Mixing same brand Baby Formula?

[Tashaa Jayde]

My daughter is 9weeks old and is currently taking 6oz of SMA First Infant milk, I did have her on the SMA Hungrier Baby Formula for about a week as she always seemed unsatisfied after her bottles. She was alot more satisfied on Hungrier Baby Milk going about 6hrs in between feeds, however I took her off it because it was causing her constipation and after reading on the internet I didn't like what I read about it sitting in their stomachs for longer tricking them into thinking their hungry.
Now she's been back on the SMA First Infant Milk she's going 4hrs inbetween feeds and seems unsatisfied again after a short time.
It might be a stupid thing to do (hence I haven't tried it yet) but I was wondering if it is ok to mix the Formulas together? 2 scoops of Hungrier Baby Formula and 4 scoops of First Infant Milk in the same bottle? So longs they are both the same brand? I've been reading on the internet and people have said that it's not the right thing to do.
I just want to do the right thing by my daughter and make sure she's happy at all times and just wondered if anyone had any advice for me on this? Has anyone done this themselves?

I am in the US so we have different brand names but yes I have mixed formulas before. I especially did it with my older son who had colic so badly and I became a mad scientist trying to find a "perfect" mixture!

Personally I wouldnt.
When you say that your lo has started going less than 4 hours between feeds, how much less do you mean? My DD2 was going 2.5 hours between feeds at your daughters age, but I still didnt think that she needed hungry baby milk. Hungry baby milk is really ment for babies closer to weaning age who are taking 8-9oz bottles every 2 hours or less and still screaming for more. Hungry baby milk helps by making sure they are not over-eating, being sick and putting on excessive amounts of weight.

Its probably best to email SMA to get the best answer to if you can combine scoops of first milk and hungry baby in the same bottle. xxx
