Brief Answer:
No major health issues expected.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Please do not worry about the misshaping.
The fat percentage and protein percentage of the two variants of the milk differ. This is not going to affect the health of the baby major way with just once such instance.

The baby may have a tummy upset with two or three loose stools. Do not panic, just give the same dose of regular milk. May be some water if needed.Stay calm and let the new milk be expelled by the baby's gut by itself in the form of stool.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
