Where to buy Holle, HiPP and Lebenswert formula in the US: The Best Trustworthy Vendors in 2023!
This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Please read my disclosure.
Many of you know that when I had my daughter, breastfeeding was not easy. I stuck with it for as long as I could, but eventually I needed to supplement with formula. After a ton of online research, discussions with doctors, and conversations with friends, I came up with this list of the best organic baby formulas (with Holle, HiPP, and Lebenswert formula ranking at the top of the list).
In coming up with the list, I realized that all of the healthiest baby formulas are produced in Europe. So in addition to identifying the formulas, I needed to find reliable places to buy European formula in the US.
The good news is – since my daughter was born in 2014, there are many more places where you can buy baby formula in the US! The bad news is, there are also still a lot of untrustworthy vendors out there. That’s why I have created a thorough screening process to find the most most trustworthy online vendors that I could feel comfortable recommending as places to buy Holle, HiPP and Lebenswert formula in the US.
As of January 2022, the below 9 online retailers are the safest and most reliable places to buy European formulas.
Some of the items below were given to me to review by the manufacturer or as part of an affiliate program. I may receive commissions if you make a purchase through the links provided. I only recommend products I’ve actually evaluated, I believe are the highest quality, and can do the most to help you and your family. By purchasing any of these products from the links below, you help keep this blog running, so thanks for your support!
My recommendations are based on the manufacturer’s claims and ingredients list, and what I feel best giving to my own family. Your individual results may be different based on your overall diet, exercise, age, weight, family history, or pre-existing conditions.
Best Places to Buy Holle, HiPP, and Lebenswert Formula in the US
1. The Milky Box
The Milky Box is the only online retailer I’ve found that literally has every European formula you can think of. They are dedicated to ensuring that organic European formulas are available to any parents who want them in the US! And their supply chain is so robust they virtually guarantee that they are always in stock of HiPP Dutch, HiPP UK, HiPP Germany, Holle, Lebenswert, Goat milk formula, and the sensitive formulas (HiPP HA, Comfort, Anti-Reflux).
And, they even carry more specialty formulas like Jovie Goat Milk, HiPP Goat Milk, Stage 3 and Stage 4 formula from HiPP, Holle, Jovie, Kendamil, Lebenswert, Kabrita, Nannycare, Premibio, and organic vegan baby formulas like Bebe M!
What Makes The Milky Box Stand Out?
- Guaranteed availability of ALL the European formulas
- They offer one of the largest varieties that is also the most expansive. They carry stages up until 2 years old, so that moms have the option to continue offering high quality milk to their toddlers.
- The business started in 2021 and has multiple warehouses across the world, including in Europe and North America to ensure formula gets to you ASAP.
- The only reputable supplier of Kendamil & Jovie Formulas
- Free standard shipping on all 6, 8, & 12 pack orders!
- A comprehensive mixing guide for every formula listed on their website in case customers lose their instructions.
- A subscribe & save option (up to 5%) with delivery every 1-2 months. And, you can buy bundles to save more!

2. Organic’s Best
Organic’s Best is based in Germany, and is passionate about making organic baby formula and baby food available internationally (to any family who wants it!) They carry HiPP Dutch, HiPP Germany, HiPP UK, Holle, and Lebenswert. They also carry HiPP HA, HiPP Comfort, and HiPP AR.
One thing that makes this company unique is that they ship internationally for free, and they will guarantee fast delivery between 1-4 business days. Additionally, every new customer also receives two free boxes of formula! They have low prices, and they include free shipping insurance for every order, and they guarantee availability of all formulas – so you never have to worry about your favorites being out of stock!
3. Baby Milk Bar
Baby Milk Bar is a family run business based in Europe. They carry some of the widest selection of organic baby formula you will find! Each blend is handpicked by their team to ensure high quality formula to suit every baby’s needs.
