HiPP PUR Formula

HiPP PUR: Organic Whole Milk Formula For Babies

What makes the PUR range especially unique is the real organic whole cow’s milk used as a key ingredient of the recipe. Instead of only using skim milk and reconstructing the fat profile entirely with vegetable oils, the HiPP formula whole milk base keeps naturally occurring milk fats right where they belong. This allows the formula to remain simpler, less processed, and much closer in structure to human milk.

Every box of PUR formula is produced in Germany under strict European organic regulations and also carries the brand's own organic seal, which goes beyond standard EU requirements. Across all stages, the recipes feature organic whole milk, gentle carbohydrates from lactose only, and no palm oil.

HiPP PUR Whole Milk Ingredients

HiPP PUR is built around a short, purposeful ingredient list. Each component is selected to support digestion, growth, and nutrient absorption, while keeping the recipe as close as possible to the natural structure of human milk. Below is a closer look at the key ingredients in the HiPP PUR formula range:

• Whole Cow’s Milk: Through the use of organic whole milk powder, your baby receives naturally occurring milk fats directly, rather than relying exclusively on vegetable oils for fat. This makes it closer to the same fat structure in human milk, and in that regard, organic whole milk for babies is associated with improved fat and calcium absorption and softer, more comfortable stools. From a sensory standpoint, whole milk also gives the formula its naturally creamy texture and mild, milky taste.

• Lactose: Lactose is the only carbohydrate used in every HiPP PUR stage. It is the natural sugar found in breast milk and is specifically chosen to reflect how infants are biologically designed to digest and use carbohydrates. Lactose provides slow and steady energy, supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, and plays an important role in mineral absorption, particularly calcium. Unlike formulas that rely on maltodextrin, corn syrup, or starch, a lactose-only profile helps keep the recipe gentle and closer to the natural carbohydrate composition of human milk.

• High-Quality Fats: While organic whole milk supplies a large portion of healthy fats, the PUR formula also uses a small, carefully selected blend of organic sunflower and rapeseed oils to complete the fatty acid profile. By relying on milk fats and non-tropical plant oils, the formula avoids palm-derived palmitic acid to ensure softer stools and enhance calcium absorption.

• DHA: This omega-3 fatty acid is naturally occurring in human milk and is essential for the development of the brain, nervous system, and vision. DHA is included in all stages to support cognitive development and visual maturation during infancy and early childhood.

• ARA: Organic whole milk infant formula stages PRE and 1 contain ARA, an omega-6 fatty acid also present in breast milk that supports immunity, neurological development, and cell signalling.

• Taurine: This amino acid plays a key role in early brain and nervous system development and contributes to healthy heart function. Because newborns have limited ability to synthesize taurine on their own, its inclusion in Stage PRE and Stage 1 helps align the formula more closely with the natural composition of human milk.

• Iron:  This mineral is important for red blood cell formation, oxygen transport, brain development, and immune function. Around 6 months of age, when babies begin eating solids, their iron needs increase. As such, this mineral is included in higher amounts from Stage 2 onward to reduce the risk of common nutritional gaps.

• Calcium & Vitamin D: Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth, while vitamin D helps the body absorb and utilize calcium effectively. Stage 2 and above provide more of these nutrients to support rapid skeletal growth and long-term bone health as your baby becomes more mobile and physically active.

HiPP PUR Formula Stages

The PUR line is designed to follow your baby's full feeding journey. The complete range consists of five distinct stages beginning with PRE and ending with Stage 4. Here is how each one is designed to support your little one.

HiPP PUR Stage PRE

HiPP PUR Stage PRE is an infant formula suitable from birth and is designed to be a gentle first milk for newborns, whether used as a complete source of nutrition or alongside breastfeeding.

This formula is made with 100% whole milk and no skim milk, and the carbohydrates come exclusively from lactose. Stage PRE contains DHA and ARA to support early brain and visual development, along with taurine.

Because the recipe avoids starch, palm oil, and complex carbohydrates, Stage PRE is often chosen by parents seeking one of the gentlest whole milk infant formulas available.

HiPP PUR Stage 1

HiPP PUR Stage 1 is another infant formula option suitable from birth and follows the same whole milk philosophy as Stage PRE. It is built on 100% organic whole cow’s milk, uses lactose as the only carbohydrate, and contains DHA, ARA, and taurine.

Many parents choose Stage 1 as their everyday infant formula. It can be used as a complete source of nutrition or as a complement to breastfeeding.

HiPP PUR Stage 2

Stage 2 is designed as a follow-on whole milk formula for babies from six months and up. At this stage, the recipe uses a blend of whole and skimmed milk while maintaining the same lactose-only carbohydrate structure and a palm-oil-free fat blend.

More iron is added to support healthy blood formation and cognitive development during the weaning period, and DHA continues to support brain and vision development.

Unlike some Stage 2 formulas, HiPP PUR Stage 2 does not include starch. This keeps the formula mild and easy to digest while remaining closer to the natural carbohydrate profile of breast milk.

HiPP PUR Stage 3

HiPP PUR Stage 3 is the next step of follow-on milk, supporting older babies from 10+ months who are eating a more varied diet.

This stage also uses a blend of whole and skimmed milk and continues to rely exclusively on lactose for carbohydrates. DHA remains part of the recipe, and calcium is increased to support bone and tooth development during this rapid growth phase.

Because it is free of palm oil and starch, Stage 3 maintains the same gentle digestive profile parents appreciate in earlier stages, while optimally adapting vitamin and mineral levels to meet the needs of older infants.

HiPP PUR Stage 4

HiPP PUR Stage 4 is a whole milk toddler formula suitable from 12 months of age and serves as a supportive bridge between baby formula and family foods.

It combines organic whole and skimmed milk with lactose-only carbohydrates, DHA, and a carefully balanced blend of essential vitamins and minerals. Iron, calcium, and vitamins C and D also play a key role at this stage, supporting immune health, bone development, and ongoing brain growth.

Because the fat profile still includes natural milk fats and avoids palm oil, this toddler milk maintains a smooth, creamy texture and mild flavour that many little ones accept easily.

How HiPP PUR Whole Milk Powder Supports Baby Development

The PUR recipe supports healthy development by focusing on three core nutritional pillars: high-quality fats, gentle carbohydrates, and precisely balanced micronutrients.

This combination allows the formulas to support both immediate growth needs and longer-term developmental milestones, making it one of the best organic whole milk products on the market.

How to Prepare HiPP PUR Organic Whole Powdered Milk

Preparing HiPP PUR is simple and very similar to most European infant formulas. Because the milk powder dissolves easily and contains real, whole milk elements, parents often notice a smoother mix with very little foam.

1. Start by boiling fresh drinking water and allowing it to cool.

2. Pour the required amount of water into a clean, sterilized bottle.

3. Using the provided scoop, add the exact number of level scoops of HiPP PUR powdered milk according to the feeding table on your specific stage.

4. Close the bottle and gently shake until the powder is fully dissolved.

5. Allow the bottle to cool to body temperature before feeding, and always test the temperature on your wrist first.

Because the formula contains whole milk, it naturally has a slightly creamier appearance once mixed. This is completely normal and reflects the presence of real milk fats rather than added thickeners.

Always follow the preparation and storage instructions printed on your individual formula box, as scoop sizes and feeding tables can vary slightly by stage.
