Newborns are the most delicate humans, requiring exceptional care and warmth. Parents, especially first-timers, often worry about making mistakes and strive to make every decision correctly. They think about their little ones' safety and comfort even before they are born.
While mother's milk is the best for a newborn, sometimes natural feeding is impossible. This is when a reliable alternative must be found.
There is HiPP Organic 1 – it is created for newborns who need a high-quality, organic, and easily digestible milk formula from 0 months. This is a Stage 1 formula that fully or partially replaces mother's milk. The need for it arises especially when mother's milk is insufficient and feeding is unstable.
You can read detailed information about this product, its use, composition, storage rules, and safety measures in this blog post.
HiPP Organic 1 is designed to ensure complete nutrition for the newborn. Its formula is very close to the natural composition of mother's milk. It contains light proteins, healthy fatty acids, prebiotics, components supporting immunity, and essential vitamins. This is why HiPP is considered one of the most reliable and highest quality products across Europe.
Prebiotics and Probiotics (Combiotic) are important for strengthening the sensitive gastrointestinal tract and immunity of the infant. Notably, these are the same types of bacteria naturally found in mother's milk. GOS prebiotics feed "good" bacteria and balance the gut microbiome. Probiotics promote healthy digestion, reducing the risk of colic, gas, and constipation.
The Combiotic formula helps the body naturally protect itself from bacteria and infections.
LCP - Omega 3 and Omega 6 are essential fatty acids for brain and vision development. Furthermore, they are important for forming the structure of the nervous system and developing behavioral and cognitive skills.
HiPP Organic 1 contains these LCP fatty acids, offering the newborn the same type of support that mother's milk provides.
It is noteworthy that this milk formula contains the full spectrum of vitamins and minerals that ensure bone health, blood formation, immunity boost, and proper muscle function.
The vitamins and minerals in HiPP's composition have the following purposes:
Vitamin D - Bone development and immunity; Vitamin C - Antioxidant and immune support; Vitamin A - Vision and skin barrier; B-Group Vitamins – Energy, nervous system, metabolism.
As for the functions of the minerals: Iron - Blood formation and oxygen transport; Calcium - Bone and teeth health; Zinc - Immunity and skin health; Iodine - Thyroid hormones and fruitful brain development.
The combination of all these elements makes the HiPP milk formula a unique food for newborns. Its quality and reliability are confirmed by numerous laboratory studies.
"Organic" is not just a label inscription – it points to bio-farming, strict quality control, and environmentally friendly production, which is considered one of the highest standards across Europe. For decades, HiPP has been guided by the family philosophy of Stefan Hipp – "What is good for the child is also good for nature."
There are several significant factors that distinguish HiPP from others. We will discuss a few of them now.
The formula milk ingredients come from family farms. They have been operating for over 60 years under the standards that Stefan Hipp personally controls.
This means that the raw materials are grown without chemical substances, on ecologically clean land; farmers use only natural methods for soil rejuvenation; animals are raised in appropriate conditions, and production does not use genetically modified products (non-GMO).
It is noteworthy that the soil where the raw materials are grown is completely purified from chemical residues for at least two years. Also, biological, not chemical, methods are used for plant protection. This limits the possibility of heavy metals, nitrates, and toxins entering the soil.
As a result, the ingredients that end up in the milk formula are safe, the allergic risk is lower, and they are characterized by better bioavailability.
In addition, HiPP products undergo up to 260 laboratory checks before hitting the shelves. This is one of the highest indicators across Europe.
The combination of all this yields a high-quality, clean, and biologically safe milk base. Products that countless parents worldwide trust.
HiPP is one of the most popular milk formulas used for newborns from 0 months. Several significant factors determine why parents choose it. The choice is usually driven by easy digestion, the taste of the formula, and brand reliability. All these put HiPP ahead of competitors.
The main reason why parents choose HiPP for their little ones is easy digestion. This is the most sensitive issue for newborns – colic, gas, constipation, and discomfort are a challenge for almost every family from the very first weeks of the baby's birth.

Parents often note that babies like the taste of HiPP, which makes feeding calmer and more stable.

The answer to the question - Why do parents trust HiPP? is simple. The products are manufactured according to German quality standards; Each batch undergoes over 260 laboratory checks; The brand regularly maintains EU certifications.
That is why, for parents looking for stable, reliable, and high-quality products, HiPP is the number one choice.
To ensure that the HiPP milk formula brings maximum benefit to the baby, it is crucial to meticulously follow the preparation instructions. Consider the required water temperature, the amount of powder, and shake the mixture well.
We will now discuss the preparation instructions in more detail.
Water Preparation and Temperature: First, boil clean drinking water and let it cool down to approximately $40^\circ\text{C}$ to $50^\circ\text{C}$. This is essential because excessively hot water destroys prebiotics and some vitamins. On the other hand, the powder will not dissolve properly in excessively cold water and may cause digestion problems.
Bottle Sterilization: Bottle sterilization is a necessary and important issue here. This ensures the baby's safety. Before each feeding or once a day, ensure the sterilization of bottles, teats, and caps. You can use various methods for this. For example, boil them in water for 3-5 minutes; use an electric sterilizer; or use special sterilization tablets or bags. This step protects the baby from bacteria, gastrointestinal infections, and discomfort.
Mixing: Pour $2/3$ of the already boiled and cooled water into the bottle. You will find a measuring scoop in the HiPP box; use it to measure the dry formula and pour it into the same bottle. It is important to adhere to the exact proportions. Too much powder makes digestion difficult, while too little quantity reduces its nutritional value.
Shaking and Final Check: Cover the bottle with the cap, shake it lightly first, and then shake well until you get a homogenous mixture. Then, add the remaining amount of boiled water and shake well again.
Before feeding, ensure that the milk formula's temperature equals body temperature, approximately $37^\circ\text{C}$. To check this, you can perform a simple test – put a few drops on your hand. The mixture should be warm, not hot.
First and foremost, you should know that the milk formula is prepared for single use only. The ready-made mixture cannot be stored in the refrigerator and then reheated. Therefore, you must discard the remaining formula.
Before use, ensure that the HiPP packaging is not damaged. Prepare the food immediately before feeding the baby. Note that incorrect preparation and storage of the prepared formula can affect the baby's health.
Focus on hygiene. After every feeding, thoroughly wash the bottle, cap, and teat. Also, the measuring scoop should always be clean and dry. Try not to leave the bottle open for a long time.
And most importantly, consult a doctor for advice before giving artificial food to your little one.
To ensure that the milk formula does not lose its beneficial properties and its use is safe, it is also necessary to observe storage rules.
After each use, tightly close the opened package and store it at room temperature in a dry place. Note that the opened box is valid for 3 weeks. As already mentioned, it is unacceptable to reheat the milk and use it that way.
When it comes to feeding newborns, you can be calm and fully trust HiPP products. To ensure it benefits the little ones, it is important to meticulously follow the rules of preparation, storage, and safety. HiPP is available in Georgia and is sold in the GPS pharmacy chain. You can find out information about stock and price by physically visiting the pharmacy or through their website.
