Organic Life Start gets 5 stars from me! I am a mom of a 6 month old, and when I was looking for a follow-on milk to support my baby's development, Organic Life Start had the product I was looking for. It shipped and arrived so quickly when I was in a pinch and running low on my baby's current formula. Additionally, I am so impressed with the products available... some of the formula isn't even available in US stores such as Target and Walmart. I highly approve of and recommend Organic Life Start to other families for their baby's needs. -Andrea A.

Excellent Experience with Organic Life Start!
I had a wonderful experience ordering from Organic Life Start. I ordered HiPP baby formula from Germany and received it in 2 days,which was amazing! As a parent of a newborn, it’s great to have the option to order the formula we want and have it delivered so quickly. The HiPP formula has been working very well for my newborn, and I’ve been extremely happy with it so far. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a free formula with my first purchase, which was a really nice touch and made the experience even better. Fast shipping, great service, and an excellent first time buying experience. I’m very happy to have found Organic Life Start and will definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommended
Would definitely order from Organic Life Start again …
I had a good experience ordering baby formula from Organic Life Start. I was looking for formula from the UK, and they made the ordering process easy and convenient. My order arrived as expected, and everything was packaged well and in good condition. It’s reassuring to have a reliable option for ordering UK formula when it can be difficult to find locally. Overall, I’m happy with my experience and would order from them again. Khanh Duong from Ca US

Customers in Australia, Canada, the US, and China may require additional supplements to meet local nutritional guidance.
Holle A2 Stage 2 Formula Instructions
Begin by washing your hands and sterilizing your equipment and workspace. In order to kill off any residual bacteria that may be in your water, boil 1 liter of water and leave it to cool for up to 30 minutes.
Read the feeding chart relevant to your specific formula. Depending on your baby's age, add the corresponding water and formula ratios. Use the formula scoop provided inside of your box so as to ensure accurate measurements.
Close the bottle with a sterilized cap and shake vigorously until all formula powder has been dissolved and no lumps remain. We recommend placing a nipple cap over the bottle top so as to avoid touching it with your hands.
Baby formula is ready for feeding when it reaches body temperature (~98°F). You may cool the formula in the refrigerator in order to reach this desired temperature, and you can test the formula on your forearm to make sure it isn't too hot. Use the formula immediately after preparation.
Holle A2 Stage 2 Formula Baby Brezza Settings
Please note that Baby Brezza may change their suggested settings at any time. Organic Life Start is not affiliated with Baby Brezza and these settings are for your convenience based on publicly available information. We bear no responsibility for the accuracy of these settings should Baby Brezza change them. Always ask your pediatrician for feeding guidance specific to your baby.
- Each baby formula uses different mixing proportions. Only use the scoop that is included in your formula.
- Only add water and scoops at the ratios intended by the manufacturer. Do not supplement the milk feeds with any additional ingredients.
- Do not prepare feeds in advance. In order to maintain maximum nutritional value, use the feeds immediately and dispose of any leftovers feed.
- Once prepared, feed should be used within 1 hour. Prepared formula should not be refrigerated, stored, or reheated in any way, as this could increase the risk of bacterial contamination from sources external to the formula, and storage may cause prepared formula to separate.
- Once opened, formula should be used within 21 days. Any unopened formula should not be used after the expiration date printed by the manufacturer on the box.
Product Description
Holle A2 Stage 2: Gentle, Organic Follow-On Nutrition for Babies 6+ Months
From the moment a child is born, parents rely on breastfeeding or combine it with high-quality formula feeding. In the first stages, parents choose the Stage 1 formula for babies up to 6 months old. After this period, parents look for a formula that contains enhanced nutritional elements. At 6 months, children develop rapidly and have increased energy needs. Holle A2 Stage 2 becomes the ideal choice for babies six months and older. The formula is premium and organic, providing excellent safety. The formula's foundation remains A2 beta-casein protein.
The formula is formulated with an organic base and contains European ingredients that meet high-quality standards and are exceptionally pure. The formula adheres to Demeter standards, which ensures a clean composition and safety. It contains the necessary vitamins, minerals, and easily digestible carbohydrates. Holle A2 formula does not contain any dangerous or harmful ingredients. Many parents believe this formula has earned its reputation in the market for its safety, purity, and nutritional balance.
Why Parents Upgrade to Holle A2 Stage 2 at 6 Months
The Holle brand has been providing parents with high-quality products for over 85 years, establishing itself as a leading European brand. After six months, babies need increased amounts of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. At 6 months, babies are actively exploring the world and improving their mobility. Parents begin introducing solid foods and seek nutritious alternatives to support this transition. Parents choose A2 baby formula to provide additional nutrition and support their baby's active development. The formula has many advantages that parents appreciate. Here are the key ones:
- Gentle transition from the previous stage. For up to six months, parents use the Stage 1 formula designed for newborns. The baby can make a smooth transition from this formula or from exclusive breastfeeding. The formula contains nutrients to support healthy development.
- Energy support. To support energy needs, the formula contains additional organic starch. It provides a feeling of satiety and keeps active children fuller for longer periods.
- Improved digestion. A2 infant formula contains organic certified ingredients. The formula excludes GMOs and soy to reduce colic and digestive discomfort.
- Compatible with solid food. The formula is an excellent choice to complement the introduction of solid foods. It works well alongside the introduction of vegetables, fruits, and various cereals. The transition becomes smooth and nutritious for the baby.
- Balanced set of vitamins and minerals. The high-quality formula contains DHA, ARA, healthy fats, iron, and calcium. They support bone growth and the baby's overall development.
The A2 Protein Advantage for Babies 6+ Months
The formula contains high-quality A2 beta-casein as its primary protein source. This protein differs from regular A1 protein in that it does not form the BCM-7 peptide during digestion. This peptide can cause gas, discomfort, and intestinal irritation in babies. Parents often choose this premium formula for children who have previously experienced these digestive issues. For parents looking for the best A2 formula, it is essential to consider the composition and quality. The formula provides comfort and supports healthy baby development. The A2 protein has become the foundation for many parents' choices, backed by positive reviews. Here are the main advantages of the A2 protein:
- Easy digestion. The formula contains the necessary ingredients and minerals for comfortable digestion. The baby receives proteins without burdening the digestive system.
- Reduction of gas and colic. Thanks to its high-quality, pure composition, the formula provides clean nutrition. It has a positive effect on reducing gas and colic in babies after feeding.

