Hi, welcome to HCM.
Lactogen 2 is used after 6 months, till 6 months Lactogen 1 is given. The main difference in both is that they have different amount of fat and protein.
Since, you have given Lactogen 2 for 2 days only, i don't think that it will affect the child in any way.
However, you should monitor the child for loose stools and vomiting which can rarely occur.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