They carry every brand you might want like HiPP Dutch, HiPP German, Lebenswert, Holle and Holle Goat milk formulas. They also carry HiPP HA & HiPP Comfort, among others. They even offer a Single Parent Scholarship designed to support any single parent who wants to pursue their education. And they offer FREE shipping to the US and Canada for any orders over $100!
4. Bottles & Burps
When it comes to affordability, Bottles & Burps is the lowest priced US retailer I have found that sells HiPP, Holle, Lebenswert and Kendamil. They can get all of these products to most US households in 2-4 days from their European warehouse with their standard free shipping. They are committed to bringing high quality, European formula to parents in the US at an attractive price.
What makes Bottles and Burps stand out?
- Bulk pricing discounts which start at 4 boxes of formula and increase as you buy more
- To save even more, you can order larger bundles (with free, express 2-5 day shipping to the US)
- Get 20% off any single pack using the code PICKYEATER20! (just enter it manually in the checkout process!)

Organic Formula Shop is a family run company that delivers HiPP, Holle, and Lebenswert straight from the Netherlands. All orders are shipped for free (bulk orders as well) and via express delivery in 3 to 5 business days. Their prices are low and very competitive. They are committed to help North American parents find the best and healthiest organic formulas for their little one.
What Makes Organic Formula Shop Stand Out?
- Founded by two Dutch parents committed to getting affordable European formula to parents in the US.
- No matter your order size, all orders are delivered via Express DHL within 4 business days.

6. Organic Baby Food
Organic Baby Food is a reputable, online retailer based in the EU who has fast shipping to the US! They sell HiPP, Lebenswert, and Holle, along with Hypoallergenic formula and Goat’s Milk formula. They have reasonable prices, reliable shipping (within 1-3 business days!), amazing customer support, and I have been in contact with the owner personally.
What Makes OrganicBabyFood Stand Out?
- Guaranteed delivery within 2 days
- Money back if your shipment is delayed
- Dedicated customer support (a few hours turnaround time for emails or direct phone support at 1-800-701-4303)
- Occasional promotions and discounts (sometimes up to 60%)
- They are also giving readers of The Picky Eater a 10% off coupon code at checkout – just use the code: PICKY and you will get the discount!
- They carry organic cereals and snacks for babies from HiPP/Holle/Leb as well!
Note: I’m in personal contact with these distributors and feel comfortable recommending them to you as reliable and safe places to purchase European formulas.
Please note that The Picky Eater is not responsible for the quality of either the formula itself or the experience of ordering from any of the distributors listed above. I am simply saying that based on my research, if I were buying a European formula for my own child, I would feel 100% comfortable getting it from any of the vendors listed in this post.
How do I know which Hipp formula to buy? There are so many? Hipp Germany, Hipp UK, Hipp Dutch. What’s the difference?
Hi Carly! HiPP Dutch Stage 1 is the best one but they are often out of stock due to supply issues, but HiPP Germany PRE is exactly the same ingredients as HiPP Dutch Stage 1 so it’s a good substitute. After that, HiPP UK Stage 1 is the next best, and then HiPP Germany Stage 1. I outline the reasons why in this post 🙂 Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi Anjali, thank you for your blog and helpful articles, I purchased Hipp UK to try for my baby due to very low milk supply, im still crying over the fact that i couldnt BF my baby????, my question to you is about the preparation: when i make 9 oz after i shake the bottle it goes up to 10 oz. i divide this in two 5 oz bottles. Is my baby eating less or how do u calculate how much i should b giving him.
Thank you
Hi Diana! Oh man I completely understand the struggle to breastfeed – low milk supply is the worst! But don’t worry – your baby will do great on HiPP UK – it’s a wonderful formula that is very close to breastmilk 🙂 Regarding the preparation – yes that’s right – 9oz of formula will make about 10oz of “liquid” when you add the water in. You still count it at 9oz of formula though – not 10 (because it’s 9oz of actual “food”). So if you divide it into two bottles, I’d say each bottle counts as 4.5oz of formula. Babies will eat anywhere from 24-40oz in a 24 hour period (typically) – so your baby will likely fall in that range. Both of my kids averaged about 28-30oz of milk per day when they were 3-10 months old, and then went down to about 21-24oz per day when solids were fully established – e.g. 3 full meals per day. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi!
