Breast milk is best for babies. These are stock-planning estimates, not feeding
advice. Every baby is different — always follow the feeding table on the can and your
paediatrician's guidance on how much your baby should actually take.
Ranges assume the standard one-scoop-per-30ml preparation. Real usage shifts with
growth spurts, starting solids, and how much formula ends up on the floor.

What is Aptamil HA 1 formula?
Aptamil HA 1 is a German and Austrian hydrolyzed infant formula for babies from birth, made with partially hydrolysed whey protein, GOS and FOS prebiotic fibres and a Bifidobacterium breve M-16V culture. It is designed to help reduce the risk of cow's milk protein allergy in babies who have a family history of allergy — it is not a treatment for a baby who already has one. This listing is a single 800g can.
The name is the part that causes most of the confusion. "HA" is short for hypoallergenic, but in European formula that word describes a partially hydrolysed protein — whey cut into smaller peptide fragments so it is less likely to sensitise an at-risk baby. It is a prevention product. A baby with a diagnosed allergy needs something considerably further down the same road, and we spell that out below.
Aptamil is Nutricia's infant-nutrition brand, part of Danone, and this can is made under EU infant-formula law. Its argument is not farming or purity — Aptamil holds no organic certification on this or any of its specialised formulas — but formulation: hydrolysed whey protein, a GOS and FOS prebiotic blend built to imitate breast-milk oligosaccharides, a named probiotic strain, DHA, and nucleotides. One quiet detail parents often miss: the listed oil blend here is sunflower, coconut and rapeseed, with no palm oil.
Who is it for? A baby from birth in a family where a parent or sibling has eczema, asthma, hay fever or a food allergy, chosen with a pediatrician or health visitor. It is a complete food and can be your baby's only nutrition, or a top-up alongside breastfeeding. The earlier newborn-stage option in the same line is Aptamil HA PRE; from around six months the follow-on is Aptamil HA 2.

Nutrition
What is in Aptamil HA 1?
Lactose leads the ingredient list, followed by whey protein hydrolysate, a sunflower, coconut and rapeseed oil blend, galacto-oligosaccharides and fructo-oligosaccharides, fish oil, the mineral and vitamin spread required by EU law, a Bifidobacterium breve M-16V culture and nucleotides. It contains milk and fish.
The formulation splits cleanly into two halves. The protein half is the partially hydrolysed whey, which is the whole reason this can exists. The gut half is the GOS/FOS prebiotic pair working with the named Bifidobacterium breve M-16V probiotic strain — Aptamil's own combination, and one of the few places where a formula brand names the exact strain rather than saying "cultures".
The fat blend is worth a second look for a different reason. Aptamil HA 1's listed oils are sunflower, coconut and rapeseed, with no palm oil — unusual in this category and a genuine point in its favour. The DHA comes from fish oil, though, so this is not a vegetarian formula.

The science
What does partially hydrolysed whey protein actually mean?
It means the whey protein has been cut into shorter fragments with enzymes before it reaches your baby — far enough to be less likely to sensitise a baby who is at risk of allergy, and nowhere near far enough to be safe for a baby who already has a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy.
A whole whey protein is a long chain, and an immune system predisposed to allergy can learn to recognise and react to it. Partial hydrolysis shortens the chain into peptides that are harder to flag. That is the mechanism in full, and it is the only claim Aptamil HA 1 makes about allergy.
It is worth being blunt about what the word "hypoallergenic" on the front of the can does not mean. It does not mean allergen-free, and it does not mean medically safe for an allergic baby. A baby with diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) needs an extensively hydrolysed or amino-acid formula, prescribed and supervised by a doctor. Those are a different tier of product and Aptamil HA 1 is not a substitute for one.
The right candidate for this can is a currently healthy baby, from birth, in an allergy-prone family, with a pediatrician or health visitor in the loop. If your baby is already reacting to milk — rash, vomiting, blood in the stool, breathing changes — that is a reason to see a doctor, not a reason to switch to an HA formula.

