Holle Goat Milk Formula Stage 2

Why Parents Choose Holle Goat Milk Formula Stage 2

When your baby reaches 6 months and begins the exciting journey into solid foods, their nutritional needs evolve. Holle Goat Milk Stage 2 is specifically formulated to complement that transition delivering the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats your growing baby needs, in a form that's naturally easier to digest than conventional cow's milk formulas.

Produced in Switzerland by Holle Europe's oldest organic baby food brand since 1933 this formula carries the prestigious Demeter biodynamic certification, a standard so strict it goes beyond EU organic law. The goats whose milk goes into every tin graze freely on certified biodynamic pastures, raised without growth hormones, antibiotics, or synthetic fertilizers. When you choose Holle, you're choosing a formula with full farm-to-tin transparency.

What Makes Holle Goat Milk Stage 2 Different

Naturally A2 Protein Gentler Digestion by Nature Goat milk naturally contains A2 beta-casein protein the same protein structure found in human breast milk. Unlike A1 protein dominant in most cow's milk, A2 protein forms smaller, softer curds in your baby's stomach, which many parents report leads to less gas, less spitting up, and a more settled, comfortable baby. No additives needed it's just how goat milk works.

Palm Oil-Free Formula Unlike many European and American formulas that use palm oil to approximate the fat profile of breast milk, Holle Goat Milk Stage 2 is completely palm oil-free. Palm oil, while nutritionally sound, has been associated with harder stools and reduced calcium absorption in some babies. Holle uses a carefully balanced blend of organic vegetable oils sunflower, rapeseed, and coconut for optimal fat absorption without compromise.

Whole Goat Milk Not Skimmed Most formula manufacturers use skimmed or partially skimmed milk and then add fats back in. Holle uses whole organic goat milk as its base preserving the naturally occurring fat profile, vitamins, and micronutrients as nature intended. Less processing, more nutrition.

Demeter Biodynamic Certified  The World's Highest Organic Standard The Demeter logo means the farming practices go beyond simply avoiding pesticides. Biodynamic farming treats the farm as a self-sustaining ecosystem maintaining soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare as a unified system. Fewer than 5% of organic farms worldwide achieve Demeter certification. When you see it on Holle, you know you're holding something genuinely exceptional.

EU Organic Certified — No GMOs, No Corn Syrup, No Compromise Every Holle formula meets the stringent EU Organic regulation (EU 2018/848), which bans GMOs, synthetic pesticides, growth hormones, and chemical fertilizers across the entire supply chain. Holle's carbohydrates come from organic lactose not corn syrup, rice syrup, or glucose syrup for a gentle, natural energy source that mirrors the carbohydrate composition of breast milk.

Holle Goat Milk Stage 2 — Key Features at a Glance

What's Inside: Key Ingredients Explained

Organic Whole Goat Milk The hero ingredient. Rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, D, B2, and B12, plus calcium and phosphorus. Whole goat milk's naturally small fat globules and A2 casein profile are what give this formula its exceptional digestibility.

Organic Lactose The primary carbohydrate identical to the dominant sugar in breast milk. Lactose supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (Lactobacillus) and helps your baby absorb calcium more efficiently. You'll find no corn syrup or added sugars here.

Organic Vegetable Oils (Sunflower, Rapeseed, Coconut) A precision-blended, palm-oil-free fat complex that mirrors the fatty acid composition of breast milk including the Omega-3 and Omega-6 ratio essential for brain and eye development.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) Mandated by EU law in all infant formulas unlike American standards. DHA is a critical Omega-3 fatty acid supporting brain development, cognitive function, and visual acuity throughout the first years of life.

Calcium, Iron & Vitamin D3 Stage 2 formulas are specifically calibrated with higher iron and calcium levels to support the rapid skeletal growth and brain development occurring between 6 and 12 months.

Holle Goat Milk Stage 2 is formulated for babies with mild cow's milk sensitivity, not confirmed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).