Thank you so much for doing such great research and having this info available for all parents!
I was wondering about Hipp Germany PRE since the Dutch Hipp is unavailable at the moment. Is there a difference between the German PRE and the Dutch one?
Hi Adika! HiPP PRE is a great option as a substitute for HiPP Dutch! It basically has the exact same ingredients! I’d absolutely recommend it 🙂 Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you so much!!
Anytime! 🙂
Hi! How long can you use this formula?
Most of the expiration dates tend to be at least 6 months – 1 year out from the date of purchase (the format is always DAY / MONTH / YEAR). Depending on which formula you purchase, you’ll get between 500g and 800g of formula per box, which makes between 18 to 25 bottles per box of formula. Hope that helps!
I just received our order of Holle Stage 1. I bought from OrganicBabyShop based on Maia’s recommendation. The website was great and our formula shipped quickly. I feel good about it but would love more feedback from people.
That’s good to know Ashley! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I just purchased from them. How did it go? I havent given it to my baby yet.
Has anyone had any experience with buying from organicbabyfood.shop?
Hi Viktoria! So sorry I don’t have any experience with this seller so I can’t vouch for them! Maybe someone else has though!
Hi
I want suggestion for baby formula.My 3 month old baby is always gassy.So I decided that holle would be best for her after browsing internet .As you mentioned that dutch version of hipp is better I want to know whether it is best option or holle for gassy baby
Hi Sahitya! So yes, Dutch HiPP should be better for a gassy baby than Holle – I have heard that babies do better on Dutch HiPP. But actually, even better than Dutch HiPP might be HiPP Comfort – which is specifically for helping gassy babies. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you for the information and can you let me know for how many days we have to wait to see the results after changing formula
No problem! I’d say about a week or so – you should see results once your baby’s body adjusts to the new formula. Hope this helps your little one have less gas! But some babies are just gassy for the first 3-4 months and no formula really helps – so that’s something to keep in mind. And if that’s the case I’d suggest gas drops and gripe water to help your baby stay comfortable!
thank you for prompt response..one more doubt my doctor suggested probiotics daily once.Can i mix with milk or what are the options .
No problem! And yes you can add probiotics directly into the formula! Jarrow Formulas has a great infant probiotics that you can use 🙂
Hi! Thank you for this blog…its been super helpful! I ordered from MyOrganicFormula and I got my package but it shipped from Chatsworth, CA which made me start to question the authenticity. I emailed the company for verification on the authenticity of my Holle Formula and am still waiting on a response. Are you still able to vouch for them? Im a first time mom and just a little weary. I want to give my LO the best possible 🙂
Hi Ewa! I am able to vouch for MyOrganicFormula — they are based in the US so I’m not surprised your formula shipped from California 🙂 The company has recently changed owners so they might be slightly delayed in responding — have they gotten back to you yet? Let me know! Hope that helps!
Hi there. I really appreciate all of your research. It’s scary to order products from companies and not be able to fully verify they send the products they claim. I’ve ordered from BabyKind Market and had a good experience. Any thoughts on that company? In the future I will order from Peter and Baby Munchkin as that entity seems fully vetted.
Hi Ellen! I have also heard good things about BabyKind from other parents, so they are probably fine to order from. But Organic Start Wholesale is actually much cheaper than BabyKind – which is why I’d recommend going with them if you’re ok with buying formula in bulk! Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Anjali,
Thank you for all your thorough and exhaustive research for us discerning parents! It is an amazing resource for our family. My wife is unable to breastfeed as she is a breast cancer survivor (we celebrate 10 years of cancer free in August!!!). So unfortunately she is unable to breastfeed which has put us on a mission to find the very best, clean formula for our now 12 day old boy (who we call our miracle baby!) We started with Holle from Beyond Organic Baby (won’t use them anymore based on the feedback here). However we want to get the HIPP Dutch stage 1 for him based on the terrific information you have put forth for us. Many of the shipping vendors listed are out of stock or not taking new customers. Sad what our FDA is doing!
