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 HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 formula?
HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 is an EU Organic certified goat milk follow-on formula for babies from 6 months, made in Germany and packaged for the Netherlands in a 400 g metal can with a Dutch and French label. One can makes roughly 90 fl oz of prepared formula — about 18 five-ounce bottles.
A follow-on milk is not a first infant milk with a bigger number on the front. The nutrient profile steps up to match a baby who is now eating solid food as well as drinking milk, and on this can the headline change is iron: 1.0mg per 100ml against Stage 1's 0.50mg. A baby's own iron stores from birth start running down around the six-month mark, which is exactly when this stage takes over.
It is worth being clear which can this is. HiPP makes its organic goat milk formula in Germany and labels it separately for each European market. The Dutch line runs two stages only — Stage 1 from birth and this one from six months. The German-labelled box sold as HiPP Goat 2 is a different SKU with its own barcode, and we list it separately. This page is only about the Dutch can.
The gentleness story is the same as Stage 1's, because the protein source does not change between stages. Goat milk carries no A1 beta-casein, so this is A2 goat milk formula by nature, and A2 protein forms a softer, looser curd in the stomach. That is why parents reach for goat milk baby formula when a baby seems windy or unsettled on a standard cow's milk formula without anything diagnosed behind it.
What sets this can apart from most follow-on milks is what is missing. Many formulas start adding starch or maltodextrin at six months to thicken the feed; this one stays on lactose, with a GOS prebiotic and no added sugar. It is certified EU Organic under control body DE-ÖKO-001 and carries HiPP's own Bio seal. It does contain organic palm oil, and its DHA is fish oil — both set out plainly in the comparison below. After this stage, HiPP's Dutch goat line ends, so a toddler milk from another range is the next step.

What's in HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 per 100ml?
Prepared as directed, every 100ml provides 68 kcal, 3.7g fat, 1.4g protein, 7.1g carbohydrate, 1.0mg iron and 13.6mg DHA sourced from fish oil. The prebiotic is GOS, galacto-oligosaccharides made from lactose. The iron is double what Stage 1 carries — 1.0mg against 0.50mg — which is the main nutritional reason this stage exists.

No starch, no maltodextrin and no added sugar appear anywhere in it.
Is goat milk formula easier to digest than cow's milk formula?
Goat milk contains no A1 beta-casein at all, so every goat formula is A2 beta-casein by nature. A2 protein sets into a softer, looser curd in the stomach than the A1 and A2 mix in conventional cow's milk, and that curd is the named mechanism behind the gentler-digestion claim — not a vague promise of comfort.
Nothing about that changes between Stage 1 and Stage 2, because the protein source does not change — only the nutrient concentrations do. The GOS prebiotic works on a different front, feeding gut flora rather than altering the curd, and the lactose-only carbohydrate base means no starch is being added to slow the feed down.
Now the part worth being blunt about. Goat milk formula is not a treatment for cow's milk protein allergy. Goat and cow milk proteins are close enough in structure that most infants with a diagnosed CMPA cross-react to both. If your baby has a confirmed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy, or a lactose intolerance, you need a formula your doctor prescribes and not this one.
Where HiPP goat milk formula does fit is the older baby with nothing diagnosed: still windy or unsettled on a standard cow's milk follow-on, and starting solids. Moving to a gentler A2 goat formula is a reasonable, non-medical step, and that is the honest limit of what it claims.

What is not in HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2?
No added sugar, no starch, no maltodextrin and no soy anywhere in the ingredient panel — which is unusual for a follow-on milk, since many start thickening with starch at six months. Non-GMO comes with the EU Organic certificate. The other half of the truth: this can contains organic palm oil and its DHA comes from fish oil, so it is neither palm-oil-free nor vegetarian.

How does HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 compare to Holle Goat 2 and Kendamil Goat 2?
This is the one stage where HiPP's carbohydrate list wins outright. Holle Goat Stage 2 introduces organic maltodextrin and starch at six months; HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 stays on lactose. Holle still holds the certification edge with Demeter on top of EU Organic, Kendamil has no organic certificate at all, and both rivals are palm-oil-free where HiPP is not.

