Hungry baby instead of first infant formula

My partner accidentally picked up Aptamil Hungry Baby instead of Aptamil First Infant for our 20 week old. As far as I’m aware, you can’t return formula so what’s the best way to use it up at home without upsetting his belly? Can he have 1 bottle of hungry baby at night and his usual milk throughout the day? Has anyone else done similar?

I personally wouldn't use it as it can make babies constipated especially they don't actually need it

Hungry formula isn’t needed. Sell it on or take the loss and throw it away. Some places do allow returns though so it depends where you bought it from.

If it hasn’t been opened you should be able to return it, like any food

Don’t use it !!
My baby was cluster feeding at around 7 weeks old and I thought to try hungry baby milk to see if it’d help

It made my baby super constipated , very sore bum and he was in pain with his belly.
He was like that until I switched back

My midwife said she doesn’t recommend hungry baby milk at all
