dd is 6 months, can i give her stage 1 milk at some feeds and stage 3 at others?

Help! This may be a dim question, I've just stopped bfing dd2 whose 6.3 months. She's been on hipp stage1, all fine. As such I have lots of powder to use up, but haven't been able to get any stage 1 cartons. I have stage 3 ready made bottles, can I give her this when needed but use up the stage 1 powder when I can? Any harm in mixing them? I'd also like to introduce stage 3 gradually as she gets constipated and I've heard follow on milk makes it worse.

Thanks x

There is no need to use follow on milk at all, it's a marketing gimmick and yes it can cause constipation.

Hipp do do the ready made cartons of stage one, it's not always very well stocked though.

I would say that sounds fine but 5mad is right - you can stay on stage 1 if you want to :)

Thanks, good advice. Main reason I want to get on stage 3 is that the ready made bottles are much cheaper then the stage 1 cartons (which are never in stock hereabouts anyway)... Just can't get my head round the powder, letting the water cool for 30 mins etc so ready made much better.
