Frequently Asked Questions

Q From what age is Holle PRE suitable?
Holle PRE is suitable from birth (0+ months) up to 6 months of age, either as a complete source of nutrition or as a supplement to breastfeeding. Always consult your pediatrician before introducing any formula.
Q How do I prepare Holle PRE formula?
Boil fresh water and cool to approx. 50°C (122°F). Add half the water to the bottle, then add the correct number of leveled scoops (1 scoop = 4.4g). Shake well, add remaining water, shake again, and cool to 37°C (98.6°F) before feeding. Always prepare fresh and never use a microwave.
Q How long does one box of Holle PRE last?
One 400g box contains approximately 91 scoops and makes about 102 fl oz (3 liters) of prepared formula, equivalent to around 20 bottles of 5 oz each. Depending on age and feeding frequency, one box lasts roughly 5-10 days for a newborn.
Q What does "Demeter certified" mean and why does it matter?
Demeter is the world's strictest biodynamic organic certification, going significantly further than standard EU Organic. Demeter farms prohibit all synthetic pesticides, require year-round outdoor access for animals, and ban dehorning - which naturally preserves higher omega fatty acids in the milk. It is the gold standard for clean, ethical farming in Europe.
Q What is the difference between Holle PRE and Holle Stage 1?
The main difference is in carbohydrates. Holle PRE uses only lactose as its carbohydrate source, making it closer to breast milk and easier to digest for newborns. Holle Stage 1 contains a small amount of starch in addition to lactose, which can make feeds slightly more filling for some babies. Both are suitable from birth.
Q What does the expiration date format on the box mean?
Holle uses the European date format: DD/MM/YYYY. So an expiration date printed as "05/09/2026" means September 5, 2026 - not May 9. Please read the date carefully before use. All boxes shipped by Infantiz have a minimum shelf life of 6 months from the date of delivery.
Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for your baby. Breast milk provides all essential nutrients needed for healthy growth and development. Holle Bio PRE is intended as a supplement to or substitute for breastfeeding where medically indicated. Please consult your pediatrician before introducing this or any infant formula.

Advantages
Easy to mix, no clumps, baby has had zero digestive issues since switching, great peace of mind with the Demeter certification
Disadvantages
A bit pricier than US brands, but honestly worth every cent for what you get
Comment
My wife was set on breastfeeding but had to supplement after week three. Our pediatrician approved Holle PRE and we haven't looked back. Now on our third box and ordering a 12-pack next time.

Advantages
Baby took to it immediately, no gas or fussiness at all, love knowing it's Demeter certified with clean ingredients
Disadvantages
Wish it came in an 800g box - the 400g runs out quickly with a hungry newborn
Comment
We tried two other European formulas before finding Holle PRE and this is the one that finally worked. My daughter is 6 weeks old and is thriving. The ingredient list is so clean, exactly what I was looking for.