We came across this vendor…. https://www.formuland.com Is this a reputable, trustworthy US vendor in your opinion? My lovely wife and I wanted to hear your thoughts on them based on your relationships with the many owners of these operations.
Thanks for all you do!! It is truly a relief to find such a terrific, knowledgeable expert in this area!
Phil & Lori
Hi Phil and Lori! First of all, thank you so much for sharing your amazing story with me!! That is absolutely incredible – Lori congratulations on being 10 years cancer free – what an inspiring milestone!! 🙂 So yes, for HiPP Dutch Stage 1 – I think Formuland might be the only one selling it (since Organic Baby Food only sells German HiPP). I only know of one or two people who have ordered from Formuland but it seems like they have both had good experiences. I don’t have any contacts at Formuland so I can’t vouch for them personally but I also haven’t heard anything negative from readers who have ordered from them! So I’d say give it a shot 🙂 If it doesn’t work out you can always get German HiPP or Lebenswert from Organic Baby Food! Hope that helps and congratulations on your little one! Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime!
Thank you so much for this post! Very helpful information. Do you use any other vendors other than organic munckin? They aren’t taking any new customers. Also do you think DHA is needed in formula? I can’t decide between Dutch Hipp or Lebenswert. If I went with Leb is it good to supplement DHA?
Thank you for any help! You are so knowledgeable and have done such through research.
Hi Lydia! So yes – I’d highly recommend Organic Baby Food – they are very reputable and ship free to the US 🙂 Regarding DHA — it’s not necessary for it to be included in formula if you can remember to supplement daily with it 🙂 If you do use Leb I’d add Nordic Naturals Infant DHA to your baby’s formula or food. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks a million for your prompt response! I am going order from them asap!
No problem at all! So glad it was helpful – I’m sure you’ll have a good experience with them but if you have any issues at all let me know!
Hi, is MyOrganicFormula a reputable US retailer? Thank you. Ximena
Hi Ximena! Yes absolutely – they are extremely reputable and I know the owner personally. But right now they are only selling to existing customers, so if you don’t already have an account I’d recommend Organic Baby Food who is another super reliable and reputable seller of European formulas. They are based in Germany but ship to the US for free. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Be bought Holle from Beyond Organic Baby and they are the worst. Got some packages that were totally rancid (the baby alerted us by not taking it) and contacted them with no answers. Had to throw everything away (a lot of money).
No problem so far with Organic Munchkin.
I suggest that you always try the milk yourselves when you open a new box.
Hi Ralph! That is good to know about Beyond Organic Baby – that’s why they are not one of the sellers I recommend. I’m glad you are having a good experience with Organic Munchkin! In all of the vetting I’ve done, they are great!
I have my 5.5 month baby on the U.K. Version of hipp and she keeps on having really loose stools and very frequently. What about the Dutch version what is it called? I heard that this one has both probiotics and prebiotic in it and no starch please help! Is it true? Other information says it only has probiotics and starch and no prebiotic? So confused y
Hi Ali! The UK Stage 1 version of HiPP and the Dutch Stage 1 version of HiPP are almost identical. Both the UK and Dutch versions don’t have starch (only the German Stage 1 version of HiPP has starch in it). The main difference between the UK and Dutch Stage 1 versions of HiPP is that the UK version only has prebiotics, but the Dutch version has both prebiotics and probiotics. If your baby is having loose stools, you may want to try switching to the Dutch version of HiPP as the additional probiotics can help. Or you could stick with the UK version of HiPP and just supplement with probiotics (I like Jarrow Formulas for Infants). Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
How does it look? The Dutch one?
