European baby formulas are made in Europe and follow strict EU regulations for quality, safety and nutrition. They often use organic ingredients and cows’ or goats’ milk as the base, while non-European formulas may contain synthetic additives and use various types of milk. The use of organic ingredients and higher quality ingredients in European formulas may offer some added nutritional value, but all infant formula sold in the EU must meet the same nutritional standards. European formulas may be more expensive and harder to find than non-European options, and some babies may have a sensitivity to cows’ milk protein. It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best feeding option for your baby.
There are many different baby formula and food brands available, each with its own unique benefits and values. Hipp is a trusted brand of organic baby food, while Holle sources its ingredients from biodynamically managed farms and is committed to sustainability. Kabrita offers both cow’s milk-based and goat’s milk-based formula, which may be more suitable for some babies with allergies or sensitivities.
