Hi there,
Not found Hipp Organic but if it's organic you're after then there is a brand called Bellamy's which I've seen in Jason's and also at the organic food shop in the basement of the Forum. It's about $50 a can

Sadly, no... Perhaps it's like the equivalent of 'Gold Top' cow's milk for use on high days and holidays only!

that's a lotta money for milk powder.
but dairy prices has been increasing crazily world wide...
yet why wouldn't a mom breast feed her child?
it's free and nutritious and can be expressed to be stored for future feedings too.
$50 pays for a lotta healthy food for both mother (and child).
breast is best! (again, i must stress this isn't meant to be a pervy term)

We've been using Hipp since before moving here last year from Europe, and it was a great to find it available here...it took a while to find but now I have a list of shops:
the cheapest is Love of the Earth, 3rd floor Holland Shopping (a tiny shop in the corner) -currently out of stock until mid July-I was there on Friday...they deliver if you bulk buy!
I first found it at the German Market Place on Buhkit Timah road near Coronation Plaza...no worry if you don't speak German, the ladies there will help you -oh and be careful with the measuring quantities when making the feed...it differs from the British Hipp, it's called "Bio" in German -basically Organic. They also have all the cereals, teas and Hipp drinks- it is a German brand after all!
If you are desperate and need the milk at a higher price then go to Super Nature on Orchard Boulevard- they have loads of stuff, great for organic veg but pricey!
My last resort is Brown Rice in Tanglin, they always have stock but that's because they charge SGN8 more than the 1st place I mentioned!!! Take the membership card, you get a 10% discount and trust me, it works out for you in the end.
Hope this helped and I wish someone could have given me this legwork when I moved here but c'est la vie....!!!

aiya.... if the baby is more than 1 year old, no need to spend your money on organic milk la. just buy them full cream fresh milk or UHT.
i mean, your child not gonna be on organic food for the rest of their life. they are gonna be growing up to makan everywhere from gastro restaurant to a rojak stall next to a longkang.

The German Hipp boxes are different colors to the UK.
While I know I am on the thin line for advertising but we have change over to Pediasure for our toddler, so have 9 unopened boxes of HIPP #3 sitting here.
PM me if you want to make an offer they expire 09 and was purchase from the German supermarket.

Sorry to upset you Durain, but UHT is not good for growing bones and teeth in under 2s'.