Hi Ali! I’m not sure what you mean – it looks just like any other HiPP formula. Here is the link if you’re interested!
I ordered Holle baby formula 1 and some Holle cereals from https://www.neogno.com/. I am very satisfied and had all the products delivered to the US within 13 days. At the beginning me and my husband considered that the products will ship from a US warehouse. After noticing that I wrote an email to neogno asking for the estimated delivery time. The answer was promptly and the delivery time was estimated to 15 days. Since we paid much less than any other shop out there we decided to wait until the parcel arrives. Everything was packed with care and our lo is very happy and sleeps like an angel now.
Thanks for the tip Lydia!
Anjali,
Thanks for all your research, and all you do. Keep up your fabulous posts.
Organic munchkin has been out of stock for the HiPP Dutch version for a while now. So I’ve been giving my 11-month son the HiPP stage 2 UK follow on milk in the interim as well as mixing in the the Plum Organic (newborn to 12 months) when I can’t get the HiPP shipped fast enough. Do you think at 12 months organic grass fed whole milk during the day and HiPP Dutch Stage 3 (or if it’s sold out, the U.K. Stage 3 Growing up Milk) at night and in the morning would be a nutritious diet? Or do you think ALL formula bottles (no whole milk) would be more nutritious for a 12 month old? Do you think the Plum Organics (found at Whole Foods) is a good alternative to the Stage 3 when the HiPP can’t be shipped fast enough?
Thanks for your opinions. Much appreciated!
Karenann
Hi Karenann! No problem at all! I’m so glad my post was helpful for you! 🙂 So for your son, at 12 months, I’d recommend switching him completely to Organic Grass Fed Whole Milk — he doesn’t actually need any formula after 1 year of age. He’ll get all the nutrition he needs from the Organic Whole Milk, and it’ll be much cheaper and easier for you as well (no more mixing formula bottles – yay!). For my daughter, I gave her HiPP stage 1 from 0-6 months, HiPP follow on milk from 6-12 months, and then organic whole milk from 12 months onwards. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
Hi! I just bought lebenswert from organic munchkin and im excited to try it for my baby since i cant produce milk even though i tried everything. Anyway i just wanna ask about the Hipp issue, a study says it contains high aluminum. Is it true? They dont know why maybe because of its container. How about the dutch version? I really wanna know cause at first i wanted to try Hipp but when i read about the issue i bought lebenswert instead. Thank you!
Hi Sasa! The short answer is – for HiPP – the aluminum shouldn’t be an issue – the one study that was done was totally inconclusive (as far as I can tell). Here are the details:
– The study was done in 2013 and it’s unclear whether 1) it’s still an issue for HiPP and 2) whether Holle and all of the other formulas had the same issue (since, like you said they weren’t tested)
– Apparently all of the aluminum levels were all within current guideline limits and there was no evidence they were harmful to children, especially since there is aluminum in drinking water/etc.
– We contacted HiPP and here is what they said: “HiPP analyses all the critical raw materials for aluminum contamination on a very regular basis and selects the raw materials with the lowest levels possible to ensure we are providing the safest products possible for babies. The level in our products is kept as low as technically and practicably possible. The level of aluminum in raw materials fluctuates widely as it is an abundant metal in the earth, and this is something we have little control over. The levels of aluminum mentioned in the published studies only show a ‘snap-shot’ of levels in products and other batches of products, not tested, could very easily have much lower levels. At HiPP we have done analysis of final products and generally the content of aluminum has been found to below the detection limit of 0.5mg/kg powder (much lower than the values found in the study).” They also sent along a statement issued by the SNE (former: IDACE) concerning aluminum in infant nutrition. You can also read more about it here: https://hippformulausa.com/hipp-formula-aluminum-study/
Based on all of this, I didn’t see the aluminum as a big issue. But ultimately – I’d say go with whichever formula you are the most comfortable with – both Lebenswert and HiPP are great and much better than the options in the US! Hope that helps!
