HiPP Comfort Anti-Colic Specialty Formula
Reduced Lactose & Hydrolyzed Protein (Birth to 12 Months)
⚡ Quick Answer
HiPP Comfort reduces gas and colic through 47% reduced lactose plus partially hydrolyzed protein for easier digestion—ideal for fussy, gassy babies with digestive sensitivity. GOS prebiotics and reduced lactose minimize fermentation in the gut, while hydrolyzed protein breaks down faster than whole protein. Not hypoallergenic (use HiPP HA for allergies), but effective for colic/gas relief.
How does HiPP Comfort reduce colic and gas?
HiPP Comfort combines 47% reduced lactose with partially hydrolyzed protein—both changes reduce gut fermentation that causes gas, bloating, and colic discomfort.
Excessive lactose can ferment in baby's intestine producing gas. Reducing lactose by nearly half decreases this fermentation. Additionally, breaking protein into smaller pieces (hydrolysis) speeds digestion, giving bacteria less time to produce gas. GOS prebiotics further support healthy gut bacteria balance.
Parents report reduced crying, less gas, and calmer babies within 24-48 hours of switching. However, if your baby has diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy, use HiPP HA (hypoallergenic) instead—Comfort still contains milk protein.
