Holle Bio Stage PRE Organic Infant Formula

Holle Bio Stage PRE Organic Infant Formula

Holle Bio Stage PRE is an organic cow’s-milk infant formula intended from birth, either as the sole source of nutrition when a baby is not breastfed or alongside breast milk when supplementation is appropriate. In Holle’s cow-milk range, PRE is defined by a simple carbohydrate profile: lactose is the only carbohydrate stated by the manufacturer. It is produced to Demeter biodynamic standards and uses milk from cows raised under those agricultural requirements.

What defines Holle PRE?

This stage is designed for the earliest feeding period. Its role is nutritional, not therapeutic: it is not intended for babies with cow’s-milk protein allergy, and it should not be selected to treat reflux, colic, constipation, or another medical concern. The formula includes DHA from algae oil and ARA from Mortierella alpina oil, as shown in the current ingredient information below. Always review the package you receive because labels and formulations can change by market or production date.

How PRE compares within the Holle Cow range

Choose by age and the exact package directions rather than by assuming that a higher stage is “better.” Holle Cow Stage 1 is also positioned from birth but is a separate formulation, while Holle Cow Stage 2 is a follow-on formula for use after six months as part of a mixed diet. Parents who want to compare every step can browse the complete Holle collection. PRE’s clearest point of difference is Holle’s explicit use of lactose as its only carbohydrate.

Demeter sourcing and verified product information

Demeter standards address the agricultural system behind the ingredients, including biodynamic farm management and animal husbandry requirements. They do not make the formula medically superior or appropriate for every child. For the manufacturer’s current positioning, see the official Holle PRE product page. The physical package remains the final reference for ingredients, allergens, preparation ratios, storage, and use-by information.

Preparation, safety, and selection

Prepare each bottle exactly as directed, using the scoop supplied with that package and the stated water-to-powder ratio. Wash hands and equipment, prepare feeds fresh, test the temperature before feeding, and discard unfinished formula after a feed. Never dilute or concentrate the formula, microwave a prepared bottle, or transfer instructions from another Holle stage. Powdered infant formula is not sterile. Discuss feeding choices with a pediatrician or qualified health professional, especially for premature babies, babies with allergies, medical conditions, poor weight gain, or persistent feeding symptoms. Breastfeeding is recommended when possible; individual circumstances and local guidance should determine the feeding plan.

PREPARATION GUIDE:

1. Always sterilise bottles, teats, and rings before use. Boil fresh drinking water and allow it to cool to approx. 50°C (122°F).
2. Pour approximately half of the cooled water into the sterilized bottle.
3. Fill the measuring scoop loosely and level it off. Add the required number of scoops (according to the feeding guide) to the water in the bottle.
4. Close the bottle and shake thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved.
5. Add the remaining half of the cooled water and shake again.
6. Allow to cool to drinking temperature (approx. 37°C / 98.6°F). Test the temperature on your wrist before feeding.

Important Notes: Follow preparation instructions exactly. Use only the provided scoop. Prepare fresh formula for each feeding; do not reuse leftovers. Improper preparation can lead to health problems. Do not heat formula in the microwave (risk of overheating).

FEEDING GUIDE:

The amounts indicated are approximate and can vary. Please follow your paediatrician's recommendations, especially in the first weeks.

*Approximate values. 1 level measuring scoop = approx. 4.4 g. Standard preparation: 13.2 g powder + 90 ml boiled water = 100 ml ready-to-drink formula.

**From the 5th month, you can start introducing solids in consultation with your paediatrician; bottle feeds should gradually be replaced by weaning foods.