Hi Anjali! I think you are amazing! The research you’ve done has me immensely. My son is 4 months old and I’ve had to supplement since he was 3 weeks old, unfortunately I am not producing enough milk. One night when he was so frustrated and hungry, before I truly knew he wasn’t getting enough to eat, I gave him a sample I had of Similac’s Supplementation Formula. He did fine with it so I kept him on it for about 3 weeks, always thinking I should go organic, but he was doing well. After a couple weeks I started noticing a chemical smell on him. I knew it was from the formula. How horrible is that?! I started researching on my own and found the Honest Company. We’ve been on their formula for a couple months but I have never been all the way satisfied. Still feeling that there was something better out there. The chemical smell was gone almost instantly when I switched… I just ordered Lebenswert and am so excited to try it! I also want to try the Dutch version of HIPP when OrganicMunchkin gets it back in stock. Their free shipping is such a plus! Long story short, thank you so much for your insight and research, I am very grateful ~
Awww thanks so much Sarah!! I’m so glad this post helped you through finding the best formula for you and your little one. I agree – the non-organic traditional formulas can definitely have weird side effects (like the smell you mentioned!) I’m sure Leb and the Dutch version of HiPP will both work great for your son 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions and keep me posted on how things go!
Hi Anjali,
What makes you think, the dutch hipp is better then the uk/ german one?
Have you really compared the ingredients??
I did, and do not find any difference beside the size!
Please explain what makes you think that??
Thank you Helga
Hi Helga! Great question! The differences are very subtle but they are there. The German version of HiPP has “starch” added as an ingredient, the UK and Dutch versions do not. You can see the German ingredients list here. For Stage 1, the UK and Dutch versions are pretty much the same, but for Stage 2, the UK version has “soy lecithin” as an added ingredient – emulsifier, but the Dutch version for Stage 2 doesn’t have that. You can see the UK Stage 2 ingredients here, and the Dutch Stage 2 ingredients here. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
HI Anjali,
Thanks for this post! It was a challenge to get Hipp in the US when my son was born. It is great to know that it wont be an issue when our second one arrives!…My question to you is do you still think that HIPP or Holle are the best choices out there or fast forward three years would you rate the formulas differently?
Thanks!
Hi Shwetha! No problem at all! Glad you found this post helpful 🙂 I would still recommend HiPP and Holle as great choices, but more specifically now the Dutch version of HiPP is the best one out there (the Germany and UK versions of HiPP are still good but the Dutch one is just a little bit better 🙂 ), and Lebenswert is actually better than regular Holle, and now there is a new formula – Topfer that’s just as good as the Dutch version of HiPP and Lebenswert! So those would be my top 3 formula options now, but regular HiPP and Holle are still also great options. Hope that helps!
Thanks a lot!
Anytime! 🙂
The ingredients say Fish oil in the dutch version compared to German one. Would you still recommend that for a veggie?
Hi! German HiPP has fish oil too – you can see the ingredients here. All the different HiPP formulas (from each country) have fish oil included. Given that, technically, the formula isn’t vegetarian. I consider myself vegetarian but I make an exception for fish oil since the body uses it much more efficiently than DHA from veggie sources (e.g. flax). But if the fish oil is a concern for you, I’d recommend choosing Lebenswert and supplementing with flaxseed oil for DHA (but double check that your pediatrician is comfortable with that first!) Hope that helps!
Thanks for letting me know about organicmunchkin. I just purchased the Hipp Dutch formula from them to supplement in addition to breastfeeding my son. He seems to really like it! The issue I am now having is that organic munchkin is now out of stock of this formula. I can’t seem to get a response from them on when they anticipate more stock. Did you run into this problem with them?
Hi Jennifer! I’m so glad you were able to buy HiPP Dutch and that it worked for your son! That is so strange that Organic Munchkin is out of stock and that you weren’t able to contact them. I’m reaching out to them now, will let you know what they say!
