Baby Formula Comparison Chart

Choosing a formula is one of the biggest decisions you'll make for your baby, and with so many options it can feel overwhelming. This chart puts every formula we carry side by side, so you can compare stages, certifications and key ingredients at a glance.

Every baby is different. If you'd like help choosing or switching, our formula experts are happy to help at hello@themilkybox.com or on live chat, Monday to Friday, 8 am–5 pm CST.

How to read this chart

  • Suitable from: The youngest age the formula is made for. Always follow the stage and age shown on the tin.
  • Organic certification: EU means the EU organic logo. Demeter and Biodynamic are biodynamic certifications, which go beyond EU organic rules. A dash means the formula isn't certified organic.
  • Milk fat: Whether the formula is made with whole milk (keeping the milk's natural fat) or skimmed milk with vegetable oils as the main fat source.
  • Probiotics: Live cultures added to the formula, such as the L. fermentum culture in HiPP® Combiotic formulas.
  • Prebiotics: Fibres such as GOS and FOS that feed the good bacteria in your baby's gut.
  • Starch: Some formulas add starch to make them a little thicker. A ✕ means no added starch.
  • Maltodextrin: A carbohydrate made from starch that some formulas add alongside lactose. A ✕ means lactose-only or no maltodextrin.
  • DHA source: Where the formula's DHA (omega-3) comes from: fish oil or algae. Algae-based DHA is fish-free.
  • Palm or coconut oil: Which of these two oils the formula contains, if any.