Clean label
What is not in Aptamil HA 1?
No palm oil, no maltodextrin and no added starch — the listed oil blend is sunflower, coconut and rapeseed, and lactose is the carbohydrate. Aptamil also states this formula is free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. It does contain fish oil, so it is not vegetarian, and it is not organic certified.

Comparison
How does Aptamil HA 1 compare to HiPP HA Stage 1 and Aptamil HA 2?
All three are hydrolysed whey formulas for allergy-risk families, and none of the three is organic certified. Aptamil HA 1 is the only one of the three with no palm oil in its listed oil blend; HiPP HA Stage 1 is the only one that publishes a full per-100ml nutrition panel, and it comes in a smaller 600g box.

Being straight with you: compare these by the ounce rather than by the pack — HiPP HA Stage 1 is a 600g box against Aptamil's 800g, so a lower shelf price is not the same as cheaper formula. HiPP also wins on transparency here: it publishes a complete per-100ml panel, a scoop weight and a stated yield, where we have had to mark Aptamil's figures as estimates. Where Aptamil HA 1 genuinely leads is the fat blend, which contains no palm oil where HiPP's does, and the named B. breve M-16V strain. If your baby is already past six months and eating solids, skip this can and go to Aptamil HA 2 instead.
Planning ahead
How many cans of Aptamil HA 1 will my baby need per month?
Roughly 2 cans a month in the first weeks, rising to around 3 to 4 cans a month as your baby approaches six months. One 800g can makes an estimated 185 to 195 fl oz of prepared formula, which is roughly 37 to 39 bottles of 5 fl oz.
Intake close to doubles across the first half-year, which is why one flat monthly number is never much use. Plan against the band for your baby's current age, and remember that any breastfeeding alongside formula pulls the figure down.

Both the yield and the monthly bands here are our own estimates. Aptamil does not publish a fluid-ounce yield or a cans-per-month figure for HA 1, so we have scaled from the directly stated 185 fl oz yield of the sibling HA PRE can, which shares the pack size and formula family. Use these for planning, not as a target.
Preparation
How do you prepare Aptamil HA 1?
Boil fresh water and let it cool to about 104°F (40°C), pour the measured water into a sterilised bottle first, add the number of level scoops the feeding chart on your can gives for your baby's age, shake thoroughly until the powder has completely dissolved, then check the temperature is about 98.6°F (37°C) before you feed.

