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?

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.
Thank you!!
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
I must be the only person who's baby has done good on hungry baby 🫣
Thank you, I didn’t use it. We will try and return it and if not - give it away x
I personally wouldn't use it as it can make babies constipated especially they don't actually need it
