Proudly New Zealand owned, Baby Steps is produced in our own facilities, giving us full oversight and control of every step in the manufacturing process
From the farms that produce the milk to the final product that your little one gets to enjoy, we ensure every step is guided by care, quality, and a commitment to your child’s well-being.
Working alongside New Zealand’s local farming community is incredibly rewarding for us as we believe high-quality nutrition can only come from an environment treated with the utmost care and integrity. Our relationships with our local farmers are truly personal as we are such a tight-knit community, with a common mission.
Close proximity between partner farms and factories also results in a smaller environmental footprint and this is just one of the things that we believe make Baby Steps goat milk products truly special.
Our factories and head office are located within the Auckland region, New Zealand.

Natural Goodness from Goat Milk

Gentle on tummies
At the heart of our formula is fresh New Zealand whole goat milk, known for its lower level of αS1-casein protein, which may support easier digestion for little tummies in that it creates a softer curd in the tummy that is easier for little ones to digest (1) (2). We then enhance this natural goodness only with the vitamins and minerals your baby needs to provide a safe and nutritious formula.
We also believe that what we leave out is just as important as what we put in and that’s why our formulas are free from palm oil, fish oil, soy, refined sugars, preservatives, and gluten. We are also proudly Halal and vegetarian friendly.
By blending carefully selected ingredients with the natural, nourishing qualities of goat’s milk, we provide a formula that not only supports your baby’s growth but also brings you and your little one comfort and peace of mind with every feed.

Less processed
While processing is a crucial step for safety in the production of infant formula, to preserve the natural goodness of goat milk, at Baby Steps we keep processing to a minimum.
Our formula begins with fresh liquid whole goat milk sourced from our local goat partner farms here in New Zealand. Unlike some formulas made with skim milk and vegetable oils, we use whole goat milk to retain the natural milk fat and reduce the amount of added vegetable oils, providing your little one with improved fat content to support healthy growth and development (3) (4).
Alongside our fresh milk processing method, we also use a wet-blending method which means that nutrients are blended in with the fresh liquid whole goat milk to ensure consistency in the nutrition profile of our products, whilst delivering a clean and fresh taste.
Once fully blended, the milk is then gently heated once to transform it into a powder while also maintaining more of the milk’s original nutrients and natural qualities.
Other formulas on the other hand may undergo two heating phases by using already processed ingredients rather than fresh milk (5). These extra heating and drying steps can increase the level of undesirable compounds found in the milk and reduce its natural integrity.
By keeping things simple and gentle at Baby Steps, we deliver a formula that stays closer to what nature intended because your little one deserves nothing less.
