Important notice: Breastfeeding is best for babies and has many benefits for both you and your baby. It is important that you eat a healthy well-balanced diet in preparation for and during breastfeeding.
If you are considering changing over from breastfeeding or combining breast and bottle feeding, talk to your pediatrician first. Once the decision to stop breastfeeding has been made, it is difficult to go back. Partial bottle feeding with infant milk, especially in the first few weeks, may reduce the supply of your breastmilk. The cost and social implications of using formula milk should be considered. If you decide to use infant formula make sure you do your research and pick the best quality formula for your baby.
If you use formula milk, it is very important that you use infant milk throughout the first year (or follow on milks can be used from 6 months). It is important that you follow all usage instructions very carefully. Failure to choose an appropriate feed or to use it incorrectly can be harmful to your baby’s health.
The European baby formulas we sell are widely known to be among the highest-quality baby formulas available in the world. The brands we sell use only organic skimmed milk (cow and goat), lactose, and organic whey for carbs sources. They also contain essential prebiotics and probiotics, non-synthetic nutrients, and more. No corn syrup, glucose syrup solids, or sugar is used that you’ll find in most other brands in the US.

Kendamil
formulas are uniquely Veggie friendly! By sourcing the Omega 3 from marine algae and avoiding animal rennet in the production process, Kendamil is uniquely certified Vegetarian!
Holle Goat Stage 1 & Stage 2
formulas are suitable for vegetarians as they do not contain any omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil, and they do not contain any ingredients that have been processed with animal enzymes.
The rest of our formulas have not been certified vegetarian as they contain omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids from fish oil and/or animal enzymes. Please note that none of our formulas are vegan, since they all contain either organic cow’s milk or organic goat’s milk.
Docosahexaenoic acid, better known as DHA, and arachidonic acid, better known as ARA or AA, are fatty acids found in breast milk, as well as in some foods, like fish and eggs. (Fatty acids combine to make fat molecules.) Both DHA and ARA are classified as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs). They each play important roles in our bodies and health throughout our lifetimes. DHA and ARA play also a very important role in early brain and eye development. Research indicates that DHA is crucial for promoting visual acuity, immune responses, and neural tissue growth. Specifically, studies have shown that omega-3 has a positive impact on cognition, learning, language, motor skills, and behavior in children.
ARA is still not a mandatory ingredient, but it can be used as an optional addition. Experts also explicitly support the addition of DHA and ARA to infant formula. Studies have shown that formulas not fortified with these fatty acids may lead to significantly lower fatty acid levels in bottle-fed infants compared to breastfed infants, as breast milk naturally contains ARA [2].
Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and α-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, are considered essential fatty acids because they cannot be synthesized by humans.

We ship your order from Europe rather Germany, UK or Netherlands depending on which formula you purchased. We can't guarantee a 2-5 business day delivery for 6 Packs, 8 Packs, 12 Packs, 15 Packs, 16 Packs because even if very rarely it does happen that those shipments are delayed about a couple of days rather caused by the carriers themselves or by taking more time clearing US customs. Unfortunately we can’t influence any of that. But don’t worry! Most bigger orders arrive within 2-5 business days (counted Mo-Fr). The longest delivery time for bigger Packs so far was counted with 7 business days (counted Mo-Fr). You will receive a package tracking number once your order has shipped. Be sure that we do everything in our power to get your order delivered the fastest way!

Sometimes manufacturers update their products. Even though we know that ahead of time in many cases we can't change the product picture before we actually ship the new or updated product. Customer order #1120 might receive the current product which is listed on our website but customer order #1121 the same day might receive the new or updated product because the switch to new has been made in between those orders. Once the first new or updated products leave our warehouse we change the product picture and information on our website as we can be sure that only new or updated products will be send. The good news is that however you always receive the newest and most up to date product. In cases where customers ordered the old version of the product but received the new or updated version we can't accept returns. Changes of box/can design or ingredients mean the manufacturer increased the quality of the product and we always suggest to go with the newest version as the old version is not produced and won't be available anymore.
To ensure that all formulas are only for personal usage, we’ve set the limit to 16 formula boxes.

We recommend that you use boiled water when preparing baby formula, in order to kill harmful bacteria. We recommend that you bring at least one quart (approx. one liter) of water to a rolling boil.
Be very careful when using hot water!
Once done with your bottle preperation let the water cool until it reaches about 99.5°F (room temperature). Test the temperature on the inside of your wrist to be sure it’s not too hot before feeding baby.
For a detailed description how to make a bottle please look at our more information section on each product page.

If you purchased a formula that came in a box, then the scoop will be included in the box but outside of the sealed silver packaging.
If you purchased a formula that came in a can/tin, then the scoop is usually buried in the formula powder. You might know this from other products like protein powder supplements for example. The best thing to do is to use a dry, sterilized spoon to dig the scoop out of the formula.

Due to environmental factors such as air, humidity, and temperature, which can impact its quality of freshness we recommend storing the opened formula in an airtight container to ensure short-term freshness.
Store formulas in a cool, dry place (at room temperature) and not next to substances or foodstuffs with a sharp smell. Do not store in the refrigerator.
Organic food is healthy, animals, nature and the environment also benefit from it - a certified organic seal identifies food with ecological origin and processing. For this purpose, strict guidelines and controls have been introduced and compliance is indicated by the seal.
Foods that are labeled with a certified organic seal are subject to the European organic regulation. This stipulates at least 95% organic farming. This involves various requirements for farmers.
+ They must keep farm animals in a species-appropriate manner and with access to exercise, factory farming is prohibited. Fresh, untreated feed must be available to them.
+ When cultivating fields, it is important to ensure that a different type of plant is grown each year in order to prevent the soil from leaching out. This is to ensure that the soil regenerates and the plants can absorb sufficient nutrients.
+ Only natural methods are permitted for pest control. Chemical-synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are also prohibited. Preservation by radioactive irradiation is prohibited.
+ Only about 40 additives from non-ecological origins are allowed for further processing. These include, for example, salt, water and yeast. The permissible proportion of genetically modified products is limited to a maximum of 0.9 percent.
+ Compliance with the regulations is checked regularly. The control number of the responsible authority is noted on the organic products. For the consumer, these guidelines mean the possibility of eating healthy and environmentally conscious.
