After this time, bacteria can grow in the milk, which may cause illness. If the baby doesn’t finish the bottle within this period, it’s safest to discard the remaining formula.
Guidelines for Formula Milk Safety:
1. If the baby starts drinking: Use the formula within 1 hour. After that, discard any remaining milk.
2. Prepared but not used: If the formula has been prepared but not offered to the baby, it can be stored:
At room temperature: Up to 2 hours.
In the fridge: Up to 24 hours.
Best Practices:
Always prepare fresh formula for each feeding.
Discard any leftover milk after feeding if not consumed within 1 hour.
Clean and sterilize the bottles thoroughly between uses to ensure hygiene.
This helps prevent any risk of contamination and ensures your baby consumes safe, fresh milk.
