Why choose HiPP Dutch over UK or German?
HiPP Dutch is often called the "best of both worlds" because it combines the starch-free recipe of HiPP UK with the probiotic-enriched formula of HiPP German.
Many parents prefer HiPP Dutch because it avoids starch (which can be harder for some babies to digest) while still including Lactobacillus fermenturn—the beneficial probiotic cultures naturally found in breastmilk. Additionally, HiPP Dutch comes in a 800g metal tin which is easier to stack, store, and scoop from compared to the cardboard boxes used for the UK and German versions.

When to transition to Stage 2?
Transition at 6 months when your baby starts solid foods. HiPP Dutch Stage 2 is formulated with higher iron content to meet the increased nutritional demands of older babies.
While Stage 1 is excellent, babies' natural iron stores begin to deplete around 6 months. Stage 2 ensures they get the necessary iron, calcium, and vitamins to support their rapid growth and activity levels during the second half of their first year. The transition is usually seamless as the base ingredients remain very similar.
