Formulas for Gassy Babies

Not all infant formulas are the same. Standard cow's milk formulas work well for most babies, but some infants show signs of digestive discomfort that may be related to how their system processes certain proteins, lactose, or fat structures. Choosing a formula better suited to your baby's digestive needs may help reduce gas, bloating, and fussiness — always in consultation with your pediatrician.

• Comfort Formulas: Designed for the dietary management of colic, gas, and digestive discomfort. Typically feature partially hydrolyzed protein and reduced lactose to ease digestion.
• HA (Hydrolyzed) Formulas: Use extensively hydrolyzed protein, which may be easier to tolerate for babies with mild protein sensitivity. Not a treatment for confirmed allergy — consult your doctor.
• Goat Milk Formulas: Goat milk protein forms a softer curd in the stomach compared to standard cow's milk, which some families find gentler. Not suitable as an alternative for confirmed cow's milk protein allergy.
• Anti-Reflux Formulas: Thickened to help feeds stay down, designed for babies who spit up frequently alongside gas and discomfort.

For a full breakdown by symptom pattern, see our guide: Best Formula for Gas: How to Choose the Right Infant Formula for a Gassy Baby.

This collection includes four main formula types, each addressing different aspects of digestive discomfort in infants.

Comfort Formulas

Comfort formulas are specifically designed for the dietary management of colic, gas, lactose-related constipation, and digestive discomfort. They typically combine partially hydrolyzed protein with reduced lactose and a modified fat structure to support easier digestion.

• HiPP Special Comfort: Features hydrolyzed protein, reduced lactose, and HiPP's Combiotic® blend of prebiotics and probiotics. Suitable from birth under medical supervision.

HA (Hypoallergenic) Formulas

HA formulas use extensively hydrolyzed protein, breaking down milk proteins into smaller fragments that may be easier for sensitive systems to tolerate. These are designed for babies at higher risk of allergy or with mild protein sensitivity — not as a treatment for confirmed cow's milk protein allergy.

• HiPP HA Combiotic: Available in Stage PRE, 1, and 2. Combines extensively hydrolyzed protein with HiPP's Combiotic® prebiotics and probiotics, Metafolin®, and DHA/ARA.

Goat Milk Formulas

Goat milk protein forms a softer, more easily digestible curd in the stomach compared to standard cow's milk. Some families find goat milk formulas gentler for babies who show signs of digestive discomfort on standard cow's milk formula. Goat milk is not a hypoallergenic alternative and is not suitable for confirmed cow's milk protein allergy.

• Holle Organic Goat Milk Formula: Available in Stage Pre, 1, 2, 3, and 4. EU Organic certified, palm oil free, and made with whole organic goat milk powder.

Anti-Reflux Formula

For babies who spit up frequently alongside gas and discomfort, an anti-reflux formula may help feeds stay down more consistently.

• HiPP Special Anti-Reflux (AR): Thickened with natural carob bean gum to reduce reflux. Includes natural lactic acid cultures. Suitable from birth under medical supervision.

Before switching your baby's formula, it helps to identify the specific symptoms you're seeing. Different signs may point toward different formula types:

• Frequent gas, bloating, and fussiness after feeds: May benefit from a Comfort formula with reduced lactose and hydrolyzed protein.
• Mild sensitivity or family history of allergy: An HA formula may be worth discussing with your pediatrician.
• Discomfort on standard cow's milk formula with no confirmed allergy: A goat milk formula may be a gentler alternative to try.
• Frequent spitting up alongside gas: An Anti-Reflux formula may help reduce regurgitation.
