Hipp Bio Pre formula milk from birth, 600g

What has changed with this milk formula?

Increasing the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs)

What are LCPs?

LCP stands for "Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids" and describes long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are very important for the development of brain and nerve cells as well as the baby's vision. Examples of LCPs are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - an omega-3 fatty acid - and arachidonic acid (ARA) - an omega-6 fatty acid.

Because babies cannot produce enough LCPs themselves in the first months of life, LCPs are already added to our infant formula. According to the new EU Directive for infant milk nutrition, the addition of DHA is now legally required.

Expert opinion is in favour of adding DHA as well as ARA to infant formula. Otherwise there can be demonstrable deviations in these fatty acids compared to breastfed babies, who are always supplied with DHA and ARA through their mother's milk. This is why we have been using the combination of DHA and ARA in our HiPP infant formula for years.

What is DHA?

DHA - the abbreviation stands for docosahexaenoic acid - is a long-chain, polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid.

Why is DHA important?

Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to the normal development of brain and nerve cells and vision. Omega-3 fatty acids are naturally present in breast milk. In order to ensure that non-breastfed babies are also provided with sufficient DHA, infant food DHA, e.g. in the form of fish oil, is added.

What is ARA?

ARA, which stands for arachidonic acid, is a long-chain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid. Omega-6 fatty acids are naturally present in breast milk. The content is strongly dependent on the mother's diet. To ensure that non-breastfed babies are also sufficiently supplied with these vital fatty acids, infant formula ARA, e.g. in the form of vegetable oils, e.g. from Mortierella Alpina, is added.

Adaptation of individual vitamins and minerals

According to the latest scientific findings, the minimum and maximum amounts of nutrients correspond even more to the nutritional needs of babies.

following breastfeeding or any other infant formula

can be given like breast milk as needed - as often and as much as your baby wants to drink

Important notes

Breastfeeding is the best thing for your baby. Please speak to your clinic or paediatrician if you wish to use a starter formula.

Like breast milk, baby foods contain carbohydrates. They are an important part of your baby's diet. Frequent or prolonged contact of the teeth with liquids containing carbohydrates can lead to caries and thus to health problems. Do not leave your baby to suck the bottle for long periods and let him or her drink from the cup as early as possible.