800 gCan size
1
Sterilise everything
Wash and sterilise the bottle, teat, ring and cap, and wash your hands before you start.
2
Boil and cool
Boil fresh drinking water for each feed and let it cool to about 104°F (40°C) before the powder goes anywhere near it.
3
Water into the bottle first
Pour the measured water into the sterilised bottle before you add any powder — never the other way round.
4
Add level scoops
Use only the scoop supplied in the can, take the number of scoops the feeding chart gives for your baby's age, and level each one on the scraper edge — never packed or heaped.
5
Cap and shake
Cap the bottle and shake thoroughly until no powder is left clinging to the sides. Hydrolysed formula can take a little more shaking than a standard one.
6
Test, then feed
Check the temperature is about 98.6°F (37°C) by testing a drop on your wrist, then feed straight away.
Never use artificially softened water or water that has been boiled more than once. Make a fresh bottle for every feed, never reheat, never microwave, and throw away anything your baby does not finish rather than saving it for later. Always follow the preparation instructions printed on your own can, which are the authoritative version.
A note on water temperature. Aptamil specifies water at about 104°F (40°C) for this formula, and that is the instruction printed on your can. It is set deliberately — hotter water damages the live cultures and heat-sensitive vitamins this formula is built around.
Many health authorities, including the NHS and WHO, advise 70°C or hotter for any powdered formula, because powder is not sterile and that temperature kills bacteria that can occasionally be present. The difference matters most for newborns, premature babies, and babies with weakened immunity. If your baby is in one of those groups, ask your paediatrician or health visitor which to follow for your situation.
Please read before buying
Aptamil HA 1 is a partially hydrolysed formula for reducing allergy risk in babies who have a family history of allergy and no diagnosis of their own. It is not suitable for a baby with a diagnosed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy — that needs an extensively hydrolysed or amino-acid formula prescribed by a doctor. It contains milk and fish. Breastfeeding is best for your baby — talk to your health visitor or doctor before starting or changing a formula.
Store cans in a cool, dry place and keep the pack closed between feeds. Never reheat or microwave prepared formula.
Where this sits in the HA range
Aptamil runs the HA line as three stages: HA PRE as a newborn-stage milk with lactose as its only carbohydrate, HA 1 as the first infant milk from birth, and HA 2 as the follow-on milk from around six months once solids have started. Staying inside one hydrolysed line for the first year means one less variable to change if your baby is settled.
Questions parents ask
Aptamil HA 1: frequently asked questions
What age is Aptamil HA 1 formula for?
Aptamil HA 1 is a first infant milk suitable from birth. It is a complete food and can be your baby's only source of nutrition, or a top-up alongside breastfeeding. It stays appropriate until your baby is around six months old and eating solid food, at which point the follow-on milk in the same line is Aptamil HA 2. The newborn-stage alternative within the line is Aptamil HA PRE.
Is Aptamil HA 1 suitable for a baby with a cow's milk protein allergy?
No. Despite the word hypoallergenic on the can, Aptamil HA 1 uses partially hydrolysed whey protein, which is intended to reduce the risk of a baby developing an allergy rather than to manage one that already exists. A baby with diagnosed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy needs an extensively hydrolysed or amino-acid formula prescribed by a doctor. If your baby is reacting to milk, see your pediatrician before changing formula.
Is Aptamil HA 1 organic?
No. Aptamil holds no organic certification on this formula or on any of its specialised range. There is a regulatory reason as well as a commercial one: EU organic rules do not allow an organic label on infant formula made with hydrolysed protein, which is why hydrolysed formulas from organic-leaning European brands are not organic either. Aptamil's case rests on clinical research and formulation rather than organic farming.
Does Aptamil HA 1 contain palm oil?
No. The vegetable oil blend listed for Aptamil HA 1 is sunflower, coconut and rapeseed oil, with no palm oil, which sets it apart from several rival hydrolysed formulas including HiPP's. It does contain fish oil as its DHA source, so it is not suitable for vegetarian families, and the allergens declared are milk and fish.
How much prepared formula does one 800g can make?
We estimate one 800g can of Aptamil HA 1 makes about 185 to 195 fluid ounces of prepared formula, roughly 37 to 39 bottles of 5 fl oz. That figure is scaled from the directly stated yield of the sibling Aptamil HA PRE can, which is the same size and the same formula family, rather than published by Aptamil for HA 1 itself — so treat it as a planning estimate and check the feeding chart on your own can.
What is the difference between Aptamil HA 1 and HiPP HA Stage 1?
Both are hydrolysed whey formulas for allergy-risk families and neither is organic certified. The differences are the culture, the fat and the pack. Aptamil uses a named Bifidobacterium breve M-16V strain with GOS and FOS, and its oil blend has no palm oil. HiPP uses a Lactobacillus fermentum culture with GOS, contains organic palm oil, publishes a full per-100ml panel, and comes in a 600g box rather than 800g.
Can I switch my baby to Aptamil HA 1 from another formula?
Usually yes, but do it gradually over several days rather than all at once, and talk to your health visitor or pediatrician first if you are switching because of a suspected reaction rather than preference. Hydrolysed formulas smell and taste stronger than standard ones, and some babies need a few feeds to accept the change. Never switch formulas repeatedly in a short period hoping to fix a symptom.
