HiPP Comfort Baby Milk Powder Formula, Food for Special Medical Purposes, From birth 800g (Pack of 4)

Product Information

HiPP Comfortis most similar to a US hypoallergenic formula. It has extensively hydrolyzed whey protein (86-87% broken down) and does not contain casein (100:0 ratio). In addition, HiPP Comfort has a reduced lactose content (Learn More: Lactose Free Baby Formula). What’s interesting about HiPP Comfort is that while, in formulation, it is the closest to a US hypoallergenic formula and is more broken down than HiPP HA, it’s technically not labeled as a hypoallergenic formula in the EU for regulatory reasons. Comfort is typically indicated for gassiness, colic and constipation. (Learn More: Best Formula For Gassy Babies). We do, in practice, find that parents seeking a “hypoallergenic” formula have been successful with Comfort, so for those who have babies who are sensitive to both whey and casein, this may be the formula for you!

Unlike European formulas, US formulas use corn syrup, processed sugars, syrup solids, or brown rice addatives. These ingredients represent the carbohydrate component of US baby formulas, and unfortunately these ingredients are ultimately less healthy than natural lactose found in cow's milk.Approx. age of baby: 0-2 weeks; Weight of baby: 3.5kg, 7.5lbs; Single feed preparation level scoops: 3, 90ml; Cooled boiled water: 3fl oz, Feed in 24 hours: 6

Hipp HA is the perfect formula to start with if you suspect a sensitivity or intolerance to cow’s milk or if your little one has been on American hypoallergenic or gentle formula and you are looking for healthier, clean ingredients. Lactose intolerance and cows’ milk allergy are not the same and therefore need to be treated differently. For this reason, it is important that you consult with your GP or healthcare professional and do not self-diagnose. HiPP comes in four stages (stage pre, stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3). Each stage is age specific and needs to be given to a baby of the appropriate age, although some people use "stage pre" and "stage 1" interchangeably. The differences in these stages are meant to mirror a mother's natural breast milk, which also changes as the baby gets older. Examples of these age-specific changes are increased levels of nutrients, as well as changed levels of whey to casein - which are more appropriate for each specific age of your baby.
