German Pre Organic Combiotik Formula from Birth (600g)

About this formula

This is HiPP PRE Bio Combiotik as sold in Germany and Austria, in a 600 g folding box printed in German. HiPP's label calls it organic infant formula (Bio-Anfangsmilch) for use from birth, and says it is made in Germany.

The ingredient list begins with skimmed milk, whey product, vegetable oils (palm, rapeseed, sunflower) and lactose, marked as from organic farming. Lactose is the main carbohydrate; it also contains galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) made from lactose, the lactic-acid culture Limosilactobacillus fermentum CECT5716, folate as calcium L-methylfolate (Metafolin), fish oil and Mortierella alpina oil.

Selected nutrition, per 100 ml

Made up as the label states, 12.9 g of powder with 90 ml of water gives 100 ml: 66 kcal, fat 3.6 g, carbohydrate 7.0 g (lactose 6.9 g), protein 1.28 g, GOS 0.3 g, DHA 13.2 mg, ARA 13.2 mg.

Preparing and storing

Follow the full preparation instructions and feeding table printed on your pack; this is a summary, not a replacement. The label says to boil drinking water and let it cool to about 40-50 °C, to use only the scoop in the pack, filled loosely and levelled (one scoop, about 4.3 g, for every 30 ml of water), to make each bottle just before the feed and feed it straight away, not to reuse leftovers and not to warm it in a microwave.

Powdered formula is not sterile. The CDC advises extra care for babies younger than 2 months, born prematurely or with a weakened immune system; ask your pediatrician how to prepare feeds for them. Once opened, close the inner bag well, keep it dry at room temperature and use it within 3 weeks. The best-before date is on the bottom of the pack.

The temperature on this label is lower than the 70 °C (158 °F) the CDC gives for killing bacteria such as Cronobacter in powdered formula; ask your pediatrician which method to use.
