Hipp hungry infant formula before bedtime - views?

Hi there.

So we are combination feeding our 4-month old, 60% breastfeeding and 40% formula in the evenings. But she is going through the 4m sleep regression and also seems much hungrier than before (about 3x hungrier than 2-3 weeks ago according to the app where I've been recording her feeds).

She also wakes up much more often in the second half of the night and only the booby can settle her back to sleep. We use the Hipp first infant milk before bedtime and I wonder if using the Hipp hungry infant instead might make any difference.
Any views?

Thanks

It has the same calories as first milk but can be harder to digest. It could cause constipation and make no difference to sleep

It’s harder to digest but she won’t get any more calories. This means if she is waking now because she is hungry then she won’t be get enough calories. Breast fed babies have to feed lots during the night to increase your milk supply.

Well, I'm not sure she needs any more calories at night time as we're feeding her much more during the day and also during the night, but what I'd like to do is just to space out her night feeds a little ... maybe every 3 hours instead of 2? Because I'm EXHAUSTED ..

Anyway, is anyone using the "HIPP hungry infant formula" and what is your opinion of it? Thanks