Today, A2 baby formula remains a key quality standard. The formula contains the proper nutrients and offers improved digestibility. Choosing the right stage helps lay the foundations for future health. Here are the key aspects of supporting baby development from six months:

We’ve been very happy with the baby formula we received from Organic Life Start. As a new parent, finding a formula that we feel comfortable giving our newborn is really important to us. The ordering process was easy, the formula arrived in good condition, and we appreciate the quality and care that goes into the product. We’re grateful to have found an option that works well for our family. Thank you, Organic Life Start! ❤️ Love Adnan Yousaf
I can't say enough good things about Organic Life Start. Their customer service team (Erika, Stephanie, Angel, and Ana, just to name a few) has been responsive, helpful, and consistently professional. Every question I've had was answered quickly, and it's clear they genuinely care about the families they serve. I found them in June 2022 when my first son was born. I had ordered formula from another website, but the shipment was delayed multiple times and I ended up cancelling. Since I wasn't able to produce much milk and wanted a clean, high-quality formula for my baby, finding Organic Life Start was a huge relief. Orders ship out fast, so I can always trust that I'll have his formula in time. That kind of reliability means everything when you're feeding a newborn. I'm still a customer today. My son now takes Kendamil Organic Toddler formula as a supplement. I once forgot to update my subscription and ended up with extra supply, but with the long expiration dates, nothing went to waste and he was able to use all of it. With my baby girl due this December, I've already set up a subscription so I have formula on hand in case I can't produce as much milk for her. Having that peace of mind is priceless. The product selection is excellent, with a great range of clean, organic options, and the website has helpful, detailed information that makes choosing a formula much easier. Prices are fair, packaging is secure, and the whole experience feels personal rather than transactional. If you're a new or expecting parent looking for quality formula and a company you can count on, I highly recommend Organic Life Start. Thank you to the whole team for supporting my family through two babies!
Very smooth
Happy with the order, great product. — Camilo