Hi Jennifer! Just wanted to give you a quick update here. Peter – the owner of Organic Munchkin – just got back to me. He said he never got your email which is so strange! But he did say that the Dutch version of HiPP has been in great demand, which is why they are out of stock. They actually have a huge shipment of Dutch HiPP – literally thousands of boxes in their US warehouse currently, but they have to wait to post them on their site until they have received customs and FDA clearance. That clearance could take another day or several weeks to come through, so they are waiting to open it up until they get the clearance. If you need it urgently, I’d suggest buying the UK version — otherwise just know that the Dutch formula is here in the US and just needs a few weeks max until it’ll be available for purchase again! Thanks!
Thanks so much Anjali! You are amazing! I think I was having an issue with my e-mails going out on my new phone. This is fantastic news! I have enough formula for a couple more weeks as I am supplementing in addition to breastfeeding/pumping right now. My son recently started eating a little more though, so he is drinking the formula a little sooner than originally planned.
Definitely placing an order as soon as I see the formula available on their website. I really like the tin container, so I’ll try to hold out for the Dutch type.
Thanks again!!
Aw no problem at all! I’m so glad it was helpful! And oh good – that’s great you have enough for a few weeks. You should be totally fine then – hopefully they’ll get clearance soon and you’ll be able to order the rest of the formula you need! I agree with you too, I like Dutch HiPP the best (both ingredients wise and container wise!) 🙂
Now both the Dutch and U.K. Stage 1’s and 2’s are both out of stock. I’m worried that this formula may be too tough to obtain!
Hi Jennifer! Peter at Organic Munchkin assures me that he has thousands of boxes waiting in his warehouse to be cleared by the FDA so he can post them online. It’s not so much the supply as much as it is the long waiting period by the FDA when getting the formula. He is working to get this supply chain issue resolved very soon. In the meantime I would order the German version of the formula – it’s very comparable to the Dutch/UK versions! Or you could always go with Leb which is great too! Hope that helps!
Thank you. I appreciate your reassurance!
No problem at all!
We purchase Lebenswert stage 1 and 2 from http://www.organicbabyfood24.com and couldn’t be happier with the products received.
This company is wonderful! I had an issue with delivery of my first order, it was accidentally left outside the wrong apartment, and they reimbursed my entire cost. I was so pleased with their customer service that I felt more than comfortable going back to them for future orders – they follow through on their commitment to offer quality products and ship them to the US with no hassle, and it’s made all the difference!
It’s by far the best formula we’ve tried (and we’ve tried quite a few organic formulas from the US). It dissolves easilly, and it’s friendly on our little one’s digestive system. In terms of cost, the total including shipping costs, is quite comparable to what I was paying for organic formula here in the States, so the choice for us to keep going back to Organic Baby was an easy one!
That’s good to know Diana! Leb is a great choice – and I’m glad you’ve found a vendor that works well for you! One issue with Organic Baby that I’ve heard is that they don’t offer free shipping to everywhere in the US. I had a reader in Oregon who tried to order just one box from them and it cost $32 in shipping (for a $28 box of formula!) That’s why I recommend Organic Munchkin – they offer free shipping to anywhere in the US!
I was a bit skeptical to order something that would be coming to me overseas but after hearing really great things, I decided to try it. http://www.organicbabyfood24.com is cheaper than any seller in the US! If you buy stage 1 starter kit (12 boxes) the cost is approx $18 for a box including shipping.
My package came so much quicker than I thought it would, they threw in all kinds of extra goodies like free samples and a cute tote bag, and customer service was awesome. Will definitely be ordering from them again!
Good to know, thanks Jacob!
I am so very satisfied with http://www.maluma-green.com. They also offer free shipping to anywhere in the US.
Brenna
That’s so great to know! 🙂
I am also very happy with this shop. Its a legit company that gives great discounts on organic baby formula. Nice packaging and nice price! Shipping is faster than stated on the website.
So happy to hear that Rachel! 🙂