Being straight with you: Holle Goat Stage 2 (Dutch) is certified Demeter biodynamic as well as EU Organic, and it is palm-oil-free with algae DHA — if certification or palm oil is what you are shopping on, it is the better can and we stock it. Kendamil Goat Stage 2 is palm-oil-free and fish-oil-free with a whole-goat-milk base, though it carries no organic certificate. HiPP's genuine wins here are the EU Organic certificate, the GOS prebiotic, and a lactose carbohydrate base with no maltodextrin or starch — which is more than Holle can say at this stage. One caution on price: this is a 400 g can and both rivals are 800 g cans, so compare the cost per prepared ounce rather than the cost per pack.
How many cans of formula will my baby need per month?
Published guidance puts a baby on HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 at roughly 4.5 to 6 cans a month depending on age, with about 5 cans a month as the representative figure. One 400 g can makes roughly 90 fl oz of prepared formula, which is around 18 five-ounce bottles, or about 89 level scoops.
The figure drifts downward across this stage rather than upward, because solid food takes over a growing share of the diet from six months on. The source for these numbers gives a range rather than a single answer, so treat the bars below as a shopping guide. Any breastfeeding alongside formula pulls all of them down.

How do you prepare HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2?
Sterilise the bottle and teat, boil fresh water and let it cool to 40–50°C (104–122°F), pour the measured water into the bottle first, then add roughly one level 4.5 g scoop per 30 ml of water as the chart on your can directs, shake until the powder dissolves, cool to about 37°C (98.6°F) and test a drop on your wrist before feeding.

Sterilise everything
Wash and sterilise the bottle, teat, ring and cap, and wash your hands before you start.
2
Boil, then cool
Boil fresh drinking water and let it cool to 40–50°C (104–122°F), the temperature printed on your can, before you use it.

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
Add one level 4.5 g scoop for every 30 ml of water, levelling each with the back of a clean knife. This can's scoop is larger than the Stage 1 scoop — always use the one that came with this can.
5
Cap and shake
Put the cap on and shake well until no trace of powder is left in the bottle.
6
Test and feed
Let the bottle come to about 37°C (98.6°F), test a drop on the inside of your wrist, and feed straight away.
Never use artificially softened water or water that has been boiled more than once. Prepare a fresh bottle for every feed, never reheat, never microwave, and throw away whatever your baby does not finish rather than saving it for the next feed. Check the scoop count against the chart printed on your own can before you settle into a routine.
A note on water temperature. HiPP specifies water at about 40–50°C (104–122°F) for this formula, and that is the instruction printed on your can. It is set deliberately — hotter water damages the heat-sensitive vitamins and nutrients this formula is built around.
You may have read different advice. The World Health Organization and the UK's NHS advise water at 70°C (158°F) or hotter for any powdered formula, because powder is not sterile. In the United States the FDA and CDC take a narrower position: they advise water of at least 158°F (70°C) when a baby is under 2 months old, born prematurely, or has a weakened immune system, and say that for most other babies, preparing formula according to the manufacturer's instructions is considered safe.
If your baby is in one of those higher-risk groups, ask your pediatrician which to follow before using the can's temperature. Whichever you use: sterilise everything, make each bottle fresh, feed within the hour, and never re-use a made-up bottle.

