare Holle Bio Stage 2
Proper preparation is essential for your baby's safety and health. You must always follow the instructions exactly. Holle Stage 2 formula is very easy to prepare:
Step 1: Boil the Water. Bring the required amount of fresh water to a rolling boil.
Step 2: Cool Down. Let the water cool down to about 122°F (50°C). This is the ideal temperature for mixing.
Step 3: Measure Water. Pour the correct amount of water into a clean bottle. Always follow the ratio listed on the package.
Step 4: Measure Formula. Use the scoop provided in the box and level off each scoop gently with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop. For Holle Formula Stage 2, the general rule is one level scoop for every 30 ml (1 oz) of water.
Step 5: Mix Well. Close the bottle and shake it well until the powder is fully dissolved.
Step 6: Check Temperature. Cool the prepared bottle to the drinking temperature (about 98.6°F or body temperature) by holding it under cold running water. Always test a few drops on your wrist before feeding your baby. It should feel warm, not hot.
Storage, Shelf Life, and Expiration Dates
Understanding how to store your baby's formula is important for maintaining its quality. Holle Bio Stage 2 is shelf-stable before it's opened. You should store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight. A pantry or cupboard is an ideal location.
Holle is a European brand, so the expiration date on the package will be in the European format: Day/Month/Year (DD/MM/YYYY). Make sure you check this date carefully. The formula is typically shelf-stable for six months or more, with the specific shelf life printed on the box. Never use a formula that has passed its expiration date.
Once you open the box of Holle Bio Stage 2, the rules change. The opened formula should be used within two to three weeks. After this time, the freshness and nutritional quality may start to decrease. Always close the inner foil bag tightly after each use. A clip or an airtight container can help maintain the freshness.
Remember to follow all the storage instructions on the packaging to ensure your baby receives the best-quality nutrition.
Choosing the Right Quantity for Your Baby
A general calculation can help you estimate your needs. First, look at the feeding table on the Holle Stage 2 formula box. It will tell you how many bottles are suggested per day and how many ounces each bottle should contain.
Example calculation: The box suggests 5 bottles per day. Each box of Holle Stage 2 typically makes about 130 fluid ounces of prepared formula.
If your baby drinks 6 ounces per bottle, that's 30 ounces per day (5 bottles x 6 ounces). A single box will last about 4.3 days (130 ounces ÷ 30 ounces per day). To cover a full month (30 days), you'd need about 7 boxes (30 days ÷ 4.3 days per box).
This is an estimate, and it's often a good idea to have an extra box on hand to prevent rush orders. Checking the Holle Bio Folgemilch 2 reviews from other parents can also give you a rough idea of usage and help ensure you're well-stocked for your baby's needs.
