Hipp Organic Multigrain Cereal With Squash and Carrot

HiPP Organic Multigrain Cereal with Squash and Carrot, 200 g, from 6 months

HiPP Organic Multigrain Cereal with Squash and Carrot is an organic baby cereal for babies from 6 months, and it is a savory one rather than a sweet one. Carrot puree is the largest ingredient at 44 percent and pumpkin puree adds another 9 percent, so more than half the box is vegetable. The grain side is a multigrain blend of corn, oats, barley and rye with wheat semolina, and added vitamin B1 finishes it. It arrives as a powder in a 200 g box and contains no milk.

Most baby cereals are fruit-led, and this one is not, which is the whole reason to have it. At 44 percent carrot and 9 percent squash, 53 percent of the dry mix is vegetable puree. Squash and pumpkin are the same thing under two names; the product title says squash and the declaration says pumpkin. The taste that comes out of the box is carrot first, which is mild and slightly sweet without being a fruit flavor, and that is a genuinely different thing for a baby to meet from a spoon.

The cereal side is deliberately mixed. Wheat semolina is 22 percent and a cereal flour blend is 24 percent, made up of corn, whole grain oats, whole grain barley and whole grain rye. So five cereals in total, four of which carry gluten: wheat, oats, barley and rye. Corn does not. HiPP states the box contains gluten and describes the organic cereals in it as easily digestible.

What is not in it is as useful as what is. HiPP states this cereal has no added sugar, no flavorings, no coloring agents and no preservatives, and that it does not contain milk. The milk-free recipe is what makes the three preparations possible: you can make it up with a made-up infant milk, with cow's milk and water, or with water and fruit puree and no dairy at all, and the choice is yours rather than the box's.

One nutrient is added, declared as thiamine mononitrate: vitamin B1. HiPP states that vitamin B1 supports the nervous system, which is the function this nutrient is recognized for, and European rules require a baby cereal to carry it. Beyond the vegetables, the five cereals and that one vitamin, the declaration stops. As a European baby cereal it is a short list built around a vegetable rather than a fruit.

Where this one sits in the weaning day

A carrot-led bowl reads as a midday or evening meal rather than a breakfast, and most families use it that way. HiPP publishes no meal-time positioning for this box, so that is our reading of the recipe rather than an instruction: it is savory, it is vegetable-heavy, and it sits more naturally next to a vegetable puree than next to a fruit porridge. Nothing stops you serving it in the morning if your baby prefers it then.

Its real value is variety. A baby who has had several weeks of apple, banana and pear cereals has learned that a spoon means something sweet, and that is a habit worth interrupting early. A vegetable cereal keeps savory tastes in the rotation at the age when babies are most willing to accept new ones. Carrot is the gentlest place to do that, which is presumably why HiPP leads with it.

It is not a first cereal. Four gluten-bearing cereals arrive together here, and so do two vegetables, which is five or six new things in one bowl. The usual order is one grain at a time, a few days apart, so that a reaction can be traced to its cause. Once wheat, oats, barley and rye have each been met singly, a mixed box like this one becomes the straightforward next step.

How to prepare HiPP Organic Multigrain Cereal with Squash and Carrot

The three preparations, with HiPP's own quantities

Quantities are the ones published for this box on this page. HiPP's own product information for this cereal confirms that three preparations exist and names them, but does not repeat the quantities online, so the box in your hand governs. Tablespoon measures are a guide to the gram weights beside them rather than a substitute for them.

Formula, milk and water, or dairy-free: which should you use?

All three are HiPP's own preparations for this same box, so none of them is a workaround. The question is which liquid suits your baby now, and how far one box goes on each route, because the dairy-free version uses less than half the powder the milk routes do.

HiPP states this cereal does not contain milk, which is why the third route works at all. Milk does not appear on the ingredient declaration for the box; any dairy in the bowl comes from the liquid you choose. All three routes carry the same four gluten cereals.

What is in it

HiPP's own statements for this cereal in full: it contains gluten; it does not contain milk; it has no added sugar, no flavorings, no coloring agents and no preservatives; the organic cereals in it are described as easily digestible; and vitamin B1 supports the nervous system.

Read as a list, that is two vegetables, five cereals and one added vitamin. Carrot and pumpkin together are 53 percent of the dry weight, the cereals are 46 percent, and the remainder is the vitamin. No sugar, no flavoring, no color and no preservative appears anywhere on the declaration, which is consistent with what HiPP states about the box.

• 44% organic carrot puree
• 9% organic pumpkin puree
• 53% vegetable in total
• Five organic cereals
• No added sugar
• No flavorings
• No coloring agents
• No preservatives
• Contains no milk
• With added vitamin B1
• Contains gluten

How many bowls a 200 g box makes

A dry cereal has no fluid yield, so the useful figure is the bowl count. It depends on the route, because the two milk preparations take 23 g a bowl and the dairy-free fruit preparation takes 11 g, which is less than half.

So one 200 g box is roughly eight bowls the usual way and about eighteen on the dairy-free fruit route, where the fruit puree is carrying most of the volume. A level tablespoon varies from kitchen to kitchen, so treat both counts as planning figures rather than promises.

Both figures are calculated from the gram weights published for this box and the 200 g pack size. No portion count is printed in HiPP's own online product information for this cereal, so these are arithmetic rather than numbers quoted from the manufacturer.

Written from HiPP's own published product information for this cereal and from the ingredient declaration published for this box, which match entry for entry and percentage for percentage. The pack size, the age, the no added sugar statement, the absence of flavorings, colors and preservatives, the milk-free recipe and the vitamin B1 statement are all HiPP's own. The preparation quantities come from the instructions published for this box, because HiPP's online product information names the three preparations without repeating the measures. The bowl counts are arithmetic on those quantities and the pack size. A traces statement is deliberately not given, because none is published; the printed panel governs. Last reviewed 15 October 2026.
