Using different formulas (not switching)

[ktod]

I'm just wondering if you can use different formulas at the same time. Checked on google but couldn't find an answer! What I mean is use normal milk in the day but staydown milk at night, I don't mean mixing them together. Or is it best to just use one type?

I've heard you should stick to one "type" but can switch between brands.
I waited for about 5 months and now I've been using up my samples which I have a few cans of left over. I've noticed no difference.

Can i ask why? I think staydown formula is most effective when its used for every feed. I wouldn't mix at such a young age. When my LO was younger the slightest change would upset him. Now hes older he can drink any brand of milk.

He is sick a lot at night but not so bad in the day. I could just use staydown all the time but I don't really want to give him it all the time if he doesn't need it.

I suppose if its the same brand he would just get used to it. You can always try and stop if it bothers LO.

I know a few people who use regular formula in the day and hungry formula in the night, same brands of course. I imagine it ok if it's not upsetting your lo.