Please read before buying
This formula is not suitable for babies with a diagnosed or suspected cow's milk protein allergy. Goat milk protein is closely related to cow milk protein, and most infants who react to one react to the other. It also contains fish oil, so it is not suitable for a fish allergy and is not vegetarian. Breastfeeding is best for your baby — talk to your health visitor or doctor before starting or changing a formula.
Store the can in a cool, dry place and close the lid firmly after every use. Never reheat or microwave prepared formula.
Packaging & labelling
This is the Netherlands-market can, so the label and feeding chart are printed in Dutch and French rather than English. The scoop inside is 4.5 g — larger than the 4.3 g scoop in the Stage 1 can — so keep the two scoops with their own cans and never swap them. If a seal is ever broken, or the powder looks or smells wrong, do not use it; message us and we will replace it.
HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2: frequently asked questions
What age is HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 formula for?
HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 is a follow-on milk for babies from 6 months, used alongside solid food rather than as a sole source of nutrition. It is the second and final stage of HiPP's Dutch goat line, taking over from HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 1. A follow-on milk is not suitable for a baby under six months; if your baby is younger than that, Stage 1 is the correct product.
What water temperature does HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 need?
The can specifies water cooled to about 40–50°C (104–122°F) before the powder goes in, and the made-up bottle cooled to roughly 37°C (98.6°F), body temperature, before feeding. That mixing temperature is lower than the 70°C (158°F) the WHO and NHS advise for powdered formula generally, because hotter water damages heat-sensitive nutrients. US guidance from the FDA and CDC reserves the 70°C method for babies under 2 months, born prematurely, or with a weakened immune system. If your baby is in one of those groups, ask your pediatrician which to follow.
What changes between HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 1 and Stage 2?
The protein source does not change — both are A2 goat milk — but the nutrient concentrations step up. Iron doubles from 0.50mg to 1.0mg per 100ml, energy rises from 66 to 68 kcal, protein from 1.3 to 1.4g and fat from 3.6 to 3.7g. The iron increase is the most meaningful one, because a baby's own iron stores from birth begin running down around six months. The scoop is also larger, 4.5g rather than 4.3g.
Is HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 organic?
Yes. This can is certified organic to the EU Organic standard under the German control body DE-ÖKO-001, and it also carries HiPP's own Bio quality seal. Because EU Organic rules already prohibit genetically modified ingredients, the non-GMO claim comes with the certificate rather than standing on its own. It is not Demeter certified; among the goat formulas we stock, Holle's goat range carries Demeter biodynamic certification on top of EU Organic.
Can I use goat milk formula if my baby has a cow's milk allergy?
No. Goat milk formula is not a treatment for cow's milk protein allergy. Goat and cow milk proteins are structurally similar enough that most infants with a diagnosed cow's milk protein allergy react to goat milk as well, so switching to a goat formula does not solve the problem and can delay proper treatment. A diagnosed allergy needs a hydrolysed or amino-acid formula prescribed by your doctor. This formula is also unsuitable for lactose intolerance.
How much prepared formula does one 400 g can make?
One 400 g can of HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 holds about 89 level 4.5 g scoops and makes roughly 90 fluid ounces of prepared formula, which is around 18 bottles of 5 fl oz. Actual yield depends on how accurately each scoop is levelled and on the feed sizes your baby is taking. For planning, published guidance puts a baby at this stage at roughly 4.5 to 6 cans a month, with about 5 as the representative figure.
Does HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2 contain palm oil, starch or maltodextrin?
It contains organic palm oil, alongside organic rapeseed and sunflower oils, and the DHA comes from fish oil rather than microalgae, so it is not vegetarian. It does not contain starch, maltodextrin or added sugar — the carbohydrate stays lactose-based. That is genuinely unusual for a follow-on milk, and it is the row where this can beats Holle Goat Stage 2, which adds both maltodextrin and starch at this age.
What is the difference between HiPP Dutch Goat 2 and HiPP Goat 2?
They are two different retail SKUs of the same HiPP goat range, made in Germany and packaged for different European markets, with different barcodes. The Dutch version is a metal can with a Dutch and French label. The German export version is a box with a German label and a Pfaffenhofen distributor address, and its published panel lists skimmed goat's milk where the Dutch label reads goat milk. The nutrition figures are very close but the two are separate products.
What comes after HiPP Dutch Goat Stage 2?
HiPP's Dutch goat line stops at Stage 2, so there is no Stage 3 in this range to move on to. From around twelve months most parents either move to cow's milk on their doctor's advice, or continue with a toddler milk from another range. If you want to stay with goat milk, Holle's Dutch goat line runs through to Stage 4, and we stock it. Ask your health visitor what suits your baby.
