Probiotics, starch, and
the most complete organic formula.
Everything parents love about HiPP's Combiotic line - live gut cultures, Metafolin, and DHA - with organic starch added for babies who need extra satiety from birth.
Four reasons it goes further
Starch for Longer Satiety
Organic starch thickens the formula, helping hungry babies stay fuller between feeds. If your newborn drains bottles quickly, this is the Combiotic formula to start with.
Probiotic Cultures - Hereditum
Clinically studied Limosilactobacillus fermentum Hereditum cultures support gut microbiome balance and immune development - added after processing to stay alive and active.
13.4mg DHA per 100ml
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil for brain and visual development through the most critical period of neural growth in your baby's first 6 months.
Metafolin - Active Folate
Calcium L-methylfolate - the bioavailable folate form that works for all babies, including those with MTHFR gene variations that limit folic acid conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I start with Stage 1 Combiotic or PRE Combiotic for my newborn?
Both deliver the same probiotic cultures and Metafolin - the Combiotic advantages are identical. The only difference is starch. PRE Combiotic has no starch and a lighter, thinner consistency that mirrors breast milk most closely. Stage 1 Combiotic adds 1.0g of organic starch, making it creamier and more filling. If your baby seems satisfied on lighter formula, start with PRE. If they drain bottles and seem hungry quickly, Stage 1 is the better fit from day one.
What is the difference between Stage 1 Combiotic and Stage 1 Organic?
The macronutrient profile is nearly identical - same starch, similar DHA, same GOS prebiotics. Stage 1 Combiotic adds two things: live lactic acid cultures (Hereditum probiotics) and Metafolin in place of standard folic acid. For babies with healthy digestion and no specific gut concerns, Stage 1 Organic is excellent. If you want the additional gut and folate benefits, Stage 1 Combiotic is worth the premium.
Can I mix Stage 1 Combiotic with breast milk?
You can top up a breastfeed with formula in a separate bottle, but it is not recommended to mix formula powder directly into expressed breast milk. The ratio of formula to water must be precise for your baby to receive the correct nutrient concentration. Use formula and breast milk as separate feeds rather than combining them.
Why is the water temperature important for Combiotic formulas?
The live lactic acid cultures added to Combiotic formula are sensitive to high heat. Standard preparation guidelines recommend 70°C water to eliminate potential bacteria in formula powder. HiPP recommends 40-50°C for Combiotic to protect the live cultures. If you have concerns about bacterial safety, speak to your pediatrician who can advise on the safest preparation method for your baby's age and health status.
How long does one box last?
One 600g box makes approximately 44 bottles of 100ml. At the newborn stage with 60-90ml bottles and 6-8 feeds per day, a box lasts around 8-10 days. At 3-4 months with 150-180ml bottles, expect 6-7 days. Stocking up with a bundle is the most practical and cost-effective approach - our 12-box option is particularly popular with parents who want to reduce the per-box cost significantly.
When do I switch to Stage 2 Combiotic?
At around 6 months, when your baby begins eating solid foods, HiPP Stage 2 Combiotic is the appropriate next step. Stage 2 provides double the iron (1.0mg vs 0.60mg per 100ml) to compensate for the natural depletion of maternal iron stores that occurs at this age, plus higher calcium for growing bones - while keeping the same probiotic and Metafolin benefits you're used to.
Important: Breast milk is best for babies. HiPP Stage 1 Combiotic is suitable as a complete breast milk substitute or supplement from birth. Prepare with freshly boiled water cooled to 40-50°C to preserve live cultures. Always follow preparation instructions on the packaging. Consult your pediatrician before changing your baby's formula.
