Parents across the US have been eager to get their hands on European formula—but here’s why you should think twice before clicking ‘buy.’
As new parents, we all want to provide our newborns with the best possible nutrition.

In our practices, a number of parents have expressed interest in using imported European infant formulas, such as Holle and HiPP.
The bottom line: We, as well as the AAP, don’t recommend using imported European infant formulas purchased over the internet from third-party vendors.
